Very cool. Just had to share this.
These girls are from Sweden, singing a song I would never have called a favourite. Creativity proves me wrong --

- The Stairwell Carollers
are an a cappella Ottawa choir, formed in 1977 by their director
Pierre Massie,
a music graduate
of the University of Ottawa. The choral group has earned the
distinction of being ranked amongst the best of Ottawa choirs by local
choral critics.
Their repertoire encompasses sacred and secular songs from the
Renaissance period.
In the rush of the hectic Yuletide season, the Carollers bring focus to the true meaning of Christmas, with their beautiful and unique interpretations of traditional Christmas carols in many languages.
The release of their first CD Qui creavit celum, celebrated the Stairwell Carollers' 20th anniversary in 1997.
In 2000 they released I Saw a Swete Semly Syght and in 2003 Mourning Dove. Their very first madrigal CD, Audite nova, was released in October of 2006.
Their newest Xmas CD Laudemus cum armonia is now available.
A non-profit organization, they assist in raising funds for local charities through concerts and CD sales.
You are right. This is a very unique treatment indeed. What a treat. Their costumes, the venue and the building of the harmonies including the slide into minor are so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this one indeed.

This is so great Holly! I looked up the rest of their work and was disappointed to find that it is mostly "weird" pop songs - nothing like this. It would be so awesome to hear them do more folk songs!

Perhaps they are like I was -- before Pete I didn't know our kind of music existed!
