  • Composer/Author: CHILCOTT, BOB
  • Instrumentation: SATB A CAP
  • Model # 9780193412965
Lyrics: William Shakespeare
Music: Bob Chilcott
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: SATB a cappella

This spellbinding setting of words from Act 1, Scene 1, of Hamlet depicts a bird of dawning singing all night long in celebration of the Saviour's birth, with Shakespeare's characteristically evocative imagery heightened by Chilcott's artful word-setting. The harmonies are rich and the atmosphere hushed and expectant, with a soaring soprano solo line, which may be taken by a soloist from within the choir, evoking the birdsong.
Duration: 2:30
