About This Song
About "Once in Royal David's City (Arr. Nick Ashby)" by The King's Singers
Nick Ashby's arrangement of 'Once in Royal David's City' trades Victorian sentiment for clean, modern choral light. The King's Singers let the tune rise like a candle flame—steady, unshowy, but capable of sudden brightness. It's a processional that feels both intimate and quietly monumental, a story told in unison.
