We often refer to this building as our "spiritual home" - using "spiritual" as homonym to describe both the fact that this is the place whence the group sprang, but also a place of worship. It's certainly a very special building, and it's always a pleasure to visit and, most especially, to perform here.From the moment you enter, whether as a tourist, member of the congregation, or musician, you are struck by amazement at how the chapel was constructed, 500 years ago, and look pristine to this very day. The incredible fan vaulted ceiling, the beautiful woodwork of the organ screen and choir stalls, and the delicate stonework of the interior take your breath away.To sing here is an experience of pure pleasure. The acoustics are, perhaps, not perfect - but they do serve the voice well, allowing a consort group such as the KS to revel in an honesty of sound that is very satisfying. Having honed their craft in the chapel under the late Sir David Willcocks, it's no surprise that the "King's Singers sound" is perfectly suited to this environment. From the moment we started to rehearse Orlando di Lasso's "Resonet in Laudibus" it felt as though we had come home.Events at King's are always special. Welcoming three youth choirs and their directors, along with almost 50 composers, for the afternoon session, was perhaps more special than usual. One of the three aims of The King's Singers Foundation is to "inspire" through music - and what better a way to do so than to encourage composers to write original material, and to encourage young singers to interpret those pieces for a world premiere performance? This is music making at its most fundamental, and we were not let down. Our second Carol for Christmas competition gave us a rich vein of material from which to mine the eventual winners, all worthy champions in their respective classes. We were delighted to welcome all four winners to the day's events, and hope they enjoyed their moment in the spotlight. With the support of Edition Peters in publishing the works, we are sure these pieces will be performed many times over in future Christmas performances around the world.As for us, a rare weekend at home in the UK follows. This is a chance to deck the hall with our families, to catch up with friends, and to rest and prepare for the final tour of 2015, during which we shall visit Spain, Germany, and Switzerland. I'm looking forward to visiting a few Christmas markets and the odd glass of Gluhwein, and 21 December is the magical date on which we return home to enjoy Christmas! We hope to see as many of you as possible over the next fortnight, to fill you with Christmas cheer.
