Recensione:

Chilcott has a gift for melodic invention and often uses interesting textures in accompaniments . . . Dear Lord and Father of Mankind, written for Repton School, has a particularly attractive new tune. However, in verse four the congregation joins in, singing Parry's tune Repton cleverly superimposed over Chilcott's tune. Repton also provides inspiration for a descant at the end. Charles Wesley's text for Love Divine receives a delicate and expressive treatment - the cantabile melody is set against a gently moving semiquaver accompaniment. (Gordon Appleton, CMQ, June 2011)

Its combination of folksy wedding anthems and warm-hearted, idiomatic settings of standard liturgical texts should ensure it a ready welcome in organ lofts across the land. (Matthew Greenall, The Singer, October 2009)

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.
