A new album of works by the world renowned choral composer Bob Chilcott. Chilcott has been involved in choral music for most of his life and since he became a professional composer in 1997 he has had over 100 works published by Oxford University Press. He was hailed by Gramophone magazine as “one of the finest choral composers at work in Britain today.”

This album includes tracks with The Sirens, an ensemble of young professional women's voices specially created for this recording. Also featuring are a jazz trio with Alexander Hawkins on piano, Michael Chilcott on bass and Dereck Scurll on drums.

The works included here reflect the strong support and interest that Chilcott’s vocal music generates, with commissions from a wide variety of choral societies, children & youth choirs and professional choruses.
