The beauty of these Christmas carols will bring you joy and inspiration as the glorious sounds of the season surround you.
Celebrate the wonder of Christ’s birth with these beloved melodies.
This cherished set features two recordings of classic Christmas carols sung by Gloriae Dei Cantores — Sing Noel and Be Merry! It includes Christmas favorites like: “In the Bleak Midwinter,” “Ding Dong! Merrily on High,” “Joy to the World,” “Pat-a-Pan,” “Sleigh Ride,” “Greensleeves,” and other favorites.
Sing Noel with Gloriae Dei Cantores is a musical treat from beginning to end. From “Caroling, Caroling” to “My Dancing Day” and “The Holly and the Ivy” — this colorful set of carols moves seamlessly from one to another—a traditional Christmas experience that will bring you cheer and warm your heart.Â
Be Merry! captures that wonder of Christmas — its joys, mysteries, and sheer delight! Listeners can sing along as the choir shares new arrangements of familiar and beloved Christmas carols like “What Child is This?” and “Deck the Hall” and includes highlights from Gabriel V Brass Ensemble and Gloriae Dei Handbell Choir. Bring joy into your Christmas festivities!

“I adore well-executed choral music for the holidays, and the Gloriae Dei Cantores certainly fills the bill. Sing Noel is an outstanding, no-nonsense, moving release of intensely lovely seasonal music. Every cut works here. I especially enjoyed the crisp a cappella treatment of “Caroling, Caroling” (perhaps the best version I have ever heard), the brassy exuberance of “Ding Dong! Merrily on High,” and the commanding, nuanced delivery of “Masters in This Hall. ” Fans of choral music will thrill to the classic sounds of the Gloriae Dei Cantores on Sing Noel. Bravo!”Â

“The First Noel came and went as did I Wonder as I Wander. . .lush, rich,and—well, was it my imagination or did I see the ghost of Jimmy Stewart, eyes twinkling? “
“Actually there’s a deal of imaginative orchestration here, plenty to interest. . . seventy minutes had passed as in the blinking of an eye. They sing the Sussex Carol with beautiful tone and an eloquent, touchingly uplifting descant.”

“The choral artistry for which Gloriae Dei Cantores has become known can be heard in each selection. The ageless and profound wonder of Christmas comes alive with the singing of each word and the playing of each note.”
