A work of epic proportions, this is a complete life cycle based on Native American writings. Each movement focuses on a different stage of life, from birth and childhood through adulthood and middle age to death. Tribal rhythmic sections are contrasted with tender, simple melodies and glorious climactic moments for full choir. A powerful work and an exciting showpiece for large youth choir forces or adult choirs.

Vocal scores available for sale and on hire.

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.
