Bob Chilcott

Opis

for upper voices, SATB, and piano In this beautifully expressive setting, Bob Chilcott has adapted the Prayer of Saint Francis, with its focus on peace and unity. A semi-chorus, which may be taken from within the choir or sung by an additional upper-voice or children's choir, weaves Beethoven's iconic 'Ode to Joy' melody into the texture to create a powerful presentation of the unifying power of song.
