The music is based on the lovely original plainsong and is often sonorous, mostly readily singable . . . and occasionally impassioned . . . In conclusion, this is thoughful music and, while it will be a challenge to make it effective in performance, it reinforces this composer's growing reputation for craftsmanship and integrity.
Marcus Huxley, Mastersinger, Spring 06
for SSAATTBB unaccompanied
Advent Antiphons is an exquisite concert setting of the Great O Antiphons. Chilcott's writing for double choir is masterful; he embroiders a beautifully-textured work in which echoes of plainchant combine with richly expressive harmony. Without doubt, this is some of Chilcott's finest music: subtle yet potent, haunting and uplifting.
Vocal scores are also available on hire/rental.
