 "There is surely no more quintessentially English sound than that of the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge. Their unaccompanied voices are evocative of immemorial sandstone, of cool cloisters, evensong in church, chapel and cathedral, serene in the music of Shakespeare’s contemporaries Byrd and Gibbons. No less iconic is the chapel that lends its unique acoustic to that sound. One of the glories of the English perpendicular style of architecture, the Chapel of King’s College, Cambridge was completed in 1547, a little over a century after the founding, by Henry VI, of King’s College itself.
