Recenzje

Chilcott writes that the meditations can be performed individually or as a set, in either liturgical or concert setting. Choirs that already have the scores for the St John Passion could follow suit with using these portions as Chilcott suggests. Choirs not wishing to undertake the full passion setting can benefit from this separate publication of fascinating poetry attractively set.
