Artist Note

Over the last few years The King’s Singers have worked closely with SignumRecords to produce a variety of recordings reflecting the wide range of ourrepertoire. We decided to split into two groups of three to come up with contentfor these CDs, under the rather loose and inaccurate titles of Classical and Light.The first CD includes titles from Christmas, our debut album with Signum Records,released in 2004, along with music from Landscape & Time, Treason & Dischord,Gesualdo’s Tenebrae Responsories, Sacred Bridges, Siglo de Oro, Romance du soir, Fromthe Heart, High Flight and our 2012 release Royal Rhymes and Rounds. The secondCD presents songs from four albums: Six, From the Heart, our most recent lightalbum Swimming over London and the GRAMMY® award winning Simple Gifts.If you would like to hear more, all these CDs are available on the Signum Recordslabel, and they include extensive programme notes about the repertoire, which forreasons of tree conservation we are unable to reproduce here.

We hope you will enjoy listening to these two CDs as much as we enjoyedcompiling them.
