The work follows the precedents of Brahms and Faure in using carefully selected texts in place of much of the standard Missa Pro defunctis sequence. The resulting composition has an arch-like formal structure within which is contained some of Rutter's most haunting (and, in the case of The Lord is my shepherd, well known) choral music to date.\\r\u003cbr\u003eAlso included are two items from the Birthday Madrigals collection composed in honour of the jazz pianist George Shearing, and eight further sacred works. The double-choir Hymn to the Creator of Light is a wonderful composition, far removed from the romantic style with which Rutter has sometimes been associated; the work here receives its first recording. The Lord bless you and keep you makes a most felicitous ending to the programme\\u2014one of those tunes that just will not leave your head.\u003cp\u003eRequiem For Soprano Solo, Choir, And Orchestra: Requiem aeternam\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRequiem For Soprano Solo, Choir, And Orchestra: Out Of The Deep\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRequiem For Soprano Solo, Choir, And Orchestra: Pie Jesu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRequiem For Soprano Solo, Choir, And Orchestra: Sanctus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRequiem For Soprano Solo, Choir, And Orchestra: Agnus Dei\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRequiem For Soprano Solo, Choir, And Orchestra: The Lord Is My Shepherd\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRequiem For Soprano Solo, Choir, And Orchestra: Lux aeterna\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHymn To The Creator Of Light\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod Be In My Head\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Gaelic Blessing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePsalmfest, No. 5: Cantate Domino\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen Thou Mine Eyes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Prayer Of Saint Patrick\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Choral Fanfare\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBirthday madrigals, No. 2: Draw On, Sweet Night\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBirthday madrigals, No. 4: My True Love Hath My Heart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lord Bless You And Keep You\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55143016399233,"sku":"822872","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51KLTsiuuCL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767647514","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/822872","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
