@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.
