for SATB (with divisions) and viola obbligato Beach is taken from the song cycle 'Songs for Seven Storeys', which Bob Chilcott wrote to celebrate the opening of the New Evelina Children's Hospital. Combining a nostalgic melody with a haunting viola obbligato, this introspective song beautifully captures the memory of the seaside.

for SATB and optional organ Quem pastores laudavere is a beautiful, short arrangement with a more traditional harmonic backdrop.

Bassi writes lush choral lines with suspension after suspension, which results in a stunning sound with considerable depth. An English singing translation is provided beneath the text.

for unison children's choir, SATB choir, and piano or strings This beautiful song combines a melodic setting of Christina Rossetti's 'A Birthday' with Robert Burns's 'A Red, Red Rose', sung to the tune of a traditional Scottish ballad.

Also available for SATB and piano or strings.

for SATB and oboe or flute with piano or orchestra This captivating rendition of a classic spiritual is a delight to sing.

This exciting and accessible collection for upper voices (scored for SA choir and piano) features five songs by celebrated choral composer Bob Chilcott. Drawing on five very different texts, Chilcott guides the voices through a number of styles and moods; the songs include the rousing 'All for Love of One', gentle 'The Truth is Great', and thought-provoking 'All things pass'. The central song, 'Circles of Motion', is a fervent and positive setting of Joy Harjo's well-known 'Eagle Poem', and the collection is completed by the funky 'Red Boots On', which uses jazzy rhythms and harmonies to bring Kit Wright's text alive. This is Chilcott at his very best - a welcome addition to the repertoire of any upper-voice choir.

for SSAA and piano This setting of a delightful text by Canadian poet Tara Wohlberg was commissioned by the Canadian Children's Opera Chorus. The gentle undulating piano accompaniment and the lush choral parts will make this a delight both for singers and audience members.

Forever Child is a suite of seven pieces for unaccompanied mixed voices on the theme of childhood. It was composed in memory of a young boy, Ben Curiel, and is a celebration of his life in a sequence of well-loved texts. Corp skilfully evokes a variety of moods, from the innocence and exuberance of childhood to the darker, more reflective mood of the final movements. The work forms an excellent concert suite, or any of its movements may be extracted for separate performance.

for SSA and organ This joyful carol sets a text by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The piece opens with an imitation of bells spread across the voices, and this festive, celebratory quality is maintained throughout. Simple yet elegant, Christmas Bells is ideal for any upper-voice choir.

The result is a striking work, with poignant and expressive harmonies, that is very approachable by mixed voiced choirs, and with short solos that can be taken by members of the choir.
