Product Description
From the Label
Like all boys their age, these three youngsters enjoy football, computer games and rock music. More unusually, Ben, Patrick and CJ different also enjoy centuries-old choral music by long-dead classical composers. But never mind the cassocks and surplices--The Choirboys might sing like angels, but they look more like a stylish boy band in their designer suits.
The junior version of the Three Tenors was formed following a nationwide search that took talent scouts to nearly 50 cathedrals and churches all over the country. Hundreds of boys were auditioned before Ben Inman, 12, was picked from the Southwell Minster in Nottinghamshire, directed by Paul Hale, and his new bandmates, Patrick Aspbury, 12, and CJ Porter-Thaw, 10, were both discovered singing in the famous choir at Ely Cathedral under the direction of Paul Trepte. Although mostly made up of traditional choral music such as Allegri’s Miserere and Bach’s Ave Maria, their album includes the themes of TV shows Mr Bean and The Vicar Of Dibley, and pop oldies like Eric Clapton’s Tears In Heaven and He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother, popularized by Neil Diamond and The Hollies.

Angelic Voices - 3 Cheers for Boy Singers!,
By
This review is from: The Choirboys (Audio CD)
This is a first rate album showcasing these 3 young men and their voices. I was pleased to see a variety of music styles offered to show their abilities. As a trainer of a children's choir, I would LOVE to have boys(or girls) like this in my choir! A great thank you to the music publishers for supporting these boys and their music career, however short their treble voice may last- it is a great help to us church musicians to see quality music being promoted. Only one negative comment, it would have been nice for the cd jacket to give more information about the boys, and details on which one sings on which pieces. I look forward to seeing more young musicians in the spotlight!

Just Amazing,
By Usrhlp (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Choirboys (Audio CD)
This takes me back to when I was younger. Ecce Homo is a masterpiece and the other items they sing are just fantastic. I actually bought this album the day it came out and I was not disappointed at all.
The songs are beautifully recorded, the accoustics and resonance of the room they are singing in sounds like the usual brilliant churches or cathedrals I used to sing in. This album takes me back, if you were a chorister and want to listen to when you were younger get this album. I paid £9.99 for it and I would pay that again for it, even though it is a lot cheaper on Amazon it is that good. If you want peaceful and entertaining music get this album, it is one of my faves and I love singing along even if i cannot no longer reach the notes of old :)

Such pure voices!,
By
This review is from: The Choirboys (Audio CD)
My Dad bought this album for my Mum last Christmas because she heard a couple of the songs on Classic FM and loved them. It's a beautiful album and they reach such high notes with what seems like no effort! And yet when you read the booklet in the CD case, you discover that they are just normal teenage boys! Their voices are so pure and I would say this is the best album of this genre around.
