Blue Holloway has a fine voice that he uses well.

That's obvious. But the music he sings is formulaic and the sentiments he expresses are banal. What we hear from New College is far more, well, elevating to use your term. And if one is permitted to make any kind of aesthetic judgment, is of "vastly superior quality." Christianity's musical tradition constitutes one of the faith's most compelling arguments. Where did such beauty and insight come from? What gives it the power to distill the heart of the human condition? Listen to what is linked below (unlike the heavenly length of the link you kindly provided, this one lasts less than five minutes.) They didn't call Bach "the Fifth Evangelist" for nothing. But before we work ourselves into too much of a lather over the glories of the choir of New College, we should note that they have been infected by the woke/feminist virus, albeit so far the condition has not proved fatal. Yes, the top line is still all boys. But unlike with Kings, you will notice that altresses have infiltrated their ranks. It is perfectly possible - and far preferable both musically and socially -- to have the alto line sung by boys (although admittedly boy altos are a rarer species than boy sopranos) and if you can't find enough of them, you can use very young men with high lyric voices (as Kings does). I offer the link below as a demonstration that the boy alto can rise to the highest musical challenges -- that properly trained and deployed, it is indeed one of the great ornaments of creation and a tribute in and of itself to the glory of God.
