Bob Chilcott

en Limba Engleză Sheet music – 26 sep 2012

for upper voices, SATB, and piano or orchestraThe Seeds of Stars is a resplendent setting of a philosophical text by Charles Bennett. The rippling piano part provides a shimmering accompaniment to radiant and expressive vocal lines, and Chilcott effectively contrasts upper- and mixed-voice sections with stirring passages for all voices. Reflecting the vivid imagery of the text, the upper voices soar above the choir during climatic moments, but also bring the piece to its gentle, profound close.An orchestral accompaniment is available on hire/rental.
