for SATB and organ
This compelling anthem presents an assortment of historic sacred texts, artfully compiled by the composer to form a complete setting, with alternative text for Lenten use. Firmly rooted in the English cathedral tradition, it was composed to mark the 900th anniversary of the Priory Church of St Bartholomew the Great, Smithfield, and features a short organ interlude and baritone solo before the closing hymn-like section setting a John Wesley translation of a text by G. Tersteegen.

Über Autor(innen)

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.
