  • @flabbyowl Which choirs in Cambridge would you say are the best?

  • Just beginning to learn this with Todmorden Choral Society,(new members welcome). It's surprisingly easy , with enough to make one think as well. This should be a better known piece, and richly deserves much playing.

  • Those were the days before "hasty" became a byword for Kings interpretations.

  • Beautiful.

  • I live in Cambridge, and I would go as far as to say King's don't make it into the top 5 choirs in Cambridge at the moment. Distinctly rough around the edges, and sadly I can't see it changing in the foreseeable future.

  • @johnstdominic I saw them in concert a few years ago and I figured they were tired and didn't have their favorite accoustical space.

  • Another favourite Carol of mine

  • @1401JSC I agree that King's were mindblowing back in the mid '90s but aren't so good atm (I'm not knowledgeable enough to speculate on why that is, though).

    Where did you sing?

  • Superb

  • Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight,

    Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold,

    Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music,

    Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.

    Here He has peace and a short while for dreaming,

    Close huddled oxen to keep Him from cold,

    Mary for love, and for lullaby music,

    Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.
