Now is the Month of Maying.mp4

[@miwir1248]

Anyone here today on May 1st 2024?

[@SoldSanke]

I'll be here May 1st 2025😌

[@bartoszskrzypczak2771]

Hello

[@jennaliseellis6121]

My favorite way to start off the month ☺️

[@helloitsbettertotalk]

Hi there! Yes. And practising for performing this in the pub in Lee in North Devon on Friday.

[@autodidactin]

If YT serves up the King’s Singers, they will absolutely be listened to!😄

[@nawigitf]

❤ Love this song! My God! This was a choir set piece in my school competitions, overseas, over 45 years ago!!! So glad to stumble on it!

[@susannabonke8552]

Same here! 😂😅😊

[@ShelaghBluebell]

Their precision and togetherness is just stunning, considering how many variations of speed this song calls for! :-) Love it, and play it every May 1st! Which is indeed today!

[@theeow6103]

Same! Hello from the future!

[@cuppatea4466]

I do too! And before we had KZbin I’d sing it myself every may 1st. I would have loved to know that someone else in the world was doing the same! Happy May Day to you!

[@cuppatea4466]

[@keenoled]

The King's Singers make me happy with all my heart and soul.

[@SirThreepio]

One of the best interpretations I've listened to. Maybe the best?

[@walther7147]

Mr bean has a wonderful voice!

[@mattbod]

If you mean Stephen Parham - Connolly on the right he is a little on the chunky side but yea I see it lol. He is a fabulous bass in all seriousness.

Love, This Era Of Music. Bravo King's Singers🎵

[@susanjeffay3851]

Mom and I sing this together- she's 105!!

[@susannabonke8552]

Bless your Mom! Music keeps alive. Never forget a violin teacher at 86. Appeared to be 60.

[@joeowens6180]

One of the very best incarnations of this wondrous group.

[@radioparisment628]

I love music, Bach, Beethoven, W.A. Mozart, Duke Ellington, King Crimson, Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd... and I love theses guys. I know I'm not normal but I'm happy !

[@nigelstarkey4606]

In that case, I'm not normal either; from Beethoven, Lizst,Chopin, Mozart, Rachmaninov, Sibelius, to Morley, Weelkes, Gibbons,Byrd through Miles Davis, Monk, to Yes, Floyd, Motown, Nat King Cole, Beatles, The Sweet, T Rex, Amy Winehouse, Pat Boone, Chris Barber, Acker Bilk, Elvis. What would life be like without music? To say pretty dull would be the understatement to top all understatements.

[@waynerowles8550]

Could listen to this forever

[@caitlynlimos2317]

The gentle who is singing soprano/tenor is great! Blew me away!

[@andym28]

We had to sing this every May at school. I've sung it every may since for 20 years because I love May.

[@JOHN-tk6vl]

We used to sing it, but never like this! Magnificent.

[@madscout96]

This song was the “it’s gonna be May” of the 16th century.

[@stillaboveground2470]

After hearing Barney Fife sing this song, it is great to hear it on key!

[@dianeweaver3928]

May 1, 2022. Hits the spot!

[@priscilla-pilgrimgirl7105]

Love this Madrigal! I have sung it many times.

[@graham4006]

Always exquisite hearing this version, the best in my opinion 🎶👍expecially as it's warm, sunny ☀️ and May again!🌞

[@ilzedia]

Ooh, it's May and suddenly this song came up and settled down in my mind from music school's choir times, though with half the lyrics missing. Beautiful!

[@anneintx1]

Beautiful Rendition! Makes me think of the Madrigals we sang in college and after. So Smooth

[@megbailey3562]

discovered by accident.... love it, and so appropriate for the start of MAY

But that's an practice for the gentlemens and ladies chanting songs like this🎶🎤.

Absolutely delightful Gentlemen.

[@wenglishsal]

English Medievial music at it's best.. The Kings singers are absolutely awesome... my favorites at the moment are 'New Day' and John Brunning's 'Pie Jesu' and this jolly tuen too... :0)x

[@helenasolares]

I think I'll never get tired of listening to them!! They're the best!

[@marciablaustein9197]

Perfection.

[@Filipeeno]

I love the moving parts in the bass! Woo... finally a fun part.

[@punterig]

Now is the month of Maying, When merry lads are playing, Each with his bonny lass, Upon the greeny grass, The Spring, clad all in gladness, Doth laugh at Winter's sadness, And to the bagpipe's sound The nymphs tread out their ground, Fie then why sit we musing, Youth's sweet delight refusing? Say dainty nymphs and speak, Shall we play barley break?

[@errolthecat]

Gorgeous...

[@voyage54]

A music to listen to in November.

Paul and Philip's lines cut throught much better here than in the balanced recording, which I like, cos the tenor and quintus parts are the two best ones, they sound awesome.

@ProfTenor I must make a correction to your reply. From left to right: 1st (high)countertenor (david hurley)- 2nd (low)countertenor (timothy wayne-wright) - tenor (paul phoenix) - 1st (high)baritone (philip lawson) - 2nd (low) baritone (christopher gabbitas) - bass (stephen connoly)

[@treesarecool12345678]

From highest to lowest (left to right) - countertenor, countertenor, tenor, baritone, baritone, bass :)

[@mattbod]

I miss Stephen the bass. Lovely resonant sound and a very expressive communicator too. He and the counter tenor stand out for me. Paul is a great talent wonderfully camp here too. Chis Gabbitas is an old schoolchum. All in all I love these guys could listen to them all day.

An update for our current situation: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now is the month of maying, when lads at home are staying Fa la la la la la la la la, fa la la la la la la Without a bonnie lass, the lonely hours do pass Fa la la la la la la la la, fa la la la la la la The Spring, in foppish gladness, mocks bitterly our sadness Fa la la la la la la la la, fa la la la la la la And silence, most profound, doth clothe the world around Fa la la la la la la la la, fa la la la la la la Fie, then, why sit we zooming, sweet calories consuming? Fa la la la la la la la la, fa la la la la la la Say, anarchists, and speak, shall we some havoc wreak? Fa la la la la la la la la, fa la la la la la la ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I got to know and love the King's Singers when Robin was still part of the group. In this performance he's already been replaced by Tim, who's undoubtedly a wonderful singer as well as all the other members. And now, in a few weeks time David's gonna retire -which leads to the fact that then there will only be Chris left from the (for me!) original constellation of the KS 😳💖🎶
