The King's Singers - Christmas (HD 1080p)



This is the best of music.  The King's Singers is a group from England.  They have a way of making every song unique.  In this C.D. they sing  familiar songs, as well as those not familiar.  They make them all their own.  They sing in several different languages.  They sing very high, and they sing low.  I love this music.  They make precise harmonies.  The cords often resonate within me with pleasure.  This group is generally a sextet.  However at least one song they conquer with a quartet.  They have a really high tenor.  His style of singing is very enjoyable.  There is a baritone and 2nd tenor who often take solos and do a terrific job.  "Rise Up Shepherd and Follow" is very well done.  the slid note at the end to resolve the cord is splendid.  'There Is a Flower" is also very nice.  Noel Nouvelet has both tenors and basses taking turns at percussion type sounds.  Their German "Silent Night" is beautiful.

Music Review: ***The King's Singers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCWCAfbgMvI

Caught a concert of the King's Singers on BYUTV.  I had never heard of them before.  They're a very good a capella group with bass, 2  baritones, 2 tenors and I high tenor.  Occasionally the bass does percussion.  I was so impressed with their "Tis a Gift to be Free" that I have included a link to a Christmas version of the song.  As for the concert, I enjoyed most of it.  There was a song they did with a BYU chorus which was just too much something for me, but the concert had humor, and great harmony.
