Synopsis

for double SATB choir unaccompanied My prayer is a technical 'tour de force', meticulously sculpted from the distilled essence of Purcell's original and yet always recognizably Chilcott. The music is involved, passionate, and frequently contrapuntal. This is a beautiful and convincing work imbued with an unsettling melancholy.

About this title

Review:

Bob Chilcott's compositions and arrangements are usually guaranteed to be satisfying and the two examples of his work reviewed here are no exception . . . Although the individual parts are not difficult this piece is undoubtedly challenging and well worth exploring. (Music Teacher June 03)

About the Author:

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.
