Repertoire of Our King's Court
PBC's Madrigals Ensemble
Our King's Court was a vocal ensemble of Peninsula Bible Church, Palo Alto. We sang period and period-style Christian music for PBC's Sunday worship services, for PBC's Music Ministry concerts, and for various special events. We often performed in costumes based on clothing styles worn during the 16th or 17th centuries.
These are the songs we sang.
