About the author

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.

Summary

This volume comprises twenty-eight of the finest oratorio choruses and short choral works, all in carefully researched editions, with newly typeset orchestral materials available on hire and a separate volume of purpose-made organ accompaniments for use in church performances without orchestra.

Additional text

This is a remarkable collection . . . All are freshly edited from original sources and many have new English singing translations. With 380 pages and strong sewn binding the volume is excellent value for money . . . Rather than compromise in the keyboard accompaniments, those in the vocal score are for piano and for rehearsal, while, and this is wonderful for organists, an accompanying, large, wiro-bound organ volume provides three-stave organ accompaniments for all except four of the pieces. Overall, the selection and presentation is at least as much for church and cathedral use as for secular choirs.
