Opis

for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied This beautifully expressive piece is based around The Seven Sacred Virtues of the Lakota; the title, 'Walking the Red Road', refers to the commitment to purposefully live by these values, the metaphorical 'red road', being a spiritual way of life. The unhurried tempo gives space for the listener to reflect on the text, while sumptuous harmonies create a rich cushion of sound.

O autorze

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.
