Encores: Colour of Song Vol 4

Encores: Colour of Song Vol 4

A collection of funny and entertaining pieces arranged for SATB that we often reserve until the end of concerts.  This is volume 4 in the highly successful "Colour of Song" series, containing 9 laugh-out-loud pieces for you to try.

A selection of some of the group's favourite concert show stoppers. This collection includes many of the most requested King's Singers titles, including Daryl Runswick's arrangement of Rossini's Overture to the Barber of Seville, and Paul Hart's wonderful version of Chanson d'Amour. Other titles include Freddy Mercury's Seaside Rendezvous, The Beetles' Honey Pie and Duke Ellington's Creole Love Call.

  • So, here we are in Finland at one of Europe's many summer music festivals. We've already met some of the other groups performing and studying here and it's great to be brought together with so many music-lovers. Last night's church concert in Vaasa was packed, and today we travel out of town to repeat the programme for a new audience, before returning home tomorrow. One plea though: if you're ever at a live concert, please don't film it. There were a lot of people filming last night, and not only was it distracting for us but it's also incredibly disrespectful to any performer. How about just watching, listening and enjoying the experience? read
  • Great to see so many young musicians at our concert in Canterbury last night; Christ Church is clearly a hotbed of talent! Rest day today for us, then off to Finland tomorrow for the weekend's concerts at the Vaasa Festival, where we've been regular guests for a few years. More Royal Rhymes and Rounds! read
  • Catch us singing some wonderful contemporary classical music tomorrow in Canterbury! John McCabe's "Scenes in America Deserta," Paul Patterson's "Timepiece" and Sir Peter Maxwell Davies' "Sea Runes," all written for the KS. Plus, the second performance of our humorous look at the monarchs of Britain, Paul Drayton's "Brief Guide to the Royal Succession," which should have you rolling in the aisles! read
  • It's been a quiet few days.... we travelled to Germany on Thursday and sang in Rheydt (after an absence of 8 years), premiering another new programme of Gesualdo, Poulenc and Britten in anticipation of their anniversary year in 2013. This programme will see quite a few more outings and combines some old KS favourites (Gesualso's Tenebrae Responsories, Poulenc's Quatre Petite Prieres) with some new repertoire, including Poulenc's beautiful "Vinea Mea Electa" and Gesualdo's extraordinary "O Vos Omnes." From there we enjoyed the punctuality and reliability of Deutsche Bahn to carry us safely down to the south-west, near Saarbrucken, for tonight's Royal Rhymes and Rounds concert. Five of us went running yesterday, in preparation for various races we seem to have got ourselves signed up for - including in January 2013 a charity half-marathon in aid of the KS Foundation! Dragging our aching limbs out of bed was tough this morning, but running through forests during a thunderstorm was certainly an invigorating experience, overall! This group is getting far too fit.... read
