Stick Time: Singing in English

Ever listen to a choir and wonder what language they were singing only to be shocked to realize they were singing in English?  (Having taught in seven states across all four time zones in the continetal U.S. I’ve faced that more often that I would want.)  Here’s a choir from Norway singing English and frankly using the language better than one has heard at many state music contests.  How would our French sound to a native of France, or our German to a native of Germany?  Have a GREAT Friday!
