Reviews

'The charm and simplicity of Just as I am by Bob Chilcott will be immediately apparent in this compelling anthem ... The lilting melody is matched by an equally attractive counter-melody, and this piece is warmly recommended for choirs of almost any ability.' Church Music Quarterly 'A real gem ... Charlotte Elliot's familiar words are set simply but, one is happy to note, without gooey sentimentality ... There will be no difficulties for sensitive singers, but much to savour.' Choir and Organ
