Use this clip to introduce The King's Singers performing "Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" (Signum UK 177).  The King’s Singers’ complete discography is available at arkivmusic.com.

SUGGESTED HOST INTRO
Leonard Cohen’s song “Hallelujah,” despite its title, does not necessarily offer a religious point of view.  The song includes one section with a seemingly endless stream of high notes.  The King’s Singer’s soprano voice David Hurley said those high notes created high anxiety in the recording studio.

The King’s Singers Clip (David Hurley):
“I remember when we recorded it, feeling a sort of, sort of emotional holding on to the words and the music to get through it.  It’s funny, there's a sort of moment, at the end of each phrase you get the word ‘hallelujah’ and because it was technically quite hard, it was a sort (small laugh) feeling inside of, ‘Hallelujah, I’m nearly at the end of the phrase’.”

SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO
(Segue directly to music.)
OR
The King’s Singer’s soprano voice, David Hurley.  Listen for him as he ascends those high notes about 2 minutes into the music.
