Metro Voices
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metro Voices is a choir group based in London, England that specializes in performing for the motion pictures. They work closely with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and with acclaimed British composer Craig Armstrong. They are known from their light and melodic singing (seen in the soundtrack from Love Actually) to their flamboyant and bombastic chorus (seen in the soundtrack from Romeo + Juliet and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest). They have also performed for several tracks to Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, composed by Yasunori Mitsuda.
