England My England - Choir of King's College, Cambridge
The UK official Classical Artist Chart No.1 best-seller!
There is surely no more quintessentially English sound than that of the Choir of Kings College, Cambridge. Their unaccompanied voices are evocative of immemorial sandstone, of cool cloisters, evensong in church, chapel and cathedral, serene in the music of Shakespeares contemporaries Byrd and Gibbons, ethereal in Deliuss To be sung of a summer night on the water as their voices waft across the banks of the River Cam. No less iconic is the chapel that lends its unique acoustic to that sound. One of the glories of the English perpendicular style of architecture, the Chapel of Kings College, Cambridge was completed in 1547, a little over a century after the founding, by Henry VI, of Kings College itself. England, My England opens and closes with coronation music: Zadok the Priest, written by Handel for the crowning of King George II in 1727 and I was glad, composed by Parry in 1902 for that of King Edward VII. Both were so successful that they have been sung at every coronation since. Parrys processional anthem is heard here in its full panoply of extra brass and shouted Vivats, the choir providing the semi-chorus in the exquisite interlude O pray for the peace of Jerusalem. In between are motets both ancient and modern from the miniature If ye love me and the architectural splendour of the 40-part Spem in alium to William Harriss dramatic double-choir setting of Spensers Faire is the Heaven; well-known psalms sung to Anglican chant stand side-by-side with favourite hymns, notably All people that on earth do dwell, arranged by Vaughan Williams for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. As well as national rejoicing there is solemn remembrance. Come ye sons of art away is Purcells 1694 birthday ode for Queen Mary; Thou knowest, Lord part of the music he wrote for her funeral just nine months later; John Irelands Greater love hath no man is often heard on Remembrance Sunday; Sir John Taveners Song for Athene made a powerful impression at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, while John Rutters small-scale, personal Requiem touched a wider public following the attacks of 11 September 2001. But Nimrod above all epitomises music of national remembrance. Here a choral setting of Nimrod, Lux aeterna, represents Englands Shakespeare of music, Edward Elgar.

Cambridge - King's College
King's College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England. Formally The King's College of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas in Cambridge, the college lies beside the River Cam and faces out onto King's Parade in the centre of the city.
King's was founded in 1441 by Henry VI, soon after he had founded its sister college in Eton. However, the King's plans for the college were disrupted by the Wars of the Roses and resultant scarcity of funds, and his eventual deposition. Little progress was made on the project until in 1508 Henry VII began to take an interest in the college, most likely as a political move to legitimise his new position. The building of the college's chapel, begun in 1446, was finally finished in 1544 during the reign of Henry VIII.
King's College Chapel is regarded as one of the greatest examples of late Gothic English architecture. It has the world's largest fan-vault, and the chapel's stained-glass windows and wooden chancel screen are considered some of the finest from their era. The building is seen as emblematic of Cambridge.[2] The chapel's choir, composed of male students at King's and choristers from the nearby King's College School, is one of the most accomplished and renowned in the world. Every year on Christmas Eve the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols (a service devised specifically for King's by college dean Eric Milner-White) is broadcast from the chapel to millions of listeners worldwide.

Share the magic of the world's most famous choir through a special year of music, in the centenary year of the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from King's. With exclusive access to King's musical performances throughout 2018 and to their preparations for Christmas, discover what makes this one of the best choirs in the world.
A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols began 100 years ago at the end of WW1 and remains an unbroken tradition at King's. It was one of the earliest BBC radio outside broadcasts and has become central to Christmas celebrations. The programme discovers what draws people to this service, and travels across the world for a chance to join the choir in the beautiful King's Chapel.
Taking us with them are boy choristers who attend King's College School, including Jack and Vladimir, and choral scholars Joe and James.
Along the way, we talk to former members of the choir, like 101-year-old David Briggs who sang in the first radio broadcast. The programme is introduced to Master of the Queen's Music, Judith Weir, whose new piece, O Mercy Divine, will be premiered at this year's service, and the people behind the scenes who help make this choir outstanding.
This year will be the final Christmas with the choir for Director of Music Stephen Cleobury, who is stepping down after 36 years.
