Description
for TTBB and piano or organ, or unaccompanied This collection of nine of John Rutter's most popular choral works, arranged by the composer for tenors and basses, has been carefully compiled to reflect a wide variety of texts and styles. Encompassing both sacred and secular pieces, the collection provides a valuable and attractive body of repertoire for TTBB choirs.
About the Author
John Rutter studied music at Clare College, Cambridge and first came to notice as a composer and arranger of Christmas carols and other choral pieces during those early years; today his compositions, including such concert-length works as Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, The Gift of Life, and Visions are performed around the world. John edits the Oxford Choral Classics series, and, with Sir David Willcocks, co-edited four volumes of Carols for Choirs. In 1983 he formed his own choir The Cambridge Singers, with whom he has made numerous recordings on the Collegium Records label, and he appears regularly in several countries as a guest conductor and choral ambassador. John holds a Lambeth Doctorate in Music, and was awarded a CBE for services to music in 2007.
Reviews
The choral writing is extremely rewarding and effective. Every voice part is singable, written to be logical and without technical challenge, meaning these pieces are extremely accessible for amateur choirs. [] Anyone who loves Rutter particularly amateur choirs will find this collection a valuable addition to their repertoire. * Andreas Frese, Chorzeit Magazine, January 2023 *
