SATB and piano, with optional bass and drum kit This dynamic collection presents four jazzy settings of favourite madrigals by Thomas Morley, John Bennet, and Orlando Gibbons. The first, 'Sing we and Chant it', is a relaxed jazz waltz with a compelling melody, and singers will especially revel in the rich harmonies of the expressive 'Weep, O mine eyes' setting that follows. 'Learned Poets' has a bossa nova feel with a strong rhythmic groove and characterful syncopations, and the urgent rolling tempo of movement four captures the text's calamity and titular call of 'Fire, fire!', also expressed by a walking bassline that continually drives towards the work's emphatic conclusion. The stylistic piano part may be played as written or serve as a guide, and a bass and drum kit part is available separately for trio accompaniment.

This engaging musical drama follows the quest of Pip the Sparrow to be accepted into the Dawn Chorus. Along the way Pip meets characters like the Doc Rock Peacocks, who promise to transform the sparrow into a star, and the troubled residents of The Bewilderness. With the help of two friendly owls, Pip meets singing sensation Shamira the Golden Nightingale and discovers a great secret, causing the sparrow to at last understand the power of having a song that is completely their own. As well as the rich variety of solo roles, which feature spoken narration, the work provides great dramatic potential for the unison and mixed choruses, who play an integral role in the storytelling. The memorable, eminently singable melodies are complimented by a characterful orchestration, for 10-part instrumental ensemble, with Chilcott drawing on a broad range of musical styles. Exploring themes of identity, inclusivity, and self-belief, this heart-warming work is a testament to the unifying, healing power of music.
for SATB and piano In A Song of Blue, Chilcott explores the power of music through the metaphor of nature.

The upper voices begin by singing in unison, reflecting the peace and stillness of the words, before expanding into larger, more complex textures and yearnful harmonies.
for SABar and piano A simple and beautiful setting describing the wonder of a world seen through the eyes of a deaf child. In the refrain, singers are encouraged to sign the words they are singing, resulting in profoundly moving but unsentimental music. Originally published in a version for upper voices.
for SATB double choir unaccompanied Chilcott sets this beautiful new text by Charles Bennett in a lush style. The vivid imagery is brought to life through the composer's warm harmonic palette. The Pear Tree Carol is a contemplative celebration of new life and nature. It would be equally suited to a winter concert or Christmas carol service.
for SSA and piano The time draws near is instantly recognisable as Chilcott. The text, by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, describes the feeling of anticipation before the birth of Christ. Chilcott has set these words using a pure and effective melody in the verses, complimented by jubilant refrains of 'Gloria in excelsis Deo'.
for SSAA and piano Our Roots is an upbeat setting of evocative words by Delphine Chalmers on the themes of unity and commonality. An effective syncopated, single-note motif in the piano underpins the piece, rooting the tonality and providing a firm ostinato around which the music blossoms. Chilcott's word-painting - in places such as the drawing together of the four-part choral texture into unison on the words 'yours and mine the same' and the use of the piano's upper and lower registers as the text looks to roots and sky - creates a great sense of unity between music and lyrics. Powerful key changes and a strong rhythmic drive create an affirmatory setting that is sure to uplift both singer and listener.
for CCBar, piano, and opt. alto sax Red Boots On is a funky setting of a poem by Kit Wright, brought to life by Chilcott's jazzy chords and groovy syncopated rhythms.

This new arrangement for cambiata voices also includes an optional alto saxophone part. Also available in a version for upper voices and piano.
