Bob Chilcott: The Face of Peace

for SATB and organ or brass and percussion. A beautiful setting (to an English translation) of verses by the French poet Paul Eluard. Chilcott combines the gentleneess of the vision of the poem with a cast-iron strength that comes out of its message – a message which is as poignant today as it was then. An accompaniment for brass and percussion (2 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, bass trombone, timpani, and suspended cymbal) is available on hire.
