About this title

Review:

What is so valuable is that neither Chilcott nor Hunt 'write down' to the singer: both realise the importance of writing music that has integrity and sensitivity, while being aware of young singers' vocal strengths and limitations. This is highly recommended. (Malcolm Goldring, Music Teacher March 06)

Already you will have been alerted to something special by SongStream's two named compilers/editors, and your instincts have not let you down! Here are ten wonderfully crafted arrangements and original works that will be thoroughly enjoyed by youth choirs and youthful choirs . . . Assured writing with imagination and a taste for fun! (Robert Fielding, Choir & Organ Nov 05)

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. Peter Hunt is the inspiration behind OUP's highly successful Voiceworks series, author of four of its titles, and series editor. He is a highly skilled teacher with extensive experience as a choral animateur, clinician, workshop leader, conductor, and arranger. He regularly conducts children's choirs and organises large-scale singing events with young people. The wealth of eclectic material in the Voiceworks series, and the useful teaching notes have made the series a significant contributor to the recent revival of singing and the development of confident singing leaders in the UK. Peter has delivered workshops and Inset training all over the UK, Ireland, Australia, and the USA, and has a reputation for lively, stimulating and highly informative sessions born of real practical experience in the classroom. Peter is Deputy Head of Berkshire Maestros - the young musicians' trust - the Hub which is delivering music education for young people across the county of Berkshire, UK.
