About

We are a collection of dedicated students, faculty and friends of King’s who love making music together. The Chorus is a non-competitive choir open to all. The King’s Chorus was born in January of 2010 and had our debut show the following April, filling Halifax’s Cathedral Church of All Saints. Our repertoire includes classical (both ancient and modern), folk, sacred and world music.

Spring 2013 Season

 Paul Halley’s LOVE SONGS FOR SPRINGTIME   

JPEG press release image

A concert in celebration of springtime renewal and awakening. We will be singing Paul Halley’s suite, Love Songs for Springtime, as well as his glorious setting of the Appalachian hymn Wondrous Love. Our dear director could not resist throwing into the program also  works by Gabrielli and Handl as well.

This will be a wonderful adventure of a concert that will bring your heart and mind into the mood of spring (even if our dear province is still holding out against it!).
The Love Songs for Springtime are a rare form of beautiful, playful, story-filled secular texts combined with the sounds of percussion, brass, and organ, all brilliantly set to music that is at once clear and evocative and not too soiled with seriousness.

They have been described by New York Time’s critic Bob Zeidler as “alternately sweet and droll”. He later remarked that Wondrous Love  in ”Halley’s arrangement brings forth the heroic dimension of [the] work”.
