Een mooie live-opname van de wereldberoemde King's Singers dit weekend. Zaterdag William Byrd, zondag Benjamin Britten. Muziek van het Duo Mader/Papandreopoulos, de laatste deelnemers aan Dutch Classical Talent dit jaar - die deze week hun tour zouden starten! En de Doorgeef-CD-Van-De-Week, met louter (maar wel opmerkelijke) walsen. Met muziek van Franz Schubert, Béla Bartók, Johann Sebastian Bach, William Bolcom, William Byrd, en Jóhann Jóhannsson.

The King's Singers is a 6-member British vocal group that was established in 1968, before its current members were even born! The a capella ensemble is internationally celebrated for its broad repertory, virtuosity, charming audience connection, and versatility of musical genres. Chris Bruerton and Nick Ashby are the two baritone singers in the group, and they joined Suzanne in the studio to talk about what it's like to carry on the longstanding King's Singers traditions and craft the group's evolution.

Briti vokaalansambel The King's Singers andis 2020. aasta jaanuaris välja uue albumi "Finding Harmony", millele kõlab ka eesti muusika.

The latest album from The King's Singers draws together music from the Protestant Reformation through to the US Civil Rights Movement, and right up until the present day. The uniting theme is that reflected in the album's title – Finding Harmony, where music has given hope in times of oppression and brought people together after tragedy. Editor Martin Cullingford met countertenor Patrick Dunachie and bass Jonathan Howard to discuss this ambitious album, which is available now on Signum Classics.

L'Arpeggiata & King's Singers - "Los Impossibles"

Tom Service meets the acclaimed violinist and conductor Nikolaj Znaider ahead of concerts involving both his violin and his baton with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and his Mozart project with the London Symphony Orchestra. Nikolaj talks to Tom about how to engage young audiences, how Colin Davis taught him everything he knew and, of course, why music matters. Up till now Philip Glass's masterpiece Music in 12 Parts has only been performed by the composer's own Philip Glass Ensemble - but Glass has now given his blessing for a new generation of players to take on the three-and-a-half-hour epic.

Introduction and Welcome - Nothing Do I Bring (Nothing But Thy Blood) - William Broughton Jr Piece played here by The International Staff Band. The Christ Of Calvary - words by Nathan Atkinson Aldersley. Music - Annie Laurie (arr. N Bearcroft) Sung here by the International Staff Songsters on their recording 'The Spirit of the Army' this song is a great favourite amongst Salvationists and I have many fond memories of its association with friends now 'Gone to Glory'. I recall BM Jim Burn of Bedlington Corps singing this as a vocal solo in the open-air, tears streaming down his face, as they did so often when he was moved by the Holy Spirit. It was also the very first cornet solo ever played in public by my good friend Lloyd Bates or Portsmouth Citadel, whilst still a schoolboy at St. Luke's School in the city back in the 1920s. Lloyd played with the band for many years and, when I was Head of Music at the same school he came back for a school concert when well into his 80s and played the same tune again. Special memories indeed. The Hill Of Calvary - Bramwell Coles This 1945 selection was popular for many years although it has become less used in recent years as the songs used in the piece have fallen into disuse. I played this in my earliest days in the senior band at Tunstall Corps and have played it many times since. This beautiful rendition is by the Chalk Farm Band under the baton of Michael Clack. The words of the final song, written by Ruby Knight are:   Down from the rainbow-circled throne To dark Gethsemane My Saviour came, my erring soul from sin to win And died, He died for me.   Despised, rejected, yet He came Reviling not again; He bore for me reproach and poverty and shame The thorns, the spear, the pain.   O Jesus, I can ne'er replay The love Thou hast for me O take my life, my love and all I have to give And let me live for Thee   O Calvary, Calvary Where Jesus died for me. I love the place called Calvary Where Jesus, Jesus died for me.   There is a Green Hill - words by Cecil Francis Alexander. Tune - Horsley One of the most popular Easter hymns of all, sung here by The Sunbury Junior Singers under the direction fo Major Joy Webb. Gethsemane - words by Juno Hollyhock. Music by Marc Harry I wrote a 'Gethsemane Vigil' for the Church of England back in the 1990s with words by Fr Martin Morgan and Juno Hollyhock (YMCA). Over the years it has grown into a full Musical/Song-Cycle and I have performed it many times including in Portsmouth, Southampton and,  last week on Palm Sunday, at Lincoln Citadel. On that occasion, my son Lewis sang this song for the first time. It represents Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane prior to His arrest, asking "Take this cup from me, O Lord," but being obedient to death, knowing it was "the only way" God's will could be fulfilled. Lewis has kindly recorded this version of the song specially for this podcast. A full CD and DVD of 'Gethsemane' is planned for recording and release in 2016. Ave Verum (Love Divine) - Mozart arr. Albert Jakeway Mozart's wonderful music played here by The Household Troops Band (John Mott) I Can Think Of Him - words and music Joy Webb This song has been much discussed during the last week on the Going to the Army Facebook page. First published in the October 1973 edition of 'The Musical Salvationist' and later in Gems 8 it has become a real favourite, albeit, again, another that has become rather forgotten in recent times. I find it a real tragedy that we Salvationists allow this to happen to what is, relatively speaking, new music. If one of the ways God uses GttA is to bring music like this back into popular use I shall be thrilled. This unaccompanied version is by Portsmouth Citadel Songsters. The Old Rugged Cross - Stennard arr. Erik Leidzen This song - of all those associated with The Salvation Army, surely the most requested - is, of course not a SA song at all but one of those we have, most certainly, 'made our own' through the years. This beautiful arrangement by Erik Leidzen is featured here by trombonist Gordon Hill with the International Staff Band from the LP 'Brass Impact' For God So Loved the World - John ch 3. Music by Michael Babb I was privileged to sing at the Royal Albert Hall Songster Leader's Councils Festival back in 1987, fpor which this lovely arrangement was composed as part of a larger, 3 movement piece called 'Words of Eternal Life'. The LP released from that event was, of course, titled 'Going to the Army'. Again, I feel we often overlook this type of piece much too quickly in the Army - to me this is at least as good as the famous setting by John Stainer (from 'The Crucifixion') yet it would be my guess that, for many listeners, this might be the first time they have ever heard it. Shame on us if that is so! When I Survey - words Isaac Watts. Tune by H Pfeil Isaac Watts hymn is used in all Christian churches right through the world and, rightly so, has become one of the most well known hymns in all our liturgy.  This arrangement, sung here once more by Chalk Farm Band, is to a Welsh hymn tune and I was glad to use this for many years with Portsmouth Citadel Band when I was privileged to look after the band singing. Players memorised their parts and we could sing it in the open air without music - and did so, often, to great effect.   To Thy Cross I Come, Lord  - words Frederick Fry  music by Ivor Bosanko This gorgeous setting of words well-known since the earliest days of The Salvation Army was published in 1992 and is sung here by Kaytie Harding who, at the time was a 19-year-old songster in the corps. Kaytie went on to feature for many years as a soloist with the International Staff Songsters and now works as a voice coach and choral director with her own company 'Voice From the Coalshed' in Brighton. She has made a new CD of songs this year with BM Howard Evans on piano, 'Summer Suns' which is available from the website  http://voicefromthecoalshed.co.uk/ Love's Immortal Token - Charles Skinner It was my great privilege as a young teenager to spend a week on holiday with Col. Charles Skinner at one of the Salvation Army's holiday homes - I believe it was in Broadstairs, Kent. Several times he took me, as a keen young SA musician, under his wing that week, making me promise him I'd make the study of harmony a priority - which, of course, I did. Many of his pieces are still used today and this setting of the hymn tune we know as 'Healing Stream' is one of those, although this vintage recording is taken from an old 78 RPM record by the ISB. Before the Cross - words Peter M Cooke. music by Edward Gregson The name of Edward Gregson is very well known indeed in brass band circles, having composed a lot of great music for that movement over the last 40 years - including the most recent Test Piece for the National Finals at the RAH. However, Edwards roots are in the Army, being the son of officer parents and this lovely song was one of his very first published pieces, back in 1965. Rarely played or sung for many years (notleast because the piano accompaniment is in 5 flats!) it was recorded by Portsmouth Songsters in 1995 and has recently been heard a little more due to its use by The King's Singers who have done so much to revive many SA songs through their three 'Choral Essays' CDs (which are, of course, available from SP&S or World of Brass). The vocal soloist in verse 2 was Elizabeth Bird, whose daughter Yvonne was the piano accompanist on the solo by Kaytie Harding we heard earlier. By The Way of The Cross - words and music by Thomas D Ferguson Although not a Salvation Army composition this songs was published by the SA twice - in 1937 and again in 1957 as a male voice arrangement, as we hear here. Sung to great effect for many years by the ISB Male Chorus and recorded by them on a 78 record this version is sung by Hendon Band on a weekend visit to Tunstall in 1977. As a Corps Pianist who can play quite naturally 'by ear' I usually pride myself on being able to accommodate most requests by meeting leaders but I have to admit to struggling recently when a meeting leader wanted to use this but did not know the melody from the 'top tenor part' and, between us, I'm afraid we managed to let the song down! He Took My Place - anon The composer and author of this old gospel song is/are unknown yet it has travelled the world and been used on many occasions to help portray the truth of Jesus' atoning sacrifice. Sung here by W Binns with the Hendon Songsters from a best-selling LP of the 1970s "The Salvation Army By Request" the song comes afresh to us once more. Were You There/I Was There This is a special piece I have made for this podcast using two more old Regal Zonophone 78 RPM records from the 1950s. On one, the ISB Male Chorus sing the familiar old Negro Spiritual and, later, General Albert Orsborn used that record to illustrate his recorded Easter talk. On a 78 record there was only time for a fragment of the original ISB song to be used on the General's record but here, we can hear both - in a fuller version - for the first time.  I, for one, am fascinated to hear the voice of an Army General who was Promoted Glory while I was just a very young boy - yet a man whose songs have meant so much to me right through my life, as they have, of course, to so many Salvationists. Reflections in Nature by Robert Redhead Earlier in April I put together a video in response to a request from a former Salvationist now living in the USA, using Catherine Baird's wonderful song "When Jesus Looked o'er Galilee". I hadn't properly realised that the rest of the Christian Church does not have this gem of a song in their hymnals - the privilege we have in the Army of having songs like this is such a great one, I'm sure we don't always appreciate it! While the song imagines how Jesus may have thought as He gazed over the sea so close to His home and Robert Redhead's beautiful arrangement of Ernst Fewster's tune adds even more to that experience. The piece is played here by the Canadian Staff Band. Even on Good Friday we should never forget:  "But when the winds triumphantly Swept from the open plain The Master surely heard the song: The Lord shall live again!"

Say Leipzig and classical music listeners may think of old, blue-chip institutions like the St. Thomas Boys Choir, the Gewandhaus Orchestra or the Bach-Archiv, which carries on the legacy of the German city’s most famous composer. Most may not think of a young a capella quintet that covers Irish airs and folk songs, jazz tunes and pop hits by Michael Jackson, Sting and Freddie Mercury. But the Leipzig-based Calmus Ensemble has developed such versatility, with a repertoire that also reaches back to composers from Purcell and Bach to Mendelssohn and Debussy. “The pop songs today have the same role as the madrigals centuries ago,” Ludwig Böhme, the ensemble's baritone told host Jeff Spurgeon (listen to the full interview and performance above). Formed in 1999 by six male graduates of the Thomas Church Choir School, the group's personnel shifted early on and the gleaming soprano voice of Anja Lipfert was added in 2001 (the lineup today also includes countertenor Sebastian Krause, tenor Tobias Pöche and bass Joe Roesler). Calmus's members cite the King's Singers as a formative influence, and some critics have drawn (perhaps more unusual) comparisons to mixed-voice a cappella groups like the Swingle Singers. Calmus stopped by the WQXR Café a day after their debut at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to perform a holiday-focused program. They began with "Nova Nova," an ancient song given a modern twist in an arrangement by choral singer and composer Bob Chilcott. The Calmus musicians carry a distinctly German identity and they don't avoid the music of their hometown composers. But baritone Böhme insists that versatility is the group's ultimate calling card. "Our classical background is clear," he said. "When we sing pop arrangements we don't sound like pop singers. Everybody will hear our classical education. We always love the variety. There are many possibilities of where we can sing." The Calmus musicians showed their cheekier side with a performance of "Jingle Bells." In Böhme's arrangement, it is combined with "Suesser die Glocken nie klingen" ("Sweeter the Bells Never Sound"),a German carol from the 1850s.
