Sing along with The King's Singers: Hark all ye lovely saints (Thomas Weelkes)

In the first of our 2023 Sing Along videos, we're sharing Thomas Weelkes' madrigal 'Hark all ye lovely saints'. This year marks 400 years since Weelkes's death, and we're honouring him by celebrating some of his madrigals (non-religious choral music). This madrigal is a kind of fusion of the sacred and secular, referencing both 'saints above' in the opening line, but also the greek and roman mythology common in madrigals - as well as some suggestive double-meanings later in the piece.

Madrigals remind me of great college times! You sing them so perfectly. Both intonation and dynamics. Wow! Thanks for making my Monday morning! ❤

One of my favorites. Thank you all. I especially liked the final chord’s bass note 😊

[@madnessqueen]

Every vocal group or choir has their own Jules - the one who absolutely LIVES the music and makes sure you can clearly see it. 🤩 I love it!
