I am delighted to have several former students amongst the contributors to my series and am pleased to welcome another excellent composer to their number. Christopher Gilliam is now Director of Choral Activities at Davidson College and has contributed this sensitive and vibrant setting of 17th century poet George Herbert's The Call. The images in this famous text are beautifully set here and should be expressed clearly, with gathering intensity and plenty of tempo flexibility.
