At choir practice tonight, and we're singing the King's Singers arrangement of Lullabye by Billy Joel.
I've sung this before, but how did I never catch the egregious counterpoint violations in the last measure here?
Doubled 7th on chord, while moving in parallel octaves‽
Shame on your game.

Here's the song you speak of:
"Goodnight, my angel" (Billy Joel) King's Singers & VOCES8

Correct. This is the video we sent to members to help them learn it. This performance uses the optional Choir II part at the end of the score, but the VOCES8 soprano soloist adds some nice decoration that isn't notated. We're just doing the standard 6 parts that KS normally does on their own.

Gotcha. That video I posted is exquisite, isn't it?
