Drawing together two composers long associated with contemporary choral music, Sun, Moon, Sea, and Stars presents a selection of exciting original pieces by Bob Chilcott and Jussi Chydenius. Setting American and English poetry, including works by Anne Brontë, Lord Byron, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Sara Teasdale, as well as specially written texts by Bob Chilcott, this collection examines themes of nature, the elements, eternity, and love. The timeless character of the words
is delightfully contrasted with the wide range of popular musical styles, including rock grooves, reflective ballads, and exuberant encores. Additional performance opportunities are provided by the optional bass and drum kit parts for 'Come back!', 'On a Windy Day', 'She walks in beauty', and 'The Sound of the
Sea', while the title piece gives a baritone soloist the chance to shine.
