About the Book

for SSAATTBB unaccompanied The weather, the most quintessentially English of topics, was the inspiration for this work. Chilcott weaves together a tapestry of well-known weather rhymes, such as 'The rain it raineth every day upon the just and the unjust fella', and 'Whether the weather', in a work that is energetic, quirky, and entertaining. His choral writing is inventive and full of character, using layered rhythms and jazzy harmonies. This will be a fun piece to perform, and perfect as a light addition to any concert programme.

About the Author :
Bob Chilcott has become one of the world's most widely performed composers and arrangers of choral music. His compositional output reflects his wide taste in music styles and his commitment to writing music that is both singable and communicative. He has been involved in choral music most of his life he was a chorister and then a choral scholar in the choir of King's College, Cambridge, and was a member of the British vocal group The King's Singers for whom he made a number of popular arrangements of well-known songs from all genres. As well as being a full-time composer he is also a highly acclaimed choral conductor. He has been privileged to conduct many choirs all over the world. He is Principal Guest Conductor of The BBC Singers and in 2019 he was appointed Principal Conductor of Birmingham University Singers. His music has been widely recorded by many choirs and groups including The King's Singers, Tenebrae, and The BBC Singers.

Review :
'Weather Report is a classic closer, written in 2005 for the BBC Singers' tour of Japan, and is as virtuoso a piece of choral writing as it requires virtuosity to sing. Chilcott, in setting a series of whimsical sayings on familiar British weather patterns (rain, mostly), employs his fulll jazz-inspired palette of harmonic and vocal colour while the rhythms, often split into two or three layers as the work concludes, come together in bursts of thrilling unity. Expect to hear this number in a few choral competitions before long! In the right hands, it will take the roof off.' Matthew Greenall, The Singer, June 07 'Weather Report takes Chilcott back to his days with the King's Singers: close harmonies, witty music and texts, effortless choral virtuosity. The words here are indeed meteorological but mischievously altered, here with a pun, there a proverb. Thus 'Dirty days have September, April, June and November' to be sung 'steady and a bit sleazy', and so on. This would be a holiday to listen to, but very challenging to sing.' Peter Dale, Choir & Organ, May 07
