- VOCES8 sing 'Bethlehem Down' by Peter Warlock at the VOCES8 Centre in London.
TEXT by Bruce Blunt
When He is King we will give him the King's gifts,
Myrrh for its sweetness, and gold for a crown,
"Beautiful robes", said the young girl to Joseph
Fair with her first-born on Bethlehem Down.
Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight
Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold,
Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.
When He is King they will clothe Him in grave-sheets,
Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown,
He that lies now in the white arms of Mary
Sleeping so lightly on Bethlehem Down.
Here He has peace and a short while for dreaming,
Close-huddled oxen to keep Him from cold,
Mary for love, and for lullaby music
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.
Every time I listen to Voces8 I am astonished at the perfection of the timing, the harmony and the diction. They are wonderful, I am awestruck
Ah, so grateful that Christmas music hasn't ended yet . Thank you for sharing.
Transcending time and space and races,
this song heals and purifies and warms and enriches people‘s hearts
Merci de fleurir nos fêtes de fin d'année d'arpèges aussi mélodieux au son de voix divinement pures ...
Agréables fêtes pour vous , félicitations pour ce que vous donnez par votre coeur et votre âme.....❤❤🌹🌹❄❄
I cannot stop listening to this. I have even thought of it, waking up in the middle of the night. What sheer beauty, what a gift. Thank you so much.
Merci ! je vous écoute en ce 29 décembre à l'heure où mon père "passait vers le Père", il y a 18 ans déjà, par un beau soir d'hiver très pur et clair...🌃❄️❄️❄️
Ce chant m'a apaisé : merci à vous, passez de beaux moments de paix et de joie près de ceux que vous aimez !
Et une Joyeuse Année 2023 à vous et tous les vôtres !
Exquisitely sensitive performance of this lovely Christmas lullaby (new to me). Many thanks for introducing me to it !! I know I will be coming back to this moving anthem again and again.
Well said
Lot of new singers. Miss the old ones, though glad the tall goddess is still there.
When you consider that the beautiful and haunting Bethlehem Down was written under the circumstances of the author's and composer's lives, it is a small miracle that it exists. Warlock was not religious and both he and Blunt were low on drinking money. I suppose that was enough motivation to write this gem.
Interesting! Though not so surprising, given that being low on money has inspired many great artists over the centuries. And of course, simply feeling spiritual or emotional rather than religious can also be forces for inspiration and creative depth.
Sad that Warlock (real name: Philip Hazeltine) died young by suicide. 😞
My Christmas has been perfect with VOCES8 taking me on this musical trip 👏👏
It's not just the music or the stunning performance but the words.
Agree 100%
I realize tempo is to some extent a matter of taste, but I love this tempo about which some complain - there’s enough time to hear the harmonies and the beautiful voices.
It's a little slower than I prefer, but the singing is exquisite, as always with this ensemble.
Sing the rest of your lives. Keep making beautiful music and I'll do the same. Thank you for what you do, it's perfection
Flawless. Stunningly beautiful. I love you folks. ❤
Was not previously familiar with this song. Love the rich depth of the harmonies. Fantastic as always!
Simply gorgeous
Beautiful- a little slower than I’m used to but why not rinse out that gorgeous harmony. Lush.
Why do I always start to shed tears hearing this? I condemn my tears, but they are still dropping from this old mans cheeks. But maybe I have some sort of an eye disease that makes my tear channels flow over each time I hear this? Who knows?
I weep too. This non christian best Christmas song pictures me at the crable. With some nails and a hammer in my pocket ready to crucify Jesus. Because I do like my sins more than to worship Him who can deliver me from my sins.
Now imagine singing it...
Stunning, as always. I'd like to make a request: I Vow to Thee My Country. Music by Holst. Lyrics by a father who lost his son in the Battle of the Somme. I can only imagine what VOCES8 could do with such a piece.
I second that request
@@stevenfromer3816 Same!
It is a very emotional piece. However, I believe the lyrics were written by Cecil Spring Rice in 1908, and that it was the writer's brother Gerald who died in 1916.
💎
Beyond conceivable. Beauty & performance.
My husband's favorite hymn
It seems my soul is wandering in shining Tokyo full of Christmas atmosphere and colorful illuminations
Wonderful! Happy New Year 2023 to VOCES8!
Vielen Dank so schön ❣️
Thank you for this enchanting performance - truly beautiful. Happy New Year to you all.
Fabulous performance of one of my favourites.
Stunning. Absolutely stunning rendition of one of my favourite carols. No there's just something in my eye...
Love this piece ... Great performance! Molly's eyebrows are so expressive ... Love ALL you guys ... Thank you ...
Sublime! 💖
Spectacular
I've sung this myself and wish it were better known. Your performance gave me chills, in the best possible way.
I'm eagerly looking forward to your concert on the 19th of January at the Philharmonie at Berlin !
Stunning!
Really beautiful! Thank you.😀
One word - Wonderful!
Thanks for introducing us to this beautiful 100-plus year old English carol.
A bit slow, but perfectly sung as always. Happy memories for me of singing this with the New Sussex Singers. Thank you!
Just play it at 1.25 speed (and of course 2.160 Quality) and see if you like it better! It's GORGEOUS both ways!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Beautiful but slightly haunting melody lines. Thanks
Thank you for your amazing voices, beautifully and stunningly sung, wish you would come and sing for the Brandenburg Choral Festival of London, Happy Christmas and a great New Year
grande WARLOCK que bien me cae!!
Perfect.
Discovered this piece when singing Warlock's Benedicamus Domino. Beautifully done as usual. Love the tempo. See you all in the Spring in Colorado!
Fabulous.
A beautiful song made the more poignant by the memory of singing it myself (tenor) something like 45 years ago. Don't think I sounded anything like as good as either Euan or Blake.
Le cœur n'a pas de rides ! Belle fin d'année à vous !
@@Lardenoy True, le coeur n'a pas de rides.

Beautiful
Very nice. I have been binging on Voces8 over Christmas. Hoping to get a ticket for Madrid in May.
Дякую! Молодці!
Wonderful as always!
wow

...truly exquisite and refined, marred only by some of the distracting, affected , mannerisms of a few of the singers but that' s only a mild observation, VOCES8 is doing the finest work out there today...)))
Really. Just close your criticizing eyes and listen harder. It will take you further.
@@12B4Christ Er . . . It's a video. And as you can see (sic), there's nothing wrong with RR's listening.
I don't want to get lynched, so I'll just say how refreshing your comment on the (indeed distracting) gurning is: no names, no pack drill, but at least it's less so now. The singing, naturally, a marvel.
@@12B4Christ Really? I was responding to the video presentation, the visual component...you clearly didn't comprehend the remainder of my comment....next time think before you write.
@@robertrosen3969 "...marred only by some of the distracting, affected, mannerisms of a few of the singers".
Those are your words, your bizarre unwanted, unnecessary misplaced taint because you just can't help yourself. Tell us all, why you were compelled to use ANY of the quoted words in your twisted compliment to Voces8?
You know what...dont bother. We already know.
You can be certain I'm aware of my own comments.
👌👌✌️
Day 205 of asking Voces8 to sing Geistliches Lied, Op. 30 by Brahms
Seconded, sir! Perfect fit.
They should give the "Wexford Carol" a try.
They have, recently, in an arrangement by Timothy Noon, Molly's father. As beautiful as you might expect.

More Warlock please

Eis as letras em português:
Quando Ele for Rei, dar-lhe-emos os presentes do Rei,
Mirra pela sua doçura, e ouro por uma coroa,
"Belas vestes", disse a jovem rapariga a José
Loura com o seu primogénito em Belém Baixo.
Belém Baixo está cheia da luz das estrelas
Ventos para as especiarias, e estrelas para o ouro,
Maria para dormir, e para a música de embalar
Canções de um pastor por Belém.
Quando Ele for Rei, irão vesti-Lo em folhas de sepultura,
Mirra para o embalsamamento, e madeira para uma coroa,
Aquele que jaz agora nos braços brancos de Maria
A dormir tão levemente em Bethlehem Down.
Aqui Ele tem paz e pouco tempo para sonhar,
Bois de cerco para o manter afastado do frio,
Maria pelo amor, e pela música de embalar
Canções de um pastor por Belém.

The best ensemble of many very, very good ensembles. Christmas is still alive until today, and my Christmas song was released on UA-cam only yesterday due to a mistake whoever/whatever caused it when releasing it shortly before Christmas. 😢 And as the 3 kings are mentioned in the 3rd verse of the lyrics, the world can listen to it even today, if listeners find it:

Maybe it's the unfortunate acoustic but I should love to hear the words more - it's a bit of a mush.
Please, "Beth-le-hem" not "Beth-lee-hem". Otherwise outstanding.
Let’s do “rule Britannia”.
