Following the success of the mixed-voice edition of Furusato, Bob
Chilcott has adapted his arrangements of five evocative Japanese songs
for upper voices. Each poem depicts the beauty of the Japanese
landscape, and familiar melodies combine with Chilcott's original
style to create an enchanting fusion of East and West. Suitable for
performance as a suite or as stand-alone pieces, these charming and
emotive songs will be a welcome addition to the repertoire of any
upper-voice choir.
