About This Song
About "Weelkes: 26 Ayeres or Phantasticke Spirites: No. 25, The Nightingale" by The King's Singers
A nightingale flickers through Weelkes' playful part-writing, its call passed voice to voice like a secret. The King's Singers keep the texture light and quicksilver, but the bird's sweetness carries an edgeânature's song echoing human longing in the dark.
