Library 3 / Various- Library 3 / Various
This is the third volume in the EP series 'The Library' - a series that explores both the history, and the new horizons, of The King's Singers close-harmony repertoire. Close-harmony is the part of their work for which they are best known, and their library of thousands of arrangements is one they're determined to explore, maintain and develop. The track-listing is designed to celebrate some old favorites from the library alongside brand new arrangements and adaptations, created especially for these recordings, which may perhaps become 'old favorites' of the future. The King's Singers were founded on 1 May 1968 by six choral scholars who had recently graduated from King's College Cambridge. Their vocal line-up was (by chance) two countertenors, a tenor, two baritones and a bass, and the group has never wavered from this formation since.
Tracklist:
- Honey Pie (arr. P. Hart for vocal ensemble)
- Songbird (arr. N. Ashby for vocal ensemble)
- Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover (arr. A.P. Jackman for vocal ensemble)
- In the Real Early Morning (arr. P. Dunachie for vocal ensemble)
- Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower) (arr. P. Lawson for vocal ensemble)
- Tale of Tsar Saltan, Op. 57: Flight of the Bumblebee (arr. D. Runswick for vocal ensemble)
