Bob Chilcott: White waves on the water

for SSA double choir, piano, and flute obbligato This is a lyrical and compelling upper-voice setting of Joseph Mary Plunkett’s ‘White waves on the water’. Chilcott expertly employs the double SSA forces, resulting in a colourful array of textures and vocal combinations, from unison to six parts. The voices are accompanied by a florid flute obbligato and a piano accompaniment.
