for SSA and pianoThis jubilant and uplifting carol is sure to become a Christmas classic. The memorable melodies have a fittingly dance-like quality, and the bell-like piano part adds festive sparkle, while providing a resolute rhythmic grounding. Coupling the familiar Christmas words with lesser-known verses of the traditional carol depicting Jesus in the wilderness and the Resurrection and Ascension of Christ, this piece is suitable for concerts and services throughout the year.

Recenzii

Bob Chilcott's Tomorrow shall be my dancing day is not an arrangement of the traditional carol but an original composition with dancing syncopations that remind one of John Gardner's setting - coupled with Chilcott's musical inventiveness, especially in some of the lesser-known verses. The characterization of verse 3 'Into the desert', verse 4 'Then down to hell' and verse 5 'Then up to heaven' will delight a carol-service congregation.
