Five Days That Changed The World - Chilcott - SA/SATB Vocal Score
Composer: Bob Chilcott
Part/Version: Vocal score
Forces: SA, SATB, piano, & opt. timps
Setting a newly written text by Charles Bennett, this fifteen-minute choral work takes singers on a journey through five historical events: the invention of printing, the abolition of slavery, the first powered flight, the discovery of penicillin, and the first man in space. In each movement, music and words come together to create a strikingly vivid and personal account of each protagonist's experience, from the printer seeing 'each letter like a person' to the astronaut commenting on the beauty of our planet from space. Chilcott's music is as captivating as ever, with energy in abundance alongside moments of clarity and stillness. This is an ideal concert work for choirs looking to perform with an upper-voice group, or for larger SATB choruses with divisi sopranos and altos.
The optional timpani part is printed separately at the back of the score.
Contents:
- Thursday 29 March 1455: The Invention of Printing
- Friday 1 August 1834: The Abolition of Slavery
- Monday 14 December 1903: The First Powered Flight
- Friday 28 September 1928: The Discovery of Penicillin
