Simply beautiful. I've heard several different arrangements of this piece (mostly SATB), this is the first I've heard for an all-male ensemble. Great, full sound. Kudos to the countertenors...
who is the composer of this piece? and if this is an arrangement of the original who is the arranger?! it is impossible to rate something that can not be compared...
The choir of King's College, Cambridge (England) is one of the finest church choirs anywhere in the world. They sing to this standard every day. These six guys are typical of the sort of countertenors, tenors, baritones and basses that make up the choir of King's. They also teach boys aged 8 - 13 how to sing reliably at this level. It's quite a miracle place! Thanks for posting this video - it is really sublime.
actually, all but one of them were from king's college. but you would be right in saying that they named themselves after king's college in cambridge, england.
In fact, only the tall countertenor (2nd from left) was ever at King's Cambridge. The other five are the cream of professional church/cathedral choirs in the UK.

It's awesome and beautiful. I wish I had the same quality in my voice, such as the bass solist...
