my favorite part of this song is at about 1:13 when stephen starts that section, and he has the little bounce in the phrase. it's just so... so yum. that's the only way i know how to describe it. my lord...
@kingssingersgirl I would have to say that "If Ye Love Me" is my favorite. So peaceful and stunning. I'm amazed every time I listen to it. Second would be "O Lord, Make Thy Servant". How about you??
@eltrompo83 i have no idea! can i count the album as one song and say that the album itself is my favorite song on the album lol? yes, i'm going to be complicated. but only because when you have 45+ KS albums, its kind of hard to go back and look at every album and pick a favorite, cuz every song on every album is so special and wonderful that it's just impossible
@kingssingersgirl lol, I like your way of thinking! I'll change my answer to match yours. I'm continually amazed at the good music that they produce. I'm desperately trying to get their CD from '99 "The Triumphs of Oriana". I've heard a couple of selections from that album and I haven't found one I dislike yet! Nice to know there are KS fans as big as I am in the world! ;)
@kingssingersgirl haha, sounds good to me! And you must answer them back as I respond!
1. We used to live in Spain since Dad was in the Navy and I always remember them being in our home (musically that is, not literally...unfortunately). We would always watch our run-down VHS recording of them with Julie Andrews, John Denver and Placido Domingo in their Christmas special. But I've been a fan since I can remember!
@kingssingersgirl lol my apologies! I think the first song I heard them sing was "Es eist ein Ros ensprungen" on their first Christmas CD and I was hooked. I love rock and country music but I am a sucker for old madrigals and music of the like and they knock those songs down perfectly! Everyone always looks at me funny when they are on my playlists with the likes of ZZ Top, Zac Brown, Allman Bros etc. haha. I've also been to about six of their concerts and have been wonderful.
@eltrompo83 oh god, you had to ask me the hard question didnt you? well, "six" has a special place in my heart, because it was my first cd. the song born on a new day is special to me also, for very personal reasons.
@eltrompo83 me too! i just found out yesterday that phil is retiring in february 2012! so next US tour, if phil is on it, i'm going!! well, i wanna go anyway, but you know what i mean!
@kingssingersgirl Wow, I didn't even hear about that!! I know they are coming out at the beginning of the year next year after a brief US stop in Oct.Nov.
@kingssingersgirl I know they are in Salt Lake City at the end of October, followed by a trip to California. I'm not sure how far east they're going to get because they will only be in the states for about a week and a half at best before the close of this year. We might just have to wait till early next year to see them.....boooooo
@kingssingersgirl Here's the email I got from their manager: "Thanks very much for your inquiry. I’m delighted to report that the KS will be touring the US from 25 October – 5 November this year, and we are in the process of confirming dates and details, which should be up on our website shortly. The group will also be in the US from 8 -23 March 2012. Hopefully, you’ll be able to make it to one of those concert as well." Maybe they can head out east for a day???
@eltrompo83 oh my god this sounds awesome! if they do a show in texas and not georgia you should come here! or better yet, we should get a group of diehard fans together and try to make it to the same concert!
@kingssingersgirl You had me at from the beginning! lol, as soon as we find out their US dates we should organize something. That would be a road trip worth doing! You up for a road trip?? lol
@eltrompo83 yay road trip!! do you have a facebook! because we could bring it up on the KS fanpage and get people who would be willing to do it. it would also show the group how many American supporters they have that are willing to roadtrip halfway across the country to see them.
@kingssingersgirl haha great stuff. We will give them the rock star treatment. I do have Facebook! I'm assuming you do as well! I'll message ya my facebook info.
I am from Illinois but would drive to see them. I'm hopeful that they will appear in the Midwest sometime during March.

@haugwi01 No, Tallis Scholars are NOT bad by all means. But for this song, I think King's Singers executed a better rendition ^^
