This Is The Day - Westminster Abbey Choir and the Choristers of the Chapel Royal

Музыка

The Choir of Westminster Abbey and the Choristers of the Chapel Royal sing John Rutter's beautiful newly commisioned anthem This Is The Day at the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The anthem was specially commisioned for the wedding by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. The words consist of verses from Psalms 118, 148, 91, 121 and 27.
This Is The Day
This is the day that the Lord has made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
O praise the Lord of heaven
praise him in the height.
Praise him, all ye angels of his
praise him, all his host.
Praise him, sun and moon
praise him, all ye stars and light
Let them praise the Name of the Lord
For he shall give his angels charge over thee
to keep thee in all thy ways
The Lord himself is thy keeper
the Lord is thy defence upon thy right hand;
So that the sun shall not burn thee by day
neither the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil
yea, it is even he that shall keep thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in
from this time forth for evermore.
He shall defend thee under his wings.
Be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart; and put thou thy trust in the Lord

    The way it was performed in the video is not the way I've heard it sung in a Southern Baptist Church before! The way you wrote out the lyrics is probably the more upbeat version I heard in the deep south! Both ways are nice!

    I wouldn't say I'm an atheist I definitely believe in God but I generally avoid organized religion and even I find this moving and just bursting with positive happiness. I view cathedrals as a glass maker and sometimes stone block dresser. For me it's the history and archaeology of the building. In this case one purpose built for just these sorts of Royal affairs, although the buildings residents were Catholic at the time lol. I never thought to stop and watch a modern one but this popped up and I'm really glad I did

That is a load of crap that you are saying about any branches of Angilcanism. We are talking here about a great choir and their brilliant choir singing. I was in an Anglican church cathedral choir for 60 years and I know a little about performances and how great they are.
