Bob Chilcott: The Beatitudes

Informatie

for SATB and organ This beautiful setting of the Beatitudes from Matthew's gospel exemplifies the composer's skill and versatility in writing for mixed voices. He leads the choir smoothly through a range of keys and moods, from the gentle simplicity of the opening 'Blessed are the poor in spirit' to the more dramatic and colourful 'Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you'.
