 Update me on new releases by Chilcott

Bob Chilcott (b01/01/1955)

Bob Chilcott, described by The Observer as “a contemporary hero of British Choral Music”, has become one of the most widely performed composers of choral music in the world. He has a large catalogue of works published by Oxford University Press, and these include several large-scale works, sacred and secular pieces for mixed choir, and music for uppervoice choir. Amongst Chilcott’s major works, Salisbury Vespers, written in 2009, was first performed by over 600 singers and players in Salisbury Cathedral. His Requiem of 2010 has now been performed in sixteen countries, and his large-scale cantata, The Angry Planet, had its première in the 2012 BBC Proms with 550 adult and young singers. In March 2013 his St John Passion was given its première in Wells Cathedral by the Cathedral Choir conducted by Matthew Owens. Of his smaller works, A Little Jazz Mass remains a favourite with choirs around the world as do his cantata, The Making of the Drum, and many of his pieces for children’s choir, including the piece with sign language, Can you hear me?. Between 1997 and 2004 Chilcott was conductor of the chorus of the Royal College of Music in London and since 2002 he has been principal guest conductor of The BBC Singers. He has been privileged to conduct many choirs in over 23 countries over the last ten years. This is his first recording for Naxos, and the second, a disc of Christmas music, follows later in 2013. His Requiem has been recorded by the Choir of Wells
