Salisbury Vespers

for chorus, chamber choir, and children's choir, or large divisi chorus, with orchestra or organ and brass ensemble Salisbury Vespers combines settings of the traditional Vespers psalms and anonymous early texts. Marian motets punctuate the psalm settings, and the work is concluded with a substantial setting of the Magnificat.

Bob Chilcott has been involved with choral music all his life, first as a Chorister and then a Choral Scholar at King's College, Cambridge. Later, he sang and composed music for 12 years with the King's Singers. His experiences with that group, his passionate commitment to young and amateur choirs, and his profound belief that music can unite people, have inspired him both to compose full-time and, through proactive workshopping, to promote choral music worldwide.

Magnificat
Magnificat anima mea
Et exultavit
Quia respexit
Quia fecit mihi magna
Et misericorida
Fecit potentiam
Deposuit potentes de sede
Esurientes implevit bonis
Suscepit Israel
Sicut locutus est
Gloria Patri
Sicut erat in principio
