    The Cambridge Singers Christmas Album directed by JOHN RUTTER AROLS AND CHRISTMAS MUSIC have always formed a part of the CCambridge Singers’ recorded repertoire, and this album picks out some of my The Cambridge Singers personal favourites. Most of the 23 items are taken from the two albums Christmas with the Cambridge Singers and Christmas Day in the Morning, and there are four previously unreleased tracks which were squeezed out of those two albums and which I am happy Christmas Album to have found space for here. There are three strands to the programme: traditional carols; choruses and motets; and composers’ carols. In fact these categories are not as separate as they might appear. Composers have always loved to take traditional melodies and incorporate them into their own compositions, sometimes considerably elaborating them in the process: think of all those L’homme armé masses or of Bach’s chorale treatments. The art of the arranger, widely thought of as a twentieth-century invention, is as old as composition itself. When we listen to a ‘traditional’ carol sung by a choir, we are in fact generally hear- ing the work of an identifiable composer who has arranged, in his own style, a melody by an unidentifiable or obscure composer from an earlier era. The earliest examples on this album are Victoria’s O magnum mysterium (1572), a four-voiced motet where the melodic outlines are based on a Gregorian chant, and Scheidt’s In dulci jubilo (1620), which takes one of the best-loved of all Christmas carols and turns it into a resplendent double-choir motet with two antiphonal trumpet parts.

  • Reflections on Chilcott's Requiem by Members of the Chancel Choir
    Reflections on Chilcott’s Requiem y b Members of the ChancelReflections Choir on Chilcott’s Requiem by Members of the Chancel Choir Reflections on Chilcott’s Requiem by Members of the Chancel Choir Reflections on Chilcott’s Requiem by Members of the Chancel Choir Requiem Bob Chilcott Robert “Bob” Chilcott, born in 1955, is a British choral composer, conductor, and singer. He sang in the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, both as a boy and as a university student. In 1985 he joined the King’s Singers, singing tenor for 12 years. Chilcott began composing in 1997, and has had remarkable success since that time. TheRequiem was premiered on March 13, 2010, at the Sheldonian in Oxford, England, by the Oxford Bach Choir and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It was first performed in the United States at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church, Dallas, Texas. Requiem is dedicated to Chilcott’s niece, who died at age 23, while he was composing the piece. It is beautifully reflective, and at the same time is given focus and direction by the composer’s keen sense of melody and innate feeling for rhythm, be it in the lyrical, rolling tenor solo in the Angus Dei, or the crystal simplicity of the Pie Jesu; the gently pulsing first few bars of the Introit, or the driving irregular beats of the Sanctus. The work’s components develop at different paces—it is hard to put a finger on one particular moment of arrival. The Sanctus, with its dance-like patterns, provides the dynamic peak of Requiem; the Pie Jesu perhaps offers the emotional center of the work; and Thou Knowest, Lord presents a central point for the text.

  • [Program Notes for the Gift of Life, by Pamela Grooms] John Rutter Was Born in London in 1945 and Received His First Musical
    [Program notes for The Gift of Life, by Pamela Grooms] John Rutter was born in London in 1945 and received his first musical education as a chorister at Highgate School. He went on to study music at Clare College, Cambridge, where he wrote his first published compositions and conducted his first recording while still a student. His compositional career has embraced both large and small-scale choral works, orchestral and instrumental pieces, a piano concerto, two children’s operas, music for television, and specialist writing for such groups as the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble and the King’s Singers. His larger choral works, Gloria (1974), Requiem (1985), Magnificat (1990), Psalmfest (1993) and Mass of the Children (2003) have been performed many times in Britain, North America, and a growing number of other countries. From 1975 to 1979 he was Director of Music at Clare College, whose choir he directed in a number of broadcasts and recordings. After giving up the Clare post to allow more time for composition, he formed the Cambridge Singers as a professional chamber choir primarily dedicated to recording, and he now divides his time between composition and conducting. In 1996 the Archbishop of Canterbury conferred a Lambeth Doctorate of Music upon him in recognition of his contribution to church music. He was honored in the 2007 Queen’s New Year Honours List, being awarded a CBE for services to music. (www.johnrutter.com) John Rutter’s long-awaited new major work The Gift of Life is a six-movement choral celebration of the living earth, of creation, and of life itself, offering a kaleidoscope of moods from contemplative and prayerful to majestic and inspirational.

  • Order of Service for the Commonwealth Service 2020
    The Commonwealth Service A Celebration of the Commonwealth Monday, 9th March 2020, 3.00 pm Commonwealth Day Message 2020 On Commonwealth occasions, it is always inspiring to be reminded of the diversity of the people and countries that make up our worldwide family. We are made aware of the many associations and influences that combine through Commonwealth connection, helping us to imagine and deliver a common future. This is particularly striking when we see people from nations, large and small, gathering for the Commonwealth Games, for meetings of Commonwealth governments, and on Commonwealth Day. Such a blend of traditions serves to make us stronger, individually and collectively, by providing the ingredients needed for social, political and economic resilience. Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to see and hear how membership of the Commonwealth family means so much to those living in all parts of the world, often in places that are quite remote. Advances in technology and modern media have now enabled many more people to witness and enjoy - with remarkable immediacy - this experience of Commonwealth connection, in areas such as education, medicine and conservation. Looking to the future, this connectivity means we are also aware, perhaps as never before, that wherever we live, our choices and actions affect the well-being of people and communities living far away, and in very different circumstances. For many, this awareness awakens a desire to employ our planet’s natural resources with greater care, and it is encouraging to see how the countries of the Commonwealth continue to devise new ways of working together to achieve prosperity, whilst protecting our planet.
