About "Long live, fair Oriana" by The King's Singers
A ceremonial toast to Elizabeth I, 'Long live, fair Oriana' finds The King's Singers in full regal bloom. The round's stately repetitions build a cathedral of praise—each voice a pillar, each cadence a bow. Yet beneath the pomp, a human tenderness flickers: the queen as both icon and fragile mortal, held aloft by song.
