for mezzo-soprano and baritone soloists, SATB chorus, and piano,
orchestra, or brass ensemble The story of Good King Wenceslas on
the Feast of Stephen is presented here as a vivid musical
narrative, with solo parts for the characters of Wenceslas
(baritone) and Page (mezzo-soprano). Chilcott sets new words by
Charles Bennett to a colourful array of styles to recount their
snow-bound story. The choir sets the scene before Wenceslas and
Page meet in 'Who can that be?', and the story-telling continues in
several contrasting movements, including a touching solo ballad
from Page entitled 'Thank you' and the strong yet reflective
closing movement, 'On St Stephen's Night'. The full five verses of
the well-known carol are skilfully interwoven throughout the work
in different parts, with the final verse being sung by the audience
or a semi-chorus, and the movements are punctuated by an
instrumental interlude and triumphant fanfare. An orchestral
accompaniment is available on hire/rental.
