Bob Chilcott (b.1955) 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.

"Another Chilcott collection worth having, this is a great addition for any choir that performs a lot of secular music . . . A collection of songs as cool as the colour of its cover." - Music Teacher, September 08
