Format : Vocal Score
This vibrant collection presents five jazzy settings of poems from William Blake's Songs of Innocence. Chilcott challenges the expectation of the listener by setting each classic text in a different jazz-inspired style-from the laid-back swing of 'The Echoing Green' and ballad-like setting of 'The Lamb' to a lilting jazz waltz 'The Little Boy Lost/The Little Boy Found'. The voices are underpinned by a stylistic piano part which may be played as written or serve as a guide and a part for bass and drum kit is available separately for jazz trio accompaniment. Ideal for performance individually or as a suite these innovative songs will make a colourfuladdition to any concert programme.for SSA piano and optional bass and drum kit
