“A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square”
Yale Whiffenpoofs
Every year, 14 senior Yale students are selected to be in the Whiffenpoofs, the world’s oldest and best-known collegiate a cappella group. Founded in 1909, the “Whiffs” began as a senior quartet that met weekly at Mory’s Temple Bar. Today, the group has become one of Yale’s most celebrated traditions. Singing a mixture of old Yale tunes, jazz standards, and other hits from across the decades, the Whiffenpoofs perform more than 200 concerts across six continents each year.

Since Fenno Heath arranged Nightingale for the Whiffs of ’89 (on the occasion of the Whiffs’ 80th anniversary), I’ve never heard it sung better. Great work, gang!
