I was amazed at how many people commenting on my Irish Songs Thursday Thirteen were unfamiliar with them. I looked around You Tube (I’ve figured out how to do You Tube — I haven’t yet figured out how to do anything that plays music here) to see if I could find any of the King’s Singers or Irish Tenors. I couldn’t find any of them singing Irish songs, but I found several of the King’s Singers — the video of most of them isn’t great but the audio come through okay. This is an old Shaker hymn titled “Simple Gifts” or “Tis a Gift.” Then I found one of the Irish Tenors singing a non-Irish song, “My Heart Will Go On.” The video there is made up of scenes from different movies. The Irish Tenors have more of a belt-it-out style while the King’s Singers are softer and deeply harmonious (though of course the Irish Tenors harmonize beautifully and the King;s Singers can belt it out 🙂 ). If you’d like to hear snippets of them singing Irish songs, you can click on the links to CDs in my previous post
