Hi all,
I cannot agree more. I love all of Rutter's stuff. I don't think
there is a more beautiful setting of the 23rd Psalm than the one from
his Requiem. The Gloria is indeed a wonderful piece.
I have sung a good deal of Rutter in my thirty years with Rochester
Oratorio Society. It's always both a pleasure and a challenge to sing
his works.
Some are stirring like military music. Others, like the theme from the
beginning of The Requiem are so melodic that it brings tears to your
eyes. Yep, definitely one of our modern composers who actually knows
how to write music. Some of these contemporary folks I wouldn't give
you two figs for, but Rutter's definitely on top!
