Random information about the London Oratory School Schola: they were the boys' choir featured throughout the Lord of the Rings soundtracks, and two soloists from the choir also were part of the soundtracks - Edward Ross for the first movie, and Ben Del Maestro for the second two. Edward Ross was the...

I thought Ave Maria was Gabe and is Lacrymosa Alex G who sings the main Latin bit half way though the ITunes clip. It seems like a mature voice to my ear. Listening to Ave Maria more, I think you might be right, it does sound a bit like Gabe. Some parts still sound more like Alex M to me, but then ...

The soloist on Ave Maria (Caccini) sounds a lot like Alex M to me. I'm not sure at all if I'm right, but that's my guess anyway. :) I think it could easily be another relatively-young member as well. Well, the only way it could be Alex M. would be if it was recorded quite a while before the other t...

The soloist on Ave Maria (Caccini) sounds a lot like Alex M to me. I'm not sure at all if I'm right, but that's my guess anyway. :) I also agree that Gabe and Leo seem like a likely combination on Do Not Stand. The singing style reminds me of Gabe's, and the voice sounds like it could definitely be ...

https://youtu.be/_cZ8l70xLy8 Ben and Joe Thanks for sharing it!! The first time I've seen this video. :D And I would like to add to the list: who sings the lower octave at the refrain of Time ? There's one in the background... Pretty sure it's Josh singing the lower octave along with Ben in Time. :...

Thanks for the reviews! :D Keep them coming. It's neat that they brought back Do You Hear What I Hear. The Angel Voices 3 version was the first song by them that I heard, so it's cool that it's back. I'd love to hear a newly-recorded version sometime, although perhaps as a single or EP - I'm not hop...

Also having been in a choir, I agree that a big factor is simply the time and effort of learning new songs to perform. My choir rehearsed some of the more difficult pieces for weeks before performing them, and we didn't have to worry about any sort of choreography or memorizing the words and music -...

Does anyone who was at that concert know if the standard no-filming-allowed announcement was made? I'm wondering if it being a private concert would have affected that. It's one thing to forbid the general public from filming, but it seems like it might be harder to do with private sponsors who are...

Please forgive me.

No worries, but thanks for the correction!

To be different I will pick a different boy for a solo instead of going with Romeo. I think it’s Leo, Koji or Tadhg as Leo and Tadgh seem to be more at the forefront of the group now and it’s a new voice that we have not heard before. I heard Leo on the US tour and I don't think it's him. I only he...

It's available on iTunes in the US. :D It's a new recording, going by the solo. Not sure who the soloist is, but he sounds fairly young to me. I don't think it's anyone who was a soloist on the Hope album. The downside of it being a new recording is that it seems less likely they'll release the musi...

This is fantastic news!

I loved the clips of the song but I never thought I'd hear the whole thing. I wonder if there's a chance the music video they filmed will ever be released as well, if they've worked out the copyright issues.

Wow, Chris, I did not know all of these things about the biological aspects of singing and the effect on the larynx. Thank you for an interesting read. Far from being superfluous I find this type of information highly informative and of great interest. The intellectually curious amongst us value th...

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! I do think it's very accurate to say that being in a choir does become part of your identity. I actually recently had to leave my cathedral choir due to a move, but the difference for me is that I'll be able to rejoin it in a couple years. With members of a boys...
