Continuing the a capella theme we again expanding the size of the choir and change the style of the music. One of the prime skills of any musician is the ability to communicate with those who are listening – and what better way than by encouraging them to take part.

Very Old Music
Apart from popular songs like I shared yesterday the King’s Singers also performed a huge range of “classical” music from all of the history of music. A Capella singing has been around a long time!! I particularly enjoyed many of their “early music” songs – but today’s offering would have been a bit beyond six of them. It is Thomas Tallis’ 40-part “Spem in alium”.
A New Day
My daily post is sometimes planned in advance, sometimes I spend a while looking for the ‘right’ choice and sometimes, like today it sort of drops in my lap.
From The East
My Facebook memories reminded me that this event took place six years ago today and this is perhaps a perfect choice of music for these times.
Band Tour Of Florida
A few weeks ago I shared a video of some photos of the band’s visit to Sweden in 1990. That proved popular, so today we have something similar.

On Observing Reality
Reality TV shows are anything but. They are sold to you as good viewing because, unlike soaps or crime series etc., you are seeing “real life” unfold in front of your eyes. However, if it really were real life (and there have been some so-called “slow TV” shows made that could claim that) then the vast majority of the programme would be dull and unwatchable (always assuming that any show of this genre can claim otherwise. 😀
