Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 - 1958): Fantasia on Christmas Carols (1912) Part 2 of 2 The video shows the Monteverdi Choir Wrzburg and the Mainphilharmonie Wrzburg with their conductor Matthias Beckert at the Christmas concert on December 14, 2008 in the Neubaukirche Wrzburg, Germany. Choir und Baritone: On Christmas night all Christians sing To hear the news the angels bring. News of great joy, news of great mirth, News of our merciful Kings birth. When sin departs before thy grace, Then life and health come in its place. Angels and men with joy may sing. All for to see the new-born King. God bless the ruler of this house And long on may he reign, Many happy Christmases He live to see again. God bless our generation, who live both far and near, And we wish them a happy, a happy New Year. From out of darkness we have light Which makes the angels sing this night. Glory to God and peace to men. Both now and evermore, Amen. O we wish you a happy, A happy New Year, Both now and evermore. Amen.
