Joseph Klug or Johann Sebastian Bach, In dulci jubilo (chorale)

• The group in this recording sings the piece a major third higher than the notated score. Additionally, they sing in English and therefore add a few notes to accommodate the words. However, this is the best recording of this specific arrangement that I've been able to find.
