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.

CD Description
Billed as the first ever choral boy band, The Choirboys - Ben, Patrick and C.J. - were plucked from obscurity at auditions that took place at fifty different cathedrals and churches all over the UK. This, their debut album, sees the boys performing choral standards and pop and rock classics while backed by the English Chamber Ensemble. The single 'Tears In Heaven', originally performed by Eric Clapton, is also included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking Choirboys, 1 Dec 2005
This album is just beautiful. The concept is pretty simple - three young choirboys with wonderful voices singing a mixture of classical and classic songs - but the result is just phenomenal. The boy's voices are so pure and the album has a truly endearing feel of innocence to it. The combination of classical and modern songs works brilliantly and there are so many album highlights; on the classical side Pie Jesu and Panis Angelicus are all wonderful and their takes on more modern tracks such as He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother and Tears In Heaven work just as well. The latter in fact is sensational - The Choirboys version of Eric Clapton's classic song has to be heard to be believed and I defy anyone not to be genuinely moved after hearing it. Other songs worthy of special mention are 'Do You Hear What I Hear?' - which features a duet with the fabulous New Zealander Hayley Westenra and a lovely cover of the Christmas classic 'Walking In The Air'. This album will appeal to so many people and it has the potential to be absolutely huge.

Released in the run up to Christmas, I wouldn't be surprised if The Choirboys provided the Yuletide soundtrack to households up and down the country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Angelic Voices - 3 Cheers for Boy Singers!, 7 Nov 2006
By Brian Hunt (Lexington KY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Amazing, 20 Dec 2006
By Usrhlp (England) - See all my reviews
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 :)
