Recensione:

The idiom [of 'The Lily and the Rose'] is gentle, restrained and melancholy without being remote, the harmonies warm and plangent without being cloying, the rhythms crisp and often (deliberately) repetitive, the form clean, clear, and concise, the whole well and sensitively conceived for the forces for which it was written, in this case a youth choir. . . . There is originality [in 'The Runner'] in the rhythmic huffings and pantings of the voices that underlay the canonic interplay of the sung parts, and real drive in the latter stages as Whitman's text is abandoned and the wordless, jagged rhythms articulated earlier in the piece take over and are developed into a climactic, jazzy, angular, multi-layered harmony. (Matthew Greenall, The Singer, June 07)

All these pieces are available separately, but this is a worthwhile investment; apart from anything, the pieces are well crafted and fun to sing, and you may find some new Chilcott gems here you otherwise may have missed. (Jonathan Wikeley, Music Teacher Sept 07)

L'autore:

Bob Chilcott has been involved with choral music all his life, first as a Chorister and then a Choral Scholar at King's College, Cambridge. Later, he sang and composed music for 12 years with the King's Singers. His experiences with that group, his passionate commitment to young and amateur choirs, and his profound belief that music can unite people, have inspired him both to compose full-time and, through proactive workshopping, to promote choral music worldwide.
