O give thanks unto the Lord de John Rutter

O give thanks unto the Lord

Compozitor John Rutter
en Limba Engleză Sheet music – 25 dec 2014
for SSA and organComposed in 1977, this triumphant setting of words from Psalms 136 and 67 is now published for the first time following the rediscovery of the lost manuscript. Rutter's early style is reminiscent of Britten, making a feature of parallel harmonies and scalic runs to impressive effect- ideal to revitalise the evensong repertoire of upper-voice choirs.

Recenzii

It is extraordinary to read that the manuscript of this 1977 piece was lost after its composition, hence its first publication in 2015. It could only have been written by Rutter. The texts are thoughtfully selected (verses from Psalms 136 and 67) and the words set with great care. The almost plainsong-like opening vocal lines, contrasting with a Britten-esque organ part, grow in richness and alternate with a more thoughtful 'for his mercy endureth for ever', which triggers the entry of 'God be merciful unto us, and bless us' from Psalm 67. An extended Gloria includes a thrilling crescendo on 'As it was in the beginning' and a blazing conclusion. It deserves to become standard repertoire for upper-voice choirs.
The adventuresome tonal language is tonal yet full of chromatic spice. Long scalar passages in the accompaniment keep the restless harmonic activity cycling with plenteous flashes of modal harmony. The vocal lines are moderately challenging, requring singers with some experience . . . We are fortunate that this early gem has come to light, and it will surely become a staple in treble choir repertoire.

Notă biografică

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.
