Both groups are amazing and totally different. The King's singers use male sopranos and their arrangements use a lot of straight tone. Cantus sings more standard TTBB arrangements and lets the singers open their voices and use vibrato. Completely different sounds equally glorious. I'm sure Chanticleer is also a favorite and displays elements of both groups.
While Cantus is most definitely astounding, check out the King's Singers. I got to see them live when they came to Columbus, OH last November. Let me tell you how good they are. I work for the Ohio State University Athletic Department and I work at the Football games. The KS concert was the same night as the Ohio State vs. Michigan game (I hope for your sake that you know how big that game is) ***THIS IS PART ONE OF MY POST**** the other is part two.
I was working that night and my manager granted my request to leave at half time so I could go back to my dorm, change, and get back to the theatre. I missed one of the most spectacular games in college football history to see the King's Singers. If I had the opportunity to do that every weekend, I would. King's Singers are the initial reason why I got into a cappella music.
I'm so sad everytime I listen to this and miss the initial sancta maria.
nuts!

Simply amazing! I sang this song with a men's chorus in high school but this is an unbelievably beautiful rendition. Thanks for posting!

Nice job. I've performed this piece several times with 2 different groups and it is extremely difficult but rewarding.
