Simply beautiful. Takes me back to England, my birth place. My family left England in December 1965 to live in America. We sailed on the Cunard Franconia and celebrated Christmas on board the ship with English crackers and paper hats After docking in NY Harbor, we took a bus to my my great aunt's in the Norfolk, VA area. While I was only 5 years-old at the time, I remember all the snow that had fallen there. One of my fondest memories is being woken up by my parents on board that ship, so that I could see Lady Liberty in all her glory. Both my parents served in World War II. My father had trained as a pilot/navigator for the British RAF in Winnepeg, Canada. He flew training missions which took him over the the Canadian Rockies and parts of North America. Leaving England for America was bittersweet for my parents, but they were embarking on a new, wonderous journey. Both my parents were great music lovers, and these songs remind me of treasured times together. Thank you for putting together this compilation. Blessings and Merry Christmas to everyone!!

There's so much beauty in the world. The English choral traditional is one aspect of that beauty.

A splendid compilation of beautiful carols to celebrate the advent of the one foretold by the prophet Isaiah - " For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulder. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. " He is Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world.

Scotland, Wales and England are the lands of my forefathers; born and raised in the USA. I always longed to visit those lands but at my age perhaps not. 😊 I have loved these beautiful Christmas carols all my life having sung them in various churches and listened to them many times. Thank you for helping me celebrate Christmas in traditional fashion. It is very soothing and inspiring to this senior citizen.

Growing up in Calabar, Nigeria in the 70s and 80s, these were the carols that heralded Yuletide every year. All the big shops and the radio stations played these hymns and everywhere one went there was mistletoe on doors, other holiday decorations and a thin harmattan haze that served as our snow here in hot and balmy Africa. I will never forget those days; and I deeply thank the British who God used to bring these to us to beautify the earliest years of an African child.

As we look for to Christ’s second Advent may we be filled with wonder at the first Advent and the incarnation. Merry Christmas Christians from every tongue, tribe and nation. We are one in Christ.

Merry Christmas MI6.. for keeping us safe.

I am an American of primarily English descent (sir name Browning) and a lifelong Anglophile. Every country has its problems. Populated by humans is couldn’t be otherwise. I believe it is always important to celebrate what is good, teach history and civics so they come alive. Work to change what doesn’t work. Remember like all of us life is a continual learning process. Hopefully humans can learn from

I often get the impression that we in the UK are one of the most disliked and despised nations on Earth. So it's uplifting to read positive posts of love and respect from other countries, particularly the US and Germany. Unfortunately, I've never visited the States but I was in the RAF back in the day and spent a total of five years living in Germany and loved every minute of it. I know it's slightly early but Merry Christmas to you all.

The dislike is conceived through jealousy. We were ‘Great Britain’. Unfortunately I don’t feel I can say we ‘are’ Great Britain. Man (generally) has turned his back on God - and His word & God has turned his back on man

Sometimes it happens, may be out of jealousy, but you are much more appreciated for your strong sense of belonging, your traditions and the way you conceive the unity of the nation. Even these carols show that. Europe has partly lost the idea of Christian God and things cannot work out well. Sometimes they are afraid of showing Christian faith, hoping to get approval from other religions but this doesnt improve society and it isnt true too . Many attitudes should be revised. Merry Christmas

I was a treble choirboy 70 years ago and I love all the carols on this recording.. and more..I especially remember having the privilege of singing the first verse of Once in Royal Davids city as a solo it makes me cry to hear it today..Descant was my forte until my voice broke..to fly above the choir with pure boys voice was more than any joy can bring❤

Good morning evryone.these carols are our favorite since our childhood. thank you sharing.am sri lanka.god bless.

When my father was posted to Germany from Canada, I went to school in England. We’d decorate the school chapel to the nines at Christmas. One hymn that stayed with me was the last one sung on the day we’d break for the term “god be with you til we meet again”. We cranked that one out.

I’ve sung in choirs most of my life and had the privilege to sing all of these, at different times. They are all incredibly beautiful and it would not be Christmas, for me, without them.

I never heard any English Christmas songs until I was about eleven years old in 1958 . While Sheppards Watched Their Flocks By Night. Then in my thirties the Oxford Book Of Christmas Carols. The first mentioned led me here

Oh how beautiful...choir with pipe organ...and that lovely 3rd verse of O, Come All Ye Faithful brought tears to my eyes 💕🎶

I've been listening to theses carols sung by King's College for over 60 years. They were the first clue we had that Christmas was coming when we were small. The descant sung in Once in Royal David's City is still my favourite bit.

I enjoy these carols very much too, as they have a lot of meaning. More importantly is to remember that the reason for the season is Jesus. "... every knee should bow ... and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord." (Philippians 2:10-11, NIV)

I am an Indian and we have Christmas Carol songs in many Indian languages, but I love traditional Western Carol songs more than anything else.

Taken my memory back to my Christmas Carols of my younger days here in a distant land - not great like yours but humble . Whatever it had been, finally, it was Christmas - joy to the world but primarily to us young children. In your case success of Carol depends on choir but in our case singing of we the children. Those days are long gone and everything has been modernised and modified. Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all from Kerala, India.

I'm American but grew up in part in the UK. In grammar school I was a choirboy at what I later learned was a very musically sophisticated Anglican church attached to my school in Westbury Park, Bristol. I learned and sang these carols and still remember the descants for some of them. "Once in Royal David's City" was always a favorite, you don't hear it much in the US. Also, "Away in a Manger" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem" had different melodies in the UK than in the US. I prefer the UK versions.

It's so refreshing to hear the First Nowell with 'Born is the King of Is-RAY-el' In Canada and other north American places they sing 'Is-RYE-el' which absolutely drives me crazy.

It's a "hypercorrection": choir members sing latin texts when the pronunciation is "Is-rah-el" and then wrongly apply it to English texts. Luckily most musical directors are onto it and try to stamp it out in the UK.

England has given us so much and even we, the non-English, can enjoy and share in that heritage. So please don't renounce these traditions and beautiful hymns, poetry and literature in the name of progress. People around the world share in this heritage and it would be such a shame to remove it.

Taking this country away from it's Christian roots is equivalent to destroying it's heritage completely. A way will be found for this country to remain Christian by hook or crook! It cannot be otherwise. Being an Atheist in a Christian country is fine as opposed to say a muslim country.

@@johndonson1603 The UK will never ever become a muslim country. The government woke up unbelievably late to one fundamental fact and action they should have taken long time ago. Restricting benefits supporting children to two children per couple for everyone. One half of that benefits equation hasn't been addressed but it's still a powerful weapon in the governments armoury that they will deploy if they so choose. They have also cut benefits in half for immigrants. All these measures mean immigrants can't use benefits dished out commensurate to the number of children in a family to reproduce recklessly anymore. This was rampant in the not too distant past and watching successive governments studiuosly ignore this issue was mind boggling. Anyone with their head screwed on right would have realised that the government should have done this by the end of the 1970's at the latest. One of the things that was causing the population imbalance was successive UK governments turning a blind eye to this issue for decades on end as if burying their heads in the sand would not make the problem get bigger ... much bigger! The UK exists in Europe. Europe is Christian and does not at all want to become Muslim. The deep heritage of Europe is Christian, and by hook or crook, trust me, Europe and the the UK will always be Christian ...
