The Mainz Cathedral Choir is a boys - and men's choir, which in 1866 by the Bishop of Mainz, Wilhelm Emmanuel von Ketteler was founded.

Consisting of about 160 singers, the main task of the choir is the support and participation of worship.  Progress in three samples per week at the Dom, nasal streets, held in a modern house choir.

Every year a small group of young singers is newly formed to participate in the musical work of the cathedral choir.  After two weekly rehearsals in which basic knowledge is imparted, the introduction takes place in the main choir, where the wide repertoire, partly consisting of works by Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Bruckner, is learned.

"Es ist ein Ros entsprungen" ("A rose has sprung up"), most commonly translated to English as "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming" or "A Spotless Rose", is a Christmas carol and Marian Hymn of German origin.

The text is thought to be penned by an anonymous author, and the piece first appeared in print in the late 16th century. The hymn has been used by both Catholics and Protestants, with the focus of the song being Mary or Jesus, respectively. In addition, there have been numerous versions of the hymn, with varying texts and lengths.

The tune most familiar today appears in the Speyer Hymnal (printed in Cologne in 1599), and the familiar harmonization was written by German composer Michael Praetorius in 1609.

The English translation "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming" was written by Theodore Baker in 1894. A translation of the first two verses of the hymn as "A Spotless Rose" was written by Catherine Winkworth and this was set as a SATB anthem by Herbert Howells in 1919 and Philip Ledger in 2002.

Another Christmas hymn, "A Great and Mighty Wonder," is set to the same tune as this carol and may sometimes be confused with it. It is, however, a hymn by St. Germanus, (Μέγα καὶ παράδοξον θαῦμα), translated from Greek to English by John M. Neale in 1862. Versions of the German lyrics have been mixed with Neale's translation of a Greek hymn in subsequent versions such as Percy Dearmer's version in the 1931 Songs of Praise collection.

Okay, seriously now; I'm not being silly.

I had to listen to this about six or eight times to grasp it all; there's always blank spots, white spaces, in the "hearing."

Now that I've managed to hear the whole thing, this sounds suspiciously like "Britannia Rules the Waves."

I really didn't see that the first five or seven times I "listened" to it.

My favs are instrumentals.

Anything from the Nutcracker and from Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

If I had to pick one with lyrics, it would be O' Holy Night.

"O Holy Night" ("Cantique de Noël") is a well-known Christmas carol composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847 to the French poem "Minuit, chrétiens" (Midnight, Christians) by a wine merchant and poet, Placide Cappeau (1808–1877).

In Roquemaure at the end of the year 1843, the church organ was recently renovated. To celebrate the event, the parish priest asked Cappeau, native from this town, to write a Christmas poem. Cappeau did it, although being a professed anticlerical and atheist.

Soon after, Adam wrote the music. The song was premiered in Roquemaure in 1847 by the opera singer Emily Laurey.

Unitarian minister John Sullivan Dwight, editor of Dwight's Journal of Music, created a singing edition based on Cappeau's French text in 1855. In both the French original and in the two familiar English versions of the carol, the text reflects on the birth of Jesus and of humanity's redemption.

Quote
On December 24, 1906, Reginald Fessenden, a Canadian inventor, broadcast the first AM radio program, which started with a phonograph record of Handel's aria "Ombra mai fu" followed by Fessenden playing "O Holy Night" on the violin and singing the final verse. As such, the carol was the second piece of music to be broadcast on radio.

"Thine Be the Glory, Risen Conquering Son" (French: À toi la gloire O Ressuscité), also titled Thine Is the Glory, is an Easter Christian hymn, written by the Swiss writer Edmond Budry (1854–1932) and set to the tune of the chorus "See, the Conqu'ring hero comes" from Handel's oratorio Judas Maccabaeus.

Quote
The tune of "Thine Be the Glory" was written by Handel in 1747, intended for use in Handel's Joshua oratorio; however, when it was played, it was popular enough that Handel added it to Judas Maccabaeus. In 1796, Ludwig Van Beethoven composed twelve variations on it for both piano and cello.

Quote
The hymn is often used in church services involving the British Royal Family in Easter services. It was also played during a service of thanksgiving in commemoration of Queen Elizabeth II's 80th birthday. The hymn is also used during funerals and is listed in the Church of England's funeral services hymn book.

No mention of "Rule Britannia" in the music.

Am I wrong?  Did I "hear" something that isn't really there?
