The ethereal sounds of the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, have become a staple of the Christmas season throughout the world. Composed of 16 choristers, or boy singers, and 14 choral scholars, the choir dates back to the 15th century. Their latest CD is Heavenly Voices, a selection of popular choral works and hymns.

NPR's Jacki Lyden talks with choir director Stephen Cleobury and choristers Sam Landman and Alexander Ryan.
