The Swallow Reviews

'[Chilcott's] enthusiasm for young and amateur choirs amounts to a passionate mission, and he works consistently to promote choral music world-wide . . . As much of it is in unison and always very melodic, even an inexperienced choir could manage it, perhaps taught by rote. * Music Teacher July 2000 *
'Chilcott has always been an effective writer of songs for young people's choirs and two more publications, The Swallow, a sweetly melancholic setting of a traditional Newfoundland melody and Green Songs, four environmental numbers with words as well as music from the composer, bear out his reputation . . . * The Singer Oct 99 *
