The White Field : Vocal score
Bok av Bob Chilcott
for SATB double choir, children's choir, and piano
Setting a text by Charles Bennett, The White Field presents a dreamlike scene in which blackbirds plant songs in the cold earth and await the growth of their music. Chilcott's melodies echo through the voices, and the piano part provides harmonic support and rhythmic energy to the voice parts with chordal and semiquaver figurations.
