I just wanted to do a quick post about the choir that I sing in. This is one of the songs that we sang in our Christmas concert. It is also one of my favorites!
The director said that he arranged it so that it starts off with the men singing about the plight of humanity. Then then women join in. Then the women sing as if they were Jesus´ mother Mary. "Come thou rod of Jesse, " singing about the genealogy of the Christ. Then it gets really quiet, "Come thou Dayspring," when Jesus is born. Then it builds up to his mission. There is a big loud crash as the bands of death are broken!
All of us sing at the end as we rejoice!!
If you look hard you can find me in the choir... If you want to know the exact time, look below the video
Starting at 1:59 I am on the left side of the screen about midway up.
Thank you for sharing this. This is such a beautiful number, so moving and magnificent, really without words to describe. Yes, we saw you in the video - so great!
