Beautiful Man!! Gorgeous vocals!!!! Really loved this.
Great production!
Thanks David, I do appreciate your comments. By the way you are doing a great job on the Beginners Forum. I just don't know how you have time?!! Also watched some of your beginner Classical Guitar YT vids which were excellent. This is lovely. Very lush background. Superb vocals and fine mix.
Did you write the vocal harmony arrangement?
For anyone wondering, the song is in public domain. Thanks a lot Matt. I find BIAB excellent for this kind of music. I also used it recently for a Taizé recital and it was great. The harmony arrangement for the "Rejoice" section was really just "singing the chords" in different registers so D, Bm7, Am7, Bm7, CMaj7, Em, Cmaj7, Am7, Bm7, Em. Loved your Holiday Bell Waltz (2017 version) by the way. I see that you have posted the previous version which I am now going to check out! Thanks again, Jez

Jez. This is just lovely. You really have got something going on with those layered vocals. Sounds like a whole choir!

Jez,
This is GORGEOUS!
The opening truly makes one "stand up and take notice". The vocal is beautiful. The strings perfectly woven in. The harmonies gave me chills (the good kind).
A stunning mix. Top-shelf sound (even out of computer speakers!).
One of the most impressive offerings on here in quite some time - that is saying a lot! You need to do an entire Christmas CD and sell 'em!!!
A big WOW.

I agree with Floyd! This is an amazing quality production!! Harmonies are incredible! Take care. Greg

Hi Receder, Wonderful work with the vocal on this! Very ethereal and spectral! - I will definitely be taking a page out of your production book for my own creations. Keep up the great work! Many Thanks Joe, I'm really glad that you enjoyed it. It's always good to get feedback from the makers of our wonderful songwriting tool  Jez,
+ 1 to all the kudos above; close my eyes and I`m in a cathedral!
I especially enjoyed your choral approach to the vocals giving equal weight to each word. Beautiful production in every way.
Robert Cheers Robert, that's exactly what I was aiming for Trying to record this really made me appreciate how good the professional choristers are! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for listening. All the best, Jez

Man.... this is gorgeous! We hadn't heard this traditional before, but we got such a feeling that this version is better As always the voices are beautifully and professionally arranged, your signature sound. What else can we say, beautiful, beautiful! Rob and Anne-Marie Wow! Thank you both so much. It's great to get positive feedback from such professionals. Loving your songs lately too. Thanks again, Jez

The accolades were grabbed quickly. Hard to add to the above so at the risk of redundancy... The entire production is simply gorgeous. Lush, lush, and more lush. I'm sure a significant amount of effort went into the arrangement and production and it paid off...big time. Everything is standout and the vocals are standout amongst the standout Congrats on a wonderful production! J&B

Jez, this was absolutely fantastic! This traditional work couldn't have been done any better in my opinion. The vocals were beautiful! Great job! Torrey Hey thanks a bunch, Torrey. We are spoilt for choice at this time of year and it was a close call between posting this or In The Bleak Midwinter. Anyway, thanks for the thumbs up on this one Hauntingly beautiful... One of my favorite carols, and so well done! Thank you Curt. I always worry about ruining a song when it's someone's favorite. I'm pleased you liked my version. Cheers Jez

Very, very good! The vocals are just fabulous, what a sound! Thanks for the detailed description of how you achieved that too, I have taken notes! Thanks very much Dave. I'm glad you enjoyed it and also found the description useful. Really enjoyed your song "What could I do" Beautifully done in every way! Loved it. Thanks for listening Josie, I really enjoyed your's and Bob's "Santa Stop Here" too. Hello, Jez
Very beautiful Christmas song!
Very pleasant vocals and harmonies.
As Robert said, I also especially enjoyed your choral approach.
Beautiful production in every way.
Strings and Bass – Cello/Strings using Rapture are also very beautiful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment Shigeki. Actually some of your music inspired me to buy some EastWest Orchestral sounds over the Black Friday weekend. They didn't quite make it into this track but I am hoping to use these in some future songs Loved "Young Lovers on Christmas Eve" by the way. Jez,
You deserve all the superb reviews you have received for this.
Stunning.
Peter Much appreciated Peter. I also enjoyed your "Waitresses". All the best, Jez

Jez. This is just lovely. You really have got something going on with those layered vocals. Sounds like a whole choir! Joanne, thanks so much for your generous comments. This was one I really enjoyed putting together. By the way, I had a blast with your instrumental track of Hallelujah on YouTube the other morning! I always wanted to learn it and cannot think of a better way to do it. Jez,

Jez,
flipping heck that is beautiful.
This should be played in shops rather than the overplayed stuff from the 70's and 80's.
You can certainly sing!
I hope you have a good Christmas, up north!
Al the best
Alyn

Alyn Thanks Alyn, glad you enjoyed it. Hope you have a great Christmas too, or should I say "Nadolig Llawen" (no idea how to pronounce it though :-) I enjoyed your Christmas song immensely but was sorry to read about your recent losses so I hope things improve for you in 2017. Cheers, Jez
