To celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, lower KS2 sang one of the queen's favourite songs called 'Sing'. This song has been written for her Majesty by Gary Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Webber on her Diamond Jubilee.
Story of the song:
When Lloyd Webber was asked how he and Barlow penned this track together, he responded: “We got together with embryonic ideas. Gary had an idea for the chorus, I had the idea for the verse, we both agreed that the message was about the Commonwealth. I was thinking ‘anthem’, but we had to involve all the people we could, and it had to be something very simple that people could learn.''
The single not only features 230 people and musicians from various Commonwealth countries including Australia, Jamaica, Kenya and the Solomon Islands plus Gareth Malone and the Military Wives choir, but Barlow took Prince Charles’ advice and added Commonwealth musicians as well.
