Opis

This work is for SATB, flute, and guitar (or piano with optional flute). This is a beautiful setting of Psalm 128. Tranquil vocal lines, accompanied by lilting, atmospheric flute and guitar, capture perfectly the optimistic nature of the text. Although the words of this anthem are closely associated with wedding services, it is also suitable for general use. The flute and guitar parts are on sale as a set.

Recenzje

. . .and is the sort of elegantly beautiful, mellifluous nugget of a piece that, frankly, no one else is quite capable of.

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.
