Looking back from today to the very earliest records that we have of sung music, love has provided a more constant theme for composers and songwriters than any any other. From choruses in Greek tragedy to the oral traditions of folksongs from all over the world, from opera to musical theatre, from parlour music to cabaret, and from the recital stage all the way to the Top 40, love is everywhere and we can’t escape it.

These were recorded over 10 years between 2007 and 2017, involving eleven different King’s Singers (David, Pat, Robin, Tim, Paul, Jules, Phil, Chris B, Chris G, Steve and Johnny) in four different line-ups. Rather than trying to take in any of the enormous number of classical love songs from our back catalogue, we wanted to focus on some of the best folk songs, jazz standards and pop songs that have featured in King’s Singers concerts throughout our history. This selection has been curated especially to celebrate some of our favourite recent albums, and to show how rich and varied the tapestry of love songs we have today is. We really hope these Love Songs speak to you as much with you as they do to us.
