THE QUEEN’S SIX

    Based at Windsor Castle, the members of The Queen’s Six make up half of the Lay Clerks of St George’s Chapel, whose homes lie within the Castle walls. This rare privilege demands the highest musical standards, as they sing regularly for the Royal family at both private and state occasions. Most significantly however, it is the familiarity of living and singing together in Chapel every day that lends this group its distinctive closeness and blend, as well as an irresistible informality and charm. Individually, members of The Queen’s Six have appeared in many of the most prestigious vocal ensembles on the circuit, including The Sixteen, The Tallis Scholars and Tenebrae. Their repertoire extends far beyond the reach of the choir stalls: from austere early chant, florid Renaissance polyphony, lewd madrigals and haunting folk songs to upbeat Jazz and Pop.   Program:   Wiliam Byrd: O Lord, make thy servant Elizabeth our Queen Thomas Morley: Arise, awake Hernando Franco: Christus factus est Wiliam Byrd: Ye sacred muses Miguel Dallo y Lana: Laudate Dominum Philip Moore: O clap your hands* Nico Muhly: God will be their light* American traditional (arr.
