for unison children's choir, SATB choir, and piano or strings This beautiful song combines a melodic setting of Christina Rossetti's 'A Birthday' with Robert Burns's 'A Red, Red Rose', sung to the tune of a traditional Scottish ballad. Both themes are imbued with a sense of happiness and contentment with the world, and the interplay between the melodies results in a truly stirring finish. Also available for SATB and piano or strings.

This is Chilcott doing what he does rather well: writing music for massed singers - in this case for Chorus America's 30th anniversary confrerence and auction - who can learn it quickly and belt it out together, and a rollicking good time is had by all. The piece is in the Chilcott 'friendly' style; nothing to overly worry anyone, and nice tunes in all parts, which are shared around ... A surefire winner for SSA choirs in schools up and down the country. Music Teacher, January 2009
