The weather the most quintessentially English of topics was the inspiration for Bob Chilcott's Weather Report written for the BBC Singers' tour of Japan last summer. Chilcott weaves togethera 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 charecter using layered rhythms and jazzy harmonies. This will be a fun piece to perform and perfect as a light addition to any concert programme.
