    Margaret Schaap there actually is someone who continues on one note the whole song... Henry isn't listening or has older ears and can't really hear it all that well anymore. It Sounds very difficult.

    One of the things I love best about the KS is that every one of them has a potential virtuoso voice, yet they all use their instruments to combine in a true ensemble, blending and creating a GROUP work. Brilliant.

    absolutely. i think its hard for people who haven't sung in a choir or an acapella group to realize how hard it actually is to stay exactly on one note for an entire song. our voices naturally want to "move" and it takes concentration to overcome that tendancy

    I LOVE this song can't stop watching it. The prevalence of KS fans indicated by the number of comments below inspires me to add this: My grandfather was headmaster of King's College School at the time when the KS were formed. He tells the following story. The choir were on a boat touring somewhere (possibly Norway or Sweden?). One of the little boys in the choir went up to the captain of the ship and said, "Did you know you have a world famous choir on board? And if you let me steer the ship for the afternoon, a selection of them will sing for your passengers over dinner tonight". So the captain let him steer the ship, and at the end of the afternoon he went to David Willcocks (then choirmaster, and a great friend of my grandfather), and told him that he'd promised a concert. So apparently a few of the men got together and that's how the group started. :-)
