Recensione:

As would be expected, the settings are most inspired, varied and individual in their nature, reflecting superbly the quality and depth of the written text . . . Under the Greenwood Tree is another exciting, rhythmic piece with a real sense of energy and momentum . . . This could be a real winner for the more capable young choir. (Music Teacher Oct 99)

Willcocks returned to King's College, Cambridge as Director of Music from 1957-1974, with the first collection of his arrangements in the Carols for Choirs series publishing in 1961. He was Director of Music at the Royal College of Music from 1974-1984, and was knighted in the Queen's Silver Jubilee Honours List in 1977. Willcocks also conducted The Bach Choir for 38 years, retiring in 1998. Sir David died in September 2015.
