I was brought up on this as performed back in the 1960s by the Royal Choral Society , conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent. It was performed in the Royal Albert Hall in London...it was part of Christmas.  We sang this every year at my boarding school in 1960's.

I recorded this on 17th December 2011 in my music studio and all the vocals are mine, multi tracked with my Yamaha Tyros 4 and mixed on Logic.
