Composer’s note
When I was a choir and ensemble singer I always loved to perform pieces
influenced by jazz. The style creates a real sense of energy and presents
an interesting choral challenge in terms of blend, intonation, rhythm,
phrasing, and making often well-known songs sound natural and true. In
this book I have taken nine folk-song tunes and tried to create a palette of
different jazz-influenced styles and colours that I hope choirs will enjoy
working at. The songs can be performed by choir and piano, or by choir
and jazz trio (piano, bass, and drums), and other instruments could also
be added to the ensemble. The piano parts work well as notated in the
book, but many players might like to improvise and solo, which would be
fine too.
Structurally, most of the songs work best if performed as written.
However, there is the opportunity in both ‘Tuoll’ on mun kultani’ and
‘Waltzing Matilda’ to include a repeated section for solo instrumentalists
or scat singers; instructions are written in the score. The Andalusian song
‘En la Macarenita’ was written for the inspirational Cuban vocal group
Novel Voz, which is lucky enough to have within its ranks a singer who is
wonderful at beatboxing, or vocal percussion.These kinds of effects would
work really well in this song, should a member of the choir be willing to
give them a go!
I would like to thank the editors Robyn Carpenter and Mary Chandler for
their work on this volume, and also the pianist Alex Hawkins for his annotation
of the bass parts and for playing on the backing CD (included with
the spiral-bound edition) with Michael Chilcott and Derek Scurll.

London, by Stephen Harrington. Mastered by Tim Turan at Turan Audio.

This exciting new collection by Bob Chilcott gives a jazzy twist to nine
favourite folk songs from around the world, including ‘Scarborough Fair’,
‘À la claire fontaine’, and ‘Waltzing Matilda’ as you’ve never heard them
before! Each song is presented in its original language, and an English
singing translation is provided where applicable. The accompanied songs
can be performed with piano solo or with jazz-trio accompaniment—a
separate part is available for the bassist, and the drummer should play
along ad lib. They can also be performed with the fantastic jazz-trio
backings on the CD included with the spiral-bound edition. From the cool,
bossa nova-style ‘En la Macarenita’ to the gently expressive ‘Sakura’, this
wonderful, varied collection will revitalize the repertoire of any choir and
is guaranteed to give audiences a fresh perspective on these enduringly
popular songs.
has been involved with choral music all his life, first as
a Chorister and then a Choral Scholar at King’s College, Cambridge.
Later, he sang and composed music for 12 years with the King’s Singers.
His experiences with that group, his passionate commitment to young
and amateur choirs, and his profound belief that music can unite people,
have inspired him both to compose full-time and, through proactive
workshopping, to promote choral music worldwide.
