for SATB accompanied and unaccompanied This second book of anthems by Bob Chilcott assembles pieces in a wonderful range of styles and moods. The anthems have been carefully selected to be both approachable to a wide range of choirs and appropriate to the needs of today's liturgy. An indispensable addition to any choir's library.
Bob Chilcott (b.1955)
"Chilcott has a gift for melodic invention and often uses interesting textures in accompaniments . . . Dear Lord and Father of Mankind, written for Repton School, has a particularly attractive new tune. However, in verse four the congregation joins in, singing Parry's tune Repton cleverly superimposed over Chilcott's tune. Repton also provides inspiration for a descant at the end. Charles Wesley's text for Love Divine receives a delicate and expressive treatment - the cantabile melody is set against a gently moving semiquaver accompaniment." - Gordon Appleton, CMQ, June 2011
"Its combination of folksy wedding anthems and warm-hearted, idiomatic settings of standard liturgical texts should ensure it a ready welcome in organ lofts across the land." - Matthew Greenall, The Singer, October 2009
