Confessions of a prole.
Frankly, I have never heard of John Rudder (did he sing "I'm walking the
floor over you?").
Seriously, now when the chance comes I will listen to his music with a
little more knowledge than I had before thanks to my booksharian friends.
Bob (tasteless when it comes to music)
But, thankful when it comes to my friends.

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!
Ann P.
