Product Description for SATB and piano In A Song of Blue, Chilcott explores the power of music through the metaphor of nature. This piece opens with a simple ostinato in the piano accompaniment that is glittering, yet melancholic. The upper voices begin by singing in unison, reflecting the peace and stillness of the words, beforeexpanding into larger, more complex textures and yearnful harmonies. About the Author Bob Chilcott has been involved with choral music all his life, first as a Chorister and then a Choral Scholar at King's College, Cambridge. Later, he sang and composed music for 12 years with the King's Singers. His experiences with that group, his passionate commitment to young and amateur choirs, and his profound belief that music can unite people, have inspired him both to compose full-time and, through proactive workshopping, to promote choral music worldwide.
