A Cappella '12 Days Of Christmas' From Pentatonix
Pentatonix rings in the Christmas season with the beloved words of ’12 Days Of Christmas.’ And this a cappella performance will have you singing along in no time.
The origins of this Christmas classic can be traced all the way back to 1780, but it wasn’t until 1909 that English composer Frederic Austin gave us the arrangement we all know and love today. And it all starts with that iconic first verse.
“On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree”
Today, Pentatonix is putting their own spin on this holiday countdown with an a cappella rendition of ‘12 Days of Christmas.’
This talented group formed in 2011, but they truly shot to fame after winning the third season of the television show ‘The Sing Off.’ Since that moment, Pentatonix has become a household name with viral performances such as ‘Mary Did You Know’ and ‘Hallelujah.’ On YouTube alone, Pentatonix has garnered over 4 billion views on their videos.
Now, they are spreading Christmas cheer with this upbeat performance that has us all joining in.
“On the fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Four calling birds
Three french hens
Two turtle doves, and
A partridge in a pear tree”
As you listen to these words, be reminded that the greatest of gift all came when God sent His only Son down to Earth to die for our sins. Jesus is the real reason for the season.
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” – James 1:17
