The Swingle Singers - Bach - Brandenberg Concerto No.3.

The Swingle Singers are a mostly a cappella vocal group formed in 1962 in Paris, France with Ward Swingle, Anne Germain, Jeanette Baucomont and Jean Cussac. Christiane Legrand, the sister of composer Michel Legrand, was the lead soprano in the original French group. There are a total of eight members in the group: two sopranos, two altos, two tenors and two basses. In 1973, the original French group disbanded and Ward Swingle moved to London and re-formed the group with new members as Swingle II. They would later perform and record under the name The Swingles and then, The New Swingle Singers and eventually, simply, The Swingle Singers. Since the London group's incarnation, the group has never disbanded. Members have come and gone and the other members have re-auditioned for the voice part that has left.

Way back in 1965 I took a course in Theory and Harmony from the venerable Charles Millard. He introduced our class to The Swingle Singers, and my understanding of the human voice as a musical instrument was changed forever. Thank you - these many decades later - Mr Millard.

Tempo bien respecté. Une belle performance de reproduire ainsi les différents instruments de musique qui se répondent, d'une certaine façon...

Génial !

[@mauricioduron3193]

Very, very good - it is not reallly Ward Swingle's original ensemble. No Christine Legrand or Ward himself to be heard.

[@danielralphsson9108]

From what recording is this? Don't recognize it from Bach hits Back, although it's the same arrangement....

[@twayburn]

Kenny Clarke on drums and Pierre Michelot bass, if I am not mistaken. Please confirm or correct me if I am wrong.
