Chilcott Jazz songs of innocence

Piping down the valleys wild
The Lamb
The Little Boy Lost/The Little Boy Found
The Echoing Green
The Divine Image

Bass and Drum Kit optional
This vibrant collection presents five jazzy settings of poems from
William Blake's Songs of Innocence. Chilcott challenges the
expectation of the listener by setting each classic text in a
different jazz-inspired style-from the laid-back swing of 'The Echoing
Green' and ballad-like setting of 'The Lamb' to a lilting jazz waltz,
'The Little Boy Lost/The Little Boy Found'. The voices are underpinned
by a stylistic piano part, which may be played as written or serve as
a guide, and a part for bass and drum kit is available separately for
jazz trio accompaniment. Ideal for performance individually or as a
suite, these innovative songs will make a colourful addition to any
concert programme.
