Faraway centuries, on the shores of Estonia there once began a song. in the language of mothers, the spirit of fathers it was carried across to us. in sonorous language, in the spirit of a million it lives on. This song began in a dusky time and was born from the work of voiceless ones. This song was born in a lowly house and it rose as an oath in the night. . A powerless clan began listening, the song was good for the soul, for it spoke a heavenly story, that freedom must come to them. And the powerless clan awoke, and felt the heads on their shoulders. This song will not die, nor this story, this song for us is good. I stepped out to start my voice, ringing on the rocky hillside, lifting up the celebration, cheering up the ring of friends. I know my friend...    ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

It is based on a Czech Furiant (a fast dance with metre shifting between duple and triple time) called "Sedlák, sedlák", which was also sung as a light-hearted and frolicsome song gently poking fun at a corpulent farmer. the words of the carol are by Malcolm Sargent himself. Girls and boys, leave your toys. make no noise, Kneel at His crib and worship Him. At Thy shrine, Child divine, we are Thine, Our Saviour's here. "Hallelujah!" the church bells ring, "Hallelujah!" the angels sing, "Hallelujah!" from ev'rything. All must draw near.

With their Voices as the only musical instrument, Latvian Voices have developed a unique individual vocal style, in which intonations from ethnic music of many nations intertwine.
