NOW AVAILABLE DIGITALLY

"Thou, my love, art fair" - composed by Bob Chilcott for The King's Singers' concert at Orchestra Hall, Minneapolis on St Valentine's Day 2015.

The piece was commissioned by the Minnesota Commissioning Club to honour Jerry and Cathie Fischer, firm friends and supporters of the King's Singers, for a concert in aid of the Park Nicollet Frauenshuh Cancer Centre.

Poem written by C.16th author, William Baldwin, as follows:

"Lo, thou, my love, art fair;
Myself have made thee so:
Yea, thou art fair indeed,
Wherefore thou shalt not need
In beauty to despair;
For I accept thee so,
For fair.

For fair, because thine eyes
Are like the culvers' white,
Whose simpleness in deed
All others do exceed:
Thy judgement wholly lies
In true sense of sprite
Most wise."

This was filmed on 9th June 2015 in St Augustine's Church, Kilburn in London, UK.

I think that this must be my favourite piece of music in the world. Profound thanks Mr. Chilcott. The singers it was written for are so divine. I am absolutely beside myself ecstatic listening to it. God bless these beautiful singers, always.

A friend of mine who introduced this piece to me wrote, A masterclass in blend, legato, phrasing, intonation, sensitivity and musicianship.
Quite beautiful for me too

I had the opportunity to listened and watched them in Mexico many years ago and It was a greatful experience. They were wonderful. Our choir had a masterclass with them and Voz en Punto and It was fantastic. I had photos with them !!!! We love them !!!

Text by William Baldwin, "Christ to His Spouse" (1549)

Lo, thou, my Love, art fair;
Myself have made thee so;
Yea, thou art fair indeed,
Wherefore thou shalt not need
In beauty to despair;
For I accept thee so,
For fair.

For fair, because thine eyes
Are like the culvers' white,
Whose simpleness in deed
All others do exceed:
Thy judgement wholly lies
In true sense of sprite,
Most wise.

My computer has been in shop for over a week. What a wonderful surprise to plug it in and have this beautiful preview right away. There has never been a sound like The King's Singers! Love, love, love these guys!

Gentlemen, the piece is exquisite & the performance is ravishing. Bravo! Hope to see you again soon on this side of the water--in Tryon, NC.

An incredible amount of beauty in just few minutes of music, and you guys are divine 💖

Man, even watching David on his own for the entire song is a masterclass in mic technique, blending, vocal technique, phonation, watching and listening to your colleagues...and that's just 1 out of 6! There are 5 other masterclasses to be had from this performance! Six if you count Bob's writing of the piece!
