Her voice reminds me a bit of Annie Haslam of Renaissance.

Hall-ow-ed? That pronunciation is very strange to me.
I wonder if Jesus gets a songwriter ccredit? Maybe heâs waiting at the pearly gates and will ask for his residuals. Living forever means your copyright doesnât expire.

Yeah, thatâs the older way to pronounce âhallowedâ.

If you go back far enough, the -ed ending could be a syllable of itself or attached to the previous syllable, depending on the needs of meter.
In early Middle English the verb was halwe âhal-wÉâ, and the past participle was halwed âhal-wedâ: âĂe almyĘtful halwed Noe and his.â (1350)
In late Middle English it was pronounced hal-o-wed: âthat thei myghte be halowed with that holi body.â (1475).
By Shakespeareâs time âhallowâdâ was an option, and thatâs why you see that spelling for some words, to make it clear that âhallowâdâ was pronounced with two syllables instead of three. In a modern edition or in 19C poetry youâd see the three-syllable pronunciation marked as hallowèd.
So three syllables isnât wrong, just very old fashioned.

thatâs sad. in 1994 i went to see a friend of mine in bloomington, indiana. it just so happened that the university chamber orchestra was doing a performance of two of his works and he was in the audience. i got him to sign my program which is one of my little treasures.
