I'd like to hear Rutter's version of the 23d psalm. I'll look for it online.
Sometimes one can hear music of parts of music online. There's a lovely version
of the choral movement of Beethoven's 9th on UTube, I think
it is.
I've refrained from mentioning this CD before because I don't know if it's
available anywhere, but the most beautiful version of the 23d Psalm I've heard,
with a beautiful trumpet descant, is on a CD called Amazing Grace. The CD
combines music performed by the bands of Welsh Guards, the Argyll and
Sutherland Highlanders and the Morriston Orpheus Choir. No more beautiful
voices than the Welsh, even though I also love the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and
others. But the Choir's version of the 23d Psalm, with slightly changed words,
and the trumpet descant, is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever
heard. It gets into my soul and moves me to tears, especially the trumpet part.
