John Rutter

Opis

for SATB (with divisions) and organ In this well-known hymn, Herbert Howells sets a text by Robert Bridges to a hymn tune of his own composition, creating a hymn which has become a firm favourite all over the world. The first three verses do not stray from Howells' original setting, but John Rutter reharmonizes Verses 4 and 5 and adds a descant to the final verse, which was approved by Howells himself. This version of the hymn was recorded by the Cambridge Singers, directed by John Rutter, on the Collegium album I will lift up mine eyes: Sacred music by Stanford and Howells (COLCD 118).

O autorze

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.
