Songs and Cries of London Town by Bob Chilcott and varied Choral cantata in five movements for STAB Choir, upper-voice Choir, piano duet, and optional percussion. The two outer movements draw Their words and inspiration from boisterous cries of 17th century market vendors as once featured in 'The Cries of London' by Orlando Gibbbons. The second movement features The words of a Scottish poet, William Dunbar (c. 1460-c.1520), in which he praises The English capital, and includes The line 'London, thou art The flower of cities all'. TogeTher, These settings evoke a surprisingly contemporary impression of London's sights, sounds, and moods, inspiring some irresistible music, by turns contemplative and unquenchably thrilling. This 'capital' cantata was written in 2001 for The Diamond Jubilee of The Barnet Choral Society, of which Chilcott is President. less

ABOUT The PIECE:
Composer Vijay Singh writes: “The Lord's Prayer was inspired by Oliver Messian's Choral masterpiece "O Sacrum Convivium", with its use of dense harmony, existentialism, hypnotic transcendental tonal treatment, and grateful piety.” The composer decided to use The universal "Lord's Prayer" text and various musical ideas to communicate The power and hope of this prayer. The piece builds to climax at "For Thine is The Power and Glory forever!" and ends reflectively, savoring The "Amen".

Composer Vijay Singh is Professor in The music department at Central Washington University. This video is from a Concert presented on The CWU Campus.in May, 2014 entitled: “The CWU Choirs and Friends sing songs of Singh” In that Concert, 28 of Singh’s pieces were performed by 6 Choirs, including two invited guest high School Choirs.
