Recenzje

Meeting the needs of choirs who need a single melody line shared by tenors and basses, John Rutter has arranged nine of his most popular anthems for S, A and Men, including A Clare Benediction, A Gaelic Blessing, The Lord bless you and keep you, Open Thou mine eyes, and three great anthems for harvest or creation celebrations: All things bright and beautiful, For the beauty of the earth and Look at the world. At only £6.95 for the book of 64 pages, this is excellent value for money and provides a great resource for many parish choirs.

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.
