Ensemble Singing Collection

Ensemble Singing Collection

A wide variety of repertoire is covered by the pieces in this collection. C.V.Stanford's arrangement of an Irish jig, "Quick! We have but a second" provides a wonderful tongue twisting workout for any choir or vocal ensemble, whilst the rhythmic challenges of Bob Chilcott's version of the US folk song "I bought me a cat" will enliven many rehearsals! This collection is headed by three contrasting renaissance works, and finishes with lively arrangements of the Beatles "Back in the USSR" and Queen's "Seaside Rendezvous", taking in "Humpty Dumpty" on the way.

  • 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
