Reviews

'Some welcome new repertoire for sopranos and altos here from a contemporary hero of British choral music, Bob Chilcott … the hugely talented Iain Farrington accompanies with characteristic taste and charm' (The Guardian)» More

'As a member of the King’s Singers and subsequently as a freelance composer, Chilcott has forged a convincing, unashamedly accessible synthesis of musical languages, drawing freely on jazz, folk and classical elements in his choral pieces' (Classic FM Magazine)» More

A Little Jazz Mass was first performed in 2004 by a choir of 400 young singers and jazz trio in St Louis Cathedral in New Orleans, and to my surprise this work has not only since been performed widely as a concert work, but also used liturgically in the service of Mass.
