Really excellent! Superb tone, balance, phrasing, ensemble. Vigorous, ringing trebles ... and the fully adult lower voices really ground the choir. As so many of the last UK traditional choirs become mixed-voice and give up the ability to sing centuries of music as composers intended, the world will look to you to preserve this vital strand in Western culture.
I so much agree with you about the sad destruction of traditional male voice choirs in the UK going on right now. Choirs with 6, 7 8 or more centuries of tradition behind them, destroyed in a moment for entirely ideological reasons. It makes me almost weep with fury! Why is it other countries value their traditions, but apparently we don't? I am not so sure about the adult men - I personally feel that treble voices blend best with young male voices as in choirs like the Thomanerchor in Leipzig. In fact, I think having boys singing both treble and alto in such choirs, then moving on to sing tenor and bass, is perhaps one reason they are more resilient now than Anglican choirs, where it is so easy to force female altos in on the basis of 'equality'.
Amazing to see these boys singing with social distancing in force. May the Holy Spirit bestow on them and guide them all the way. The boys sang at 5:20 & 23:40 are cute because of their long hair.
