Of all the Christmas pieces I've been sent so far, this is the one that has stood out: I'll definitely be foisting it on my choir for this year's carol service. Kevin Crossley-Holland's icy, bracing text has provided ample inspiration for Chilcott, who has created a carol that is at once beautiful and faintly unsettling . . . The most magical moment for me is the return of the original melody on page 7, a moment to make the members of your congregation hold their breath.

Jonathan Wikeley, Music Teacher, Sept 09

for SATB unaccompanied Setting a contemporary poem by Kevin Crossley-Holland, The Heart-in-Waiting is a rich, expressive carol with sonorous chords and a deep, rich sound. Ideal for mixed-voice choirs looking for an evocative addition to the Christmas repertory.
