Editorial Review

Arise shine (1999), commissioned by Westminster Cathedral for an Advent service, and Come down, O Love divine (1998), composed for the combined choirs of Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral and St Paul’s Cathedral, are both première recordings. The latter anthem stems from a source of lesser-known, more intricate works by Rutter, among which the earlier Hymn to the Creator of light must be included. With its dense double-chorus and rich lyricism, Come down, O Love divine is infused with a heritage steeped in the fertile chromaticism of Herbert Howells and opulent scoring of William Harris.

With the perfectionist attitude he brings to his rôles as composer, conductor, arranger and producer, it is not hard to understand why John Rutter’s music is performed and recognised in abundance the world over. From the musical fervour of Highgate School in the 1950s soon emerged a unique voice, one that has never fallen silent in over half a century.
