Songs and Cries of London Town by Bob Chilcott and varied choral cantata in five movements for STAB choir, upper-voice choir, piano duet, and optional percussion. The two outer movements draw their words and inspiration from boisterous cries of 17th century market vendors as once featured in 'The Cries of London' by Orlando Gibbbons. The second movement features the words of a Scottish poet, William Dunbar (c. 1460-c.1520), in which he praises the English capital, and includes the line 'London, thou art the flower of cities all'. Together, these settings evoke a surprisingly contemporary impression of London's sights, sounds, and moods, inspiring some irresistible music, by turns contemplative and unquenchably thrilling. This 'capital' cantata was written in 2001 for the Diamond Jubilee of the Barnet Choral Society, of which Chilcott is President. less

Stars that spill on a melting stem
of brilliance down to earth,
make landfall here like swans
who are burnt by flight.
We find an orphan of ashes,
a child of chilled obsidian:
in the middle of winter we nurture
the seeds of stars.
On days of silver light
at the end of summer,
they’ll lift away to resume
their long migration.
You who’ve been told
There’s nothing, nothing to be done,
you who have come to a place
of broken stones,
remember us
who have sparked a star from dust,
and seen its wings ignite
the darkling sky. less
