The King's Singers is a British mainly a cappella vocal ensemble who celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2008. Their name recalls King's College in Cambridge, England, where the group was formed by six choral scholars in 1968. In the United Kingdom, their popularity peaked in the 1970s and early 1980s. Thereafter they began to reach a wider international audience, appearing frequently on the Johnny Carson show in the U.S. In February 2009 their CD, Simple Gifts, won a Grammy Award for Best Classical Crossover Album.
Today the ensemble travels worldwide for its performances, appearing in around 125 concerts each year, mostly in Europe, the U.S. and the Far East, having recently added the People's Republic of China to their list of touring territories. Recent UK performances have included 40th anniversary concerts at the Cadogan Hall, London, on April 30, 2008, and the following day in the chapel of King's College Cambridge, several appearances in the Albert Hall Proms, and a concert for the Three Choirs Festival.

  • @wenglishsal ... Oops that should have read ... 'Ahh' ... then sorry. *sheepish grin * :0)x

  • @Chaosdude7111 Qhh ... Now you have explained it, I can 'see it'... Still absolutely wonderful *sighs*

    Best regards from Wales ... :0)x

  • @wenglishsal I think it's because this piece is in three parts, so David and Tim sing together, Stephen and Chris sing together, and Paul and Phillip sing together.

  • @choirboyfromhell1 : Wells, U.K. ? Coping ? Still haven't come to terms with this. Spring is here calendar-wise, but it is wet ; wet ; wet ! most days. Got very wet today doing casual gardening ! David.

  • @3NUNS Very, very well. Just booked our cathedral choir at Wells next summer. Life is good. How are you coping? Should be spring down under....

  • @choirboyfromhell1 : How are you going my friend. David from Australia !

  • gorgeous!

    where are the in-church-clips from, please?

  • This song is on the King's Singers' ep "From the Heart". Sheet music is also available, apparently.

  • @choirboyfromhell1 hi. I am!

  • Who is the composer?
