Bob Chilcott sacred repertoire<br />
Angel voices ever singing<br />
Written for the charity Help<br />
Musicians, this anthem presents<br />
an imaginative setting of Francis<br />
Pott’s well-known hymn in<br />
triple metre. Characterful<br />
and contrasting organ writing<br />
underpins the melodically and<br />
rhythmically interesting vocal<br />
lines, and an alto solo in verse<br />
four provides textural contrast.<br />
Now the green blade riseth<br />
This Easter anthem sets an<br />
evocative text by<br />
J. M. C. Crum. Stately, expressive<br />
vocal lines are underpinned by<br />
a lively organ part, with crisp<br />
staccato melismas that pop out of<br />
the texture.<br />

Ev’ry time I feel the Spirit<br />
SATB (with divisions) and piano<br />
Brimming with groove<br />
and energy, this is a terrific<br />
arrangement of the popular<br />
spiritual. Syncopated melodies<br />
and jazzy harmonies are<br />
well supported by the piano<br />
accompaniment, which features<br />
a walking bass. Perfect for<br />
adding a bit of spark to any<br />
concert programme. Originally<br />
published in Spirituals for Choirs.<br />
✝ Suitable for Easter<br />
O Lord, thou hast searched me,<br />
and known me<br />
This setting of Psalm 139 is<br />
warm and mesmerizing. The<br />
chant-like texture and shifting<br />
tonalities impart the sensation<br />
of being entranced by prayer.<br />
The words offer respite, as one<br />
is safe in the omnipresence of<br />
God. Tranquil yet powerful, this<br />
work captures a sense of the<br />
total stillness after a storm.<br />
