About Double chant in B major
Matthew Schellhorn's Double Chant in B major is a compelling addition to the Anglican chant tradition. Designed for SATB choir, this setting offers a rich harmonic palette and a clear, declamatory style characteristic of the genre. The composer's thoughtful approach to the text, typical of chants, ensures that the melodic lines are subservient to the liturgical words, facilitating congregational participation and careful enunciation. This work provides an excellent opportunity for choirs to engage with the profound simplicity and enduring spiritual power of Anglican chant, suitable for regular services or special occasions.
