Bob Chilcott, described by The Observer as “a contemporary hero of British
Choral Music”, has become one of the most widely performed composers of
choral music in the world. He has a large catalogue of works published by Oxford
University Press which reflects his wide taste in musical styles and his
commitment to writing music that is both singable and communicative.
From his catalogue of larger works, Salisbury Vespers, written in 2009, was first
performed by over 600 singers and players in Salisbury Cathedral. His Requiem
of 2010 has now been performed in sixteen countries, and his large-scale
cantata, The Angry Planet, was premièred in the 2012 BBC Proms by 550 adult
and young singers. In March 2013 his St John Passion was premièred in Wells
Cathedral by the Cathedral Choir conducted by Matthew Owens. More recently
he wrote The King shall rejoice for the service at Westminster Abbey to celebrate
the 60th Anniversary of the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Of his smaller works, A Little Jazz Mass remains a favourite with choirs around
the world as do many of his pieces for children’s choir, including the piece with
sign language, Can you hear me? which was performed at the 2004 Song
Festival in Estonia by over 7000 children.
Between 1997 and 2004 he was conductor of the chorus of The Royal College of
Music in London and since 2002 he has been Principal Guest Conductor of The
BBC Singers. He has been privileged to conduct many choirs in some 30
countries over the last ten years, and over the coming months he will conduct in
Canada, the USA, Singapore, Korea, Japan, Germany, Denmark, and Norway.
There are five recordings of his music on the Signum label performed by The
BBC Singers, The King’s Singers, The Sirens, Wells Cathedral Choir, and The
NFL Wroclaw Philharmonic Choir. His Requiem is recorded on the Hyperion label
by the Choir of Wells Cathedral. In 2013 Naxos released discs recorded by The
Wellensian Consort and Commotio. His music has been recorded by many other
choirs and groups including Tenebrae, The Cambridge Singers, The Choir of
King’s College, Cambridge and The Choir of Westminster Abbey.
December 2015 sees the culmination of an 18-month project as The Choralis
Foundation’s Composer-in-Residence with the world première of the Gloria in
Washington DC.
