Bob Chilcott

Singing Children

for SSA and piano
Singing Children is an upbeat, optimistic piece. Bob has adapted a song from the Elizabethan play ‘Locrine’, attributed to Charles Tilney, with lyrics that profess the singers’ overwhelming, joyous love of singing. Ideal for any children’s choir concert.


Oliver Tarney

Shenandoah

for CCBar and piano
This beautiful arrangement of the well-loved folksong gradually grows from simple one- and two-part vocal writing to a delightful display of interweaving imitation in three parts, before an eventual ebbing away. The flowing piano accompaniment provides harmonic support throughout.

Oliver Tarney is currently Head of Composition and Singing at Winchester College. He has written widely for children and adults, amateurs and professionals. Major works include his Missa Media Nocte – published last year by OUP.


Sarah Quartel

I remember

for SABar and piano

I remember sets a text reflecting on the wonder of the natural world and the people who shape our lives. Also available in a version for upper voices and as a solo song.

Noel Rawsthorne

The Reindeer Carol

Noel Rawsthorne (1929 – 2019) was a pupil of Harold Dawber at the Royal Manchester College of Music and in 1958, the Liverpool Bluecoat Society of Arts gave him an award provided by the Gulbenkian Foundation which enabled him to continue his studies, first in Italy with Fernando Germani and then in Paris with Marcel Dupré. He was organist at Liverpool Cathedral from 1955 to 1980. Whilst there, he composed for both choir and organ. A fruitful collaboration with Peter Kennerley produced a number of effective choral pieces for children.

Copies available here.

arr. Janet Wheeler

There Was a Pig Went Out to Dig

This light-hearted arrangement of a traditional Christmas folksong is for children’s choir in unison with piano. Rhythmic vocal sound effects are added to each verse and these build up cumulatively as the song progresses. A coda recalls each of the animals met previously, with a brief reminder of their rhythm before the music comes to an emphatic ending.
