The King's Singers - Ein feste burg (live)

At the beginning of the second part in our 'Finding Harmony' concert programme, we enjoy marching on to the stage whilst singing the opening verse of this famous hymn by Martin Luther, accompanied by the beat of a drum. From this martial opening, we move into a traditional harmonisation which would have been familiar to protestant church congregations in the 16th-17th centuries. And we conclude with a verse in J. S. Bach's celebrated harmonisation. Through this sequence, we try to demonstrate the versatile and enduring power of this wonderful hymn, from its origins in the early 16th century through to today.
