The King's Singers Contemporary Collection torrent

This album contains five pieces of music that were commissioned by or for The King's Singers in 1972 and 1973. These works are a bit different than their usual fare by being "avant guarde". The group will sing one piece like these during the first half of a concert. One of the most popular is "Time Piece" laced with humour. I have personally witnessed a performance of "Time Piece".

These pieces are not available on CD or download with the exception of "Timepiece", I believe.

1. The Musicians of Bremen
2. Winter Afternoons (Rodney Stafford on double bass)
3. Ecloga VIII
4. Time Piece
5. The House of Sleepe
