Bob Chilcott - Lightwaves

This dazzling work presents an exploration of light in its many forms and uses, from starlight and sunlight to electricity, photosynthesis, or guiding ships to safety. Both piano and voices are used pictorially, conjuring the beautifully descriptive images from Charles Bennett's text in a musical setting that contrasts moments of high energy and tranquility. Lightwaves is sure to capture the imagination and provide an illuminating take on this fascinating subject.
