About "Mantovano: Lirum bililirum" by The King's Singers
Mantovano's 'Lirum bililirum' is a nonsense-syllable romp, the singers tossing 'lirum' back and forth like a hot coal. Under the playful texture lies a taut rhythmic engineâjoy and precision in equal measure, a Renaissance party trick that still lands with a wink.
