This is my favorite Christmas song, and my most favorite arrangement. This Choir and orchestra did a spectacular rendition! My little family of singers, there are 6 of us, but one was on a mission, we were privileged to sing a modified version of Dan Forrest's beautiful interpretation in Church, years ago. It is one of my most favorite memories. Moves me to tears every time. The sweet, little baby, our King, born to us. Merry Christmas to all!
A community choir here in Northwest Montana of my greater involvement in the recent past has put this in their concert repertoire for Fall 2024. I was looking for demo recordings and happened to find this one! Gee, that this been 16-20 years earlier, I would be one of the choristers on that stage, participating in then C-N College choirs for 4 years, then a year of Knoxville Choral Society, all under "Doc"! Sounds lovely!! During my years, we didn't get to perform in the TN Theater but instead in the Bijou, just across the street and down a few blocks. But I did have an office as a summer temp in 1996 "caddy-corner" from the TN theater 3 floors up facing the TN theater and feeling pretty special about it! Missing Knoxville for sure!!
I sang this in a choir last year. I love listening to it now, but it makes me so sad because choirs can't safely sing together anymore. Here's to hoping we can sing this together next Christmas.
it’s two years later! i’m in a high choir class for my highschool. as a senior, i’m so happy i get to sing this song and safely at that. this is the best opportunity i’ve been given. cheers to being (mostly) mask free!!!
wonderful rendition,, btw just notice one of the choir member on a wheel-chair,, heart mealted,, GBU All,, PTL,,
This was such a pleasure to sing with this group and Dan Forrest. I'm in the back row, just left of center with the dark hair....it's not so dark anymore
You a tall chorister brotha lol? I'm always in the back cause im tall..
Always the best!
Absolutely beautiful performance! Glory to Jesus Christ who is King now and forever more!
My community chorus sang this and O Come All Ye Faithful last weekend. We have also sung his Requiem for the Living. Dan Forrest is a phenomenal composer.
Excellent arrangement and performance. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas!

Never liked this song until I heard it from a choir and orchestra at St. Paul cathedral on Christmas Day in 2017. Beautiful song.
I’m just starting to learn this in a choir I’ve just joined. It sounds beautiful and is definitely challenging.

I know this arrangement, and the tenor part, by heart, and still, I have to struggle to hear the tenors.
My vocal coach said to me that the tenor line of pretty much any piece is the hardest to pick out. 😅 I feel it.
Is this the same as your arrangement of Festival First Nowell? It is beautiful and our choir is attempting to do this as part of Christmas program this year.
Hear Dan Forrest and I talk about this and others of his works on the podcast Moveable Do - anchor.fm/steve-danielson/episodes/Dan-Forrest-emiov3
Hi
Greetings!
Could someone please send me the pdf of this arrangement? I would like it so much. Thank you!
(Please don't share PDFs of copyrighted music- that robs the the composer and publisher of the money they need to stay in business and keep producing more music, and is illegal. :) But we would encourage you to purchase the PDF at beckenhorstpress.com/the-first-noel-dan-forrest-satb-digital-download/. Glad you like the piece!
