Awards and reviews
Chilcott's familiar harmonic and rhythmic fingerprints are much in evidence in this highly approachable and attractive piece. The choral writing is in four parts throughout and is not difficult to master. The 7/8 Sanctus might catch you out on a first read-through but it's an infectious scherzo movement that is guaranteed to be enjoyed by performers and audiences alike. With OUP's beautifully produced vocal score, Chilcott's Requiem looks like a winner
The Requiem, set for soprano and tenor soloist, choir, organ, three woodwind instruments, horn and timpani, provides an inventive combination that subtly enhyances the text without overwhelming it. The Requiem comes out of the same genre as Faure and Durufle
