Bob Chilcott: And Every Stone Shall Cry: Chœur Mixte et Accomp.

This poignant and reflective carol is set to a poetic text by Richard Wilbur, inspired by verses from St. Luke's Gospel. The poem fortells not only of Christ's birth, but also his death. The contrasting, bittersweet emotions it portrays are captured perfectly by the wistful melody which prevails throughout. For SATB a cappella.
