Bob Chilcott Canticles of Light

for children's choir, mixed choir and orchestra or tubular bells and organ A dark and beautiful, yet also extremely approachable, work in three movements. The first two are darker in character: evening hymns that ask for protection and comfort through the night. The music lightens for the final hymn, a song for the morning that looks forward to a new beginning.

Canticles of Light for online perusal only for upper-voice choir, SATB choir, and orchestra Vocal score
