It begins with a lyrical soprano soloist singing with a very light accompaniment, with only slight involvement of the chorus echoing the words "Dona eis requiem, Dona eis sempiternam requiem".The fourth movement is the Sanctus (with Benedictus) and, characteristically, it is a bright, lively, and exclamatory movement which is brightly orchestrated with bells, flute, and oboe and occasional timpani recalling the passage in Old Testament scripture in Isaiah chapter 6, and the worship of the six-winged seraphim in the heavenly throne-room of God.The fifth movement is the Agnus Dei in the version used in the Tridentine Requiem Mass.The sixth movement is Psalm 23, another psalm commonly used at Anglican funerals.The seventh movement includes words from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer Burial Service ("I heard a voice from heaven.") and the communion chant from the Tridentine Requiem Mass (Lux aeterna). Neither of these French composers set the Dies Irae, preferring a rather more benign view of paradise. Removing various parts of the mass didn’t stop both Duruflé’s (1948) and Fauré’s (1890) being recognised as bona fide masterpieces.

Rutter has a long and fruitful history with the Clare College Choir, having led them himself in quite a few outstanding recordings. Instrumental accompaniment (single flute, oboe, cello, harp, and timpani, plus percussion) is spare, but expert and tasteful. It consoles, implores, worships, affirms, reassures, and mystifies-everything that a good requiem is supposed to do. This is one of Rutter's finest and most convincing works. And he knows how to hold such a comparatively larger-scale composition together, too.
Rutter's setting is based largely on one of the Gregorian chants with which the text is associated. The familiar opening words are those of the angels proclaiming the birth of Jesus, as found in the second chapter of Luke's Gospel. The words come from the second section (the Hymn of Praise) of the Ordinary of the Mass, which in the liturgy follows the 'Kyrie'. The recording is rounded out with five settings of traditional songs and five childhood lyrics.Songlist: Five sacred Pieces:, I my Best Beloved's am, Cantate Domino, Musica Dei Donum, Deck the Hall, Hymn to the Creator of Light, Birthday Madrigals:, It was a lover and his lass, Draw on, sweet night, Come live with me, My true love hath my heart, When daisies pied, Five traditional Songs:, The girl I left behind me, O waly, waly, The British Grenadiers, Golden slumbers, Dashing Away With The Smoothing Iron, Five Childhood Lyrics:, Monday's child, The Owl and the Pussy-Cat, Windy nights, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Sing A Song Of Sixpence 7269c | 1 CD $15.98 German Choral MusicPolyphony : John Rutter - Gloria and other Sacred MusicReview: Gloria (a concert work, despite the use of a religious text) was commissioned by the Voices of Mel Olson in Omaha, Nebraska, who invited Rutter to direct the first performance in 1974. The first set of five sacred pieces includes the amazingly beautiful wedding song, "I my Best-Beloved's am," which combines sacred Latin texts with an English love poem, the jubilant "Cantate Domino" and virtuosic "Deck the hall." The set of Birthday Madrigals, written for jazz pianist George Shearing combine madrigal era texts in very jazzy settings, three of them include double-bass. This dynamic CD shows the stylistic and subject variety found in Rutter's music.

The use of organ, brass and percussion makes for plenty of Waltonian punch in the outer movements and yet also for a hauntingly ethereal middle section.
