for SATB and organ This Easter anthem sets an evocative text by J. M. C. Crum. Stately, expressive vocal lines are underpinned by a lively organ part, with crisp staccato melismas that pop out of the texture.

for SATB and organ This setting of Psalm 139 by Chilcott is warm and mesmerizing. The chant-like texture and shifting tonalities impart the sensation of being entranced in prayer. The words offer respite, as one is safe in the omnipresence of God. Tranquil yet powerful, this work captures a sense of the total stillness after a storm. The sustained chords in the organ swell and fall, binding and supporting the choir's phrases while adding to the magical atmosphere of the anthem.

for SA and SATB choirs and piano, or 2 pianos and percussion (4 players) 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 manhood 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.

for SATB (with alto solo) and organ Written for the charity Help Musicians for the festival of St Cecilia and premiered by the combined choirs of Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral, and St Paul's Cathedral, this anthem presents an imaginative setting of Francis Pott's well-known hymn 'Angel voices ever ringing' in triple metre. Characterful and contrasting organ writing underpins the melodically and rhythmically interesting vocal lines, and an Alto solo in the fourth verse provides textural contrast.

for SATB unaccompanied with optional congregation William Blake's poem, 'A Cradle Song', is brought to life in this elegant setting by Chilcott. The gentle, recurring melody is passed from sopranos to altos, supported by 'oo's and 'ah's in the lower voices. In the last section, the congregation (or semi-chorus) joins in with 'Away in a manger', which is skilfully weaved into the vocal texture as a countermelody. This is truly a carol for everyone.

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.

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.
