This collection brings together five brand new carols by Bob Chilcott for upper voices and piano. Suitable for women's choirs or youth choirs, the carols were commissioned by celebrated groups including The St Louis Children's Choir and Keiichi Asai's Women's Choir of Kyoto. The texts, by long-term collaborator Charles Bennett, weave an imagery of birds and the natural world with the Christmas narrative. The carols in the collection are 'The Midnight of your
Birth', 'The Blackbird with One White Feather', 'The Shepherd's Answer', 'The Rain-Tree Carol', and 'The Angel did Fly'.

Über Autor(innen)

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.
