One of the things I love best about the KS is that every one of them has a potential virtuoso voice, yet they all use their instruments to combine in a true ensemble, blending and creating a GROUP work. Brilliant.

I LOVE this song can't stop watching it. The prevalence of KS fans indicated by the number of comments below inspires me to add this: My grandfather was headmaster of King's College School at the time when the KS were formed. He tells the following story. The choir were on a boat touring somewhere (possibly Norway or Sweden?). One of the little boys in the choir went up to the captain of the ship and said, "Did you know you have a world famous choir on board? And if you let me steer the ship for the afternoon, a selection of them will sing for your passengers over dinner tonight". So the captain let him steer the ship, and at the end of the afternoon he went to David Willcocks (then choirmaster, and a great friend of my grandfather), and told him that he'd promised a concert. So apparently a few of the men got together and that's how the group started. :-)

@MtnSiren89 The King's Singer's concert took place in Cadogan Hall, Chelsea (a suburb of London). It was originally was the First Church of Christ (Scientist) but was converted into a 900 seat concert hall in 2001. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (which is the closest thing to Britain's national orchestra) performs almost all of their concerts here.

Oh my god, I'm a huge fan of Glee and I just came across this and I have now realized that Glee completely took their arrangement for Blackbird from this song. Either that, or it's an epic coincidence. But the universe is rarely that lazy.
@icguy
9 жыл бұрын
i have a third explanation. This arrangement is almost unavoidable. The guitar part can be cut into 3 parts: the one which stays the same all song, the bass, and an upper part singing the 10ths (3rds) from the bass. It is almost impossible to arrange this some other way, and is certainly much harder to sing and won't sound any better. I dont really know glee and maybe they ripped this off, i dont know nor care, but this is another possibility.
@MrJVictor88

Actually this arrangement and the Glee's arrangement is based on the Trio Esperança's vocal version. They were the ones who came up with this whole idea but they are not famous. I am not making this up this is a fact and I am not too sure if you will be able to find any information on the Trio Esperança online. Take care
