Nicholas Kok

Alleluia - Ding dong

Nicholas Kok is a musical all-rounder: he is a conductor, composer as well as a gifted pianist and accompanist who has already worked at numerous renowned institutions at home and abroad. He has composed for the BBC Singers, the Danish Radio VokalEnsemblet, the Hanke Brothers and the Junge Oper Stuttgart. "Alleluia" was commissioned by the Philharmonia Chorus Stuttgart, an ambitious amateur choir under the direction of Johannes Knecht, former director of the Stuttgart State Opera Chorus for many years. The result is a contemporary piece for mixed choir that is ideal for all choirs that have the confidence. The lively, joyful and varied character of the music ensures that the piece does not become boring even after long periods of rehearsal and - on the contrary - continues to open up. Nicholas Kok was inspired by the bell sounds of London, which opens up numerous performance opportunities for the work: as a festive prelude to a church service, to accompany joyful occasions in the church year (Christmas, resurrection, baptism, wedding...) or as a fiery opening or lively conclusion to a concert program.
