I have memories of both this carol and of the King's Singers, but not together. I've seen a number of concerts with the King's Singers, not in their most recent incarnation, and certainly not singing this.
The song is one I've also not heard in a long time, and mainly remember: There was mickle melody at that Childe's birth/ Although they were in Heaven's bliss, they maden mickle mirth. I sang it long ago with a small choir, a different setting than this, and certainly not as beautifully. When I hear it, I see the dark streets of Toronto at Christmastime.
Merry Fourth Day of Christmas.
