“Pinpoint precision, total rapport, crisp diction, faultless tuning and a seemingly e= ortless ability to switch between di= erent stylistic

requirements.”—! e Times, London

Acclaimed for their life-a> rming virtuosity and irresistible charm, ! e King’s Singers are in global demand. ! eir work—synonymous with the best in vocal ensemble performance—appeals to a vast international audience. ! ey perform over 120 concerts each year, touring regularly to Europe, the United States, Asia and Australasia. ! e King’s Singers are admired for their musical excellence and recognized as consummate entertainers—a class act with a delightfully British sense of humor. ! eir generous spirit and magical ability to move audiences have remained constant since the group’s foundation in 1968.

! e King’s Singers have premiered more than 200 new works, including landmark compositions by Luciano Berio, György Ligeti, James MacMillan, Krzysztof Penderecki, Toru Takemitsu, John Tavener and Eric Whitacre, and commissioned thrilling arrangements of everything from jazz standards to pop chart hits.

! e double Grammy® Award-winning artists were honored in 2009 for their Signum Classics release, Simple Gifts, and again in 2012 for their contribution to Eric Whitacre’s Light & Gold album on Decca. In June 2013, they were chosen as one of only two vocal ensembles to enter the Gramophone Hall of Fame, in recognition of their unique discography of over 150 albums.

Highlights of the group’s 2014–15 season include: two performances in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and a Christmas performance in Washington National Cathedral; a visit to the Grand Philharmonic Hall of St. Petersburg; an invitation to perform at the American Choral Directors Association annual conference in Salt Lake City, where they will give the world premiere of a new work by Jake Heggie; and their second residential Summer School in the UK.

ABOUT THE KING’S SINGERS PROGRAM NOTESDespite being a quintessentially English group, ! e King’s Singers have always enjoyed performing American music, from the close harmonies of ! e Yale Song Book to the wonderful repertoire of spirituals, not forgetting the huge canon of folk songs. Back in the early 1990s, we recorded an album of jazz standards with the English-born, New York-based pianist George Shearing, largely devoted to the songs of George Gershwin and Harold Arlen. In more recent years, we have been inspired by the incredible variety of American music from the middle years of the 20th century. Recent terminology has grouped these songs together as ! e Great American Songbook, and the craftsmanship of the melodies, harmonies and lyrics are indeed the standard by which all other popular songs should be measured. ! is concert program is our homage to this wonderful body of work.

From the 1920s, the emergence of the radio as the common form of in-home entertainment and the growth of the recording industry allowed the big bands of the day to swing right into people’s living rooms, and popular music was never the same again. ! e in? uence of jazz was also strongly felt on the Broadway stage, which was just evolving in New York’s “Melting Pot.” Combining elements of Vaudeville and the Yiddish theatre with the popular jazz rhythms, chords and orchestrations heard on the radio, musical plays were transformed into “the Broadway musical.” ! is became possibly the most universally popular form of live musical entertainment the world has ever known, and it is the source of many of the greatest popular songs ever written.

Classic melodies by such composers as Arlen, Gershwin, Richard Rogers, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter and, later on, Stephen Sondheim and Cy Coleman, among many others, were introduced on Broadway and continue to be much loved around the world. With the rapid growth of the motion picture industry from the 1930s, many of these composers headed west to Hollywood, where their musicals were made into movies, and where they composed music especially for the screen, creating a new genre that has also yielded a wealth of American popular songs through the following decades. ! e classic tunes from this era have stood the test of time, with countless performances and recordings over the next half-century con@ rming their greatness.

In time the Rockies may crumble,Gibraltar may tumble,! ey’re only made of clay,But our love is here to stay.

I’VE GOT THE WORLD ON A STRINGI’ve got the world on a stringSitting on a rainbowGot the string around my @ ngerWhat a world, what a life—I’m in love

I got a song that I singI can make the rain goAny time I move my @ ngerLucky me, can’t you see—I’m in love

Life is a beautiful thingAs long as I hold the stringI’d be a silly so-and-soIf I should ever let it go

IT’S A NEW WORLDHow wonderful that I’m beholding.A never, never land unfolding.Where we polish up the stars...And mountains we move...In a place where all the pleasures we will prove.

It’s a new world I see.A new world for me.! e tears have rolled o= my cheek.And fears fade away every time you speak.

A new world, though we’re in a tiny room.What a vision of joy, and blossom, and bloom.

A new found promise...One that will last.So I’m holding on.And I’m holding fast.

You brought a new world to me.And that it’ll always....Always be.

MY FUNNY VALENTINEMy funny valentine,Sweet, comic valentine,You make me smile with my heart.

You looks are laughable, unphotographable,Yet, you’re my favourite work of art.

Is your @ gure less than Greek?Is your mouth a little bit weak?When you open it to speak, are you smart?

Don’t change a hair for me,Not if you care for me.Stay, little valentine, stay!

Each day is Valentine’s Day.

THE LADY’S A TRAMPShe’s wined and dined on Mulligan stewAnd never wished for turkeyAs she hitched and hiked and grifted, too,From Maine to Albuquerque.Alas, she missed the Beaux Arts Ball,But what is twice as sad,She was never at a partyWhere they honored Noel Ca’ ad.But social circles spin too fast, you see.Her Hobohemia is the place to be.

She gets too hungry for dinner at eightShe likes the theatre, but never comes late,She never bothers with people she hates, ! at’s why the lady is a tramp!She don’t like crapgames with barons and earls,Won’t go to Harlem in ermine ’n’ pearls,She won’t dish the dirt with the rest of those girls,! at’s why the lady is a tramp!She likes the free fresh wind in her hair;Life without care,She’s broke; that’s okay!Hates California, it’s cold and it’s damp,

WHEN I FALL IN LOVEWhen I fall in love it will be foreverBut I’ll never fall in loveIn a restless world like this isLove is ended before it’s begunAnd too many moonlight kisses Seem to cool in the warmth of the sunWhen I give my heart it will be completelyBut I’ll never fall in loveTill the moment that I feel that you feel the same way tooIs when I fall in love with you.

CHEEK TO CHEEKHeaven, I’m in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to @ nd the happiness I seek When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek Heaven, I’m in heaven And the cares that hung around me through the week Seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to climb a mountain And to reach the highest peak But it doesn’t thrill me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to go out @ shing In a river or a creek But I don’t enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek

Dance with me I want my arm about you ! e charm about you Will carry me through to...

Heaven, I’m in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to @ nd the happiness I seek When we’re out together dancing, out together dancing Out together dancing cheek to cheek.

BEYOND THE SEASomewhere beyond the sea,Somewhere, waiting for me,My lover stands on golden sandsAnd watches the ships that go sailing;

Somewhere beyond the sea,She’s there watching for me.If I could ? y like birds on high,! en straight to her arms I’d go sailing.

It’s far beyond a star,It’s near beyond the moon,I know beyond a doubtMy heart will lead me there soon.

We’ll meet beyond the shore,We’ll kiss just as before.Happy we’ll be beyond the sea,And never again I’ll go sailing!

Lost my heart, but what of it? She can laugh but I love it.Although the laugh’s on me,I’ll sing, I’ll bring spring,And I’ll long for the day when I’ll cling to her.Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.

BEGIN THE BEGUINEWhen they begin the beguineIt brings back the sound of music so tender,It brings back a night of tropical splendor,It brings back a mem’ry ever green.I’m with you once more under the stars,And down by the shore an orchestra’s playingAnd even the palms seem to be swayingWhen they begin the beguine.

To live it again is past all endeavour,Except when that tune clutches my heart,And there we are, swearing to love forever,And promising never, never to part.What moments divine, what rapture serene,Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted,And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,I know but too well what they mean;So don’t let them begin the beguine.

Let the love that was once a @ re remain an ember;Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember.

I won’t dance! Don’t ask me;I won’t dance, madame, with you. My heart won’t let my feet do the things they should do! Honestly darling, won’t you dance?You know what? You’re lovely,

And so what? I’m lovely!

But oh! What you do to me! I’m like an ocean wave that’s bumped on the shore; I feel so absolutely stumped on the ? oor!

When you dance you’re charming and you’re gentle! ’Spec’lly when you do the Continental.

But this feeling isn’t purely mental; For heaven rest us, I’m not asbestos. And that’s why I won’t dance! Why should I? I won’t dance! How could I? I won’t dance! Merci beaucoup! I know that music leads the way to romance: So if I hold you in my arms, I won’t dance.

BEWITCHED, BOTHERED AND BEWILDEREDShe’s a fool and don’t I know it? But a fool can have her charms,I’m in love and don’t I show it? Like a babe in arms.

Love’s the same old sad sensation,Lately, I’ve not slept a wink,Since this crazy situationGot me on the blink.

I’m wild again, beguiled again A whimpering, simpering child again.Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.

Couldn’t sleep, wouldn’t sleep,! en love came and told me I shouldn’t sleep.Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.

Let’s be outrageous; let’s misbehave!

When Adam won Eve’s hand,He couldn’t stand for teasin.’He didn’t care about those apples out of season.

! ey say that spring means just one little thing to little lovebirdsWe’re not above birds; let’s misbehave!

If you’d be just so sweet and only meet your fate, dear,It would be the nineteen twenty-eight, dear.

It’s getting late and while I waitMy poor heart aches onWhy keep the brakes on? Let’s misbehave!

I feel quite sure a= aire d’amourWould be attractiveWhile we’re still active, let’s misbehave!

You know my heart is trueAnd you say you for me care...Somebody’s sure to tell,But what the hell do we care?

! ey say that bears have love a= airsAnd even camelsWe’re merely mammals; let’s misbehave!!!

I WON’T DANCE! ink of what you’re losing By constantly refusing to dance with me. You’d be the idol of France with me!

And yet you stand there and shake Your foolish head dramatic’lly. While I wait here so ecstatic’lly You just look and say emphatic’lly Not this season! ! ere’s a reason!

I won’t dance! Don’t ask me;

When they begin the beguine.O yes, let them begin the beguine, make them playTill the stars that were there before return above you,Till you whisper to me once more, “Darling, I love you!” And we suddenly know what heaven we’re in,When they begin the beguine.

I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKINI’ve got you under my skin,I’ve got you deep in the heart of me,So deep in my heart, you’re really a part of me,I’ve got you under my skin.

I tried so not to give in;I said to myself, this a= air never will go so well.But why should I try to resist?When, Darling, I know so well,I’ve got you under my skin.

I’d sacri@ ce anything, come what mayFor the sake of having you near,In spite of the warning voice that comes in the nightAnd repeats and repeats in my ear:

Don’t you know, little fool, you never can win,Use your mentality, wake up to reality,But each time I do, just the thought of youMakes me stop before I beginCause I’ve got you under my skin.

IT’S DE-LOVELYI feel a sudden urge to sing the kind of ditty that invokes the spring So, control your desire to curse while I crucify the verse.! is verse I’ve started seems to me the “Tin Pan-tithesis” of melody,So to spare you all the pain, I’ll skip the darn thingAnd sing the refrain.

! e night is young, the skies are clear,And if you want to go walkin’, dear,It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s de-lovely!

So please be sweet, my chickadee,And when I kiss ya, just say to me,“It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s delectable, it’s delirious, It’s dilemma, it’s de limit, it’s deluxe, it’s de-lovely.”

Time marches on, and soon it’s plainYou’ve won my heart,It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s de-lovely.Life seems so sweet, that we decide,It’s in the bag to get uni@ ed!It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s de-lovely.

See the crowd in that church,See the proud parson plopped on his perch,Get the sweet beat of the organ, sealing our doom.

How they cheer and how they smile,As we go galloping down that aisle,It’s divine dear, it’s de-veen, it’s de-wunderbar,It’s de-victory, it’s de-valop, it’s de-vinner,It’s de-voiks, it’s de-lovely!

It’s de-settle down as man and wifeTo solve this riddle called “married life” Oh life is sweet, we have no cares,We’re just a couple of honey bears.All’s as right as can beTill one night at the window I see:An absurd bird with a bundle on his nose;Get baby clothes.

! ose eyes of yours are @ lled with joyWhen nurse appears and cries, “It’s a boy!”He’s delightful, he’s delicious, he’s delectable, he’s delirious, He’s dilemma, he’s de limit, he’s deluxe, he’s de-lovely!

NIGHT AND DAYLike the beat, beat, beat of the tom tomWhen the jungle shadows fall,Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clockAs it stands against the wall.Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindropsWhen the Summer showers through,So a voice within me keeps repeating You, you, you.

Night and day, you are the one.Only you beneath the moon and under the sunWhether near to me or far, it’s no matter where you areI think of you, day and night, night and dayWhy is it so that this longing for you Follows wherever I go?In the roaring tra> c’s boom an’ in the silence,I think of you, night and day, day and night.Under the hide of me, there’s an oh such a hungry yearning Burning inside of me!And this torment won’t be throughTill you let me spend my life making love to you,Day and night, night and day.

LET’S MISBEHAVEYou could have a great career,Yes you could;And you should.Only one thing stops you dear:You’re too good;Way too good!

If you want a future, darlin’,Why don’t you get a past?’Cause that fateful moment’s comin’ at last...

We’re all alone, no chaperoneCan get our number! e world’s in slumber; let’s misbehave!

! ere’s something wild about you, child,! at’s so contagious
