Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; and the word that you hear is not mine, but is from the Father who sent me. ”I have said these things to you while I am still with you.

We offer our gratitude to the singers who have joined us for this special program, and to the orchestra, many of whom are members of our South Church community. Music Notes The Composer Today we are presenting music of British composer John Rutter. Rutter was born in London in 1945 and received his first musical training 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 an undergraduate. His compositional career has embraced both large and small scale choral works, various orchestra 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 most recent larger choral works, Requiem (1985) and Magnificat (1990), have been performed many times in Britain, the USA, 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. He has guest-conducted or lectured at many concert halls, universities, churches, music festivals, and conferences in Europe, Scandinavia, and North America. In 1980 he was made an honorary Fellow of Westminster Choir College, Princeton, and in 1988 a Fellow of the Guild of Church Musicians. The Music The prelude and postlude feature three movements from Suite Antique , scored for flute, harpsichord, and strings. The introit All Things Bright and Beautiful is based on the well- known hymn by the same name.

  • 附錄一魯特與研究者往返之電子郵件研究者之提問一jan. 15, 2007 Dear
    附錄一 魯特與研究者往返之電子郵件 研究者之提問一 Jan. 15, 2007 Dear Mr. Rutter: I'm a graduate student major in Choral Conducting at the National Taiwan Normal University. I am a big fan of you and your works; therefore I take your master piece "Gloria" as my graduation master thesis. May I ask you two questions about you and your work which I could not find thru other sources? 1. Other than Sir David willcocks at Clare College, who else, from your own point of view, also gave you great influence on your music style? 2. Are you a religious person? Does religion play an important role in your works? Thank you for your time and look forward to receiving your reply. Sincerely yours Chen, Chu-Yang - 161 - 魯特之回覆一 Jan. 20, 2007 Dear Chu Yang, Thank you for your questions, which I will try to answer rather briefly: 1.Sir David Willcocks (who was Organist and Choir Director at King's College Cambridge, not Clare which was my college next door) was not really an influence on my musical style, more of a general inspiration as someone who took an interest in me and my work and who thought my compositions deserved to be published. He introduced me to my publisher, Oxford University Press. He did write beautifully for choir, and some of his choral textures did, I suppose, find his way into my writing (though not in the Gloria). I would point to other composers as the main influences on the Gloria: William Walton (who wrote festive, ceremonial music so well), Stravinsky (who I think was the model for the style of the second movement) and Poulenc (who maybe influenced the third movement opening with its short phrases and 3/4 - 4/4 alternation).
