Besetzung: Soli (Sopran, Alt), gemischter Chor (SSAATTBB)
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.
