'Fragments from His Dish' is a choral work composed by Bob Chilcott in 2012. It was premiered on May 26, 2012, by the BBC Singers at St. Giles Cripplegate in London. The piece is divided into four movements, each of which is based on a different text. The first movement, "The Invitation," is a setting of a poem by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. It is a gentle and reflective piece, with a simple melody and lush harmonies. The second movement, "The Guest House," is based on a poem by Rumi. It is more rhythmic and energetic than the first movement, with a driving percussion accompaniment and a lively melody. The third movement, "The Journey," is a setting of a poem by Mary Oliver. It is a slow and contemplative piece, with a haunting melody and sparse harmonies. The final movement, "The Dance," is based on a poem by Rumi. It is the most upbeat and celebratory of the four movements, with a lively rhythm and a joyful melody. Overall, 'Fragments from His Dish' is a beautiful and moving work that showcases Chilcott's skill as a composer. The piece is characterized by its lush harmonies, simple melodies, and rhythmic energy. It is a testament to the power of choral music to convey deep emotions and connect people across cultures and time periods.
