'This is a magnificent volume'
'This is a magnificent volume'
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 in 2007 was awarded a CBE for services to music. In September 2023, he received the Ivors Academy Fellowship, and in 2024 he was knighted in the King’s Birthday Honours.
This 'Evensong' volume is a tremendous publication: carefully
chosen, authoritatively presented, and extremely good value for
money . . . Everyone with any interest in this repertoire will have
their own ideas about questionable inclusons and regrettable
omissions but the selection is solid . . . This anthology is
excellent, and its attention to detail is gratifying . . . This is
a magnificent volume. Durability of anthologies is a perennial
cause for concern, but my copy of European Sacred Music is still in
good nick after 15 years of heavy use; English Church Music vol. 2
should prove similarly imperishable.

But those who do buy it will greatly benefit, as there are insights
throughout, from the beginning (Blair's B minor service in its
original form rather than Atkins' rewriting as normally sung) to
the final Preces and Responses (Stone and Tomkins, both with new
reconstructions of their missing parts).
*Church Music Quarterly, June 2012*
This is quite a bold move in the series. English and Latin church
music is often sung in concert as well as in church, but it is rare
for Anglican services to be sung thus. I'm not very sure why, since
a morning or evening service is shorter than a mass and enables
programmes to be more flexible . . . I hope that this sells well to
collegiate and cathedral choirs, and other emulate them. As always
with the series, the layout is excellent, the biographical and
editorial comments are the right level, and I trust John Rutter's
proof-reading to make it unnecessary to do spot checks.
*Clifford Bartlett, Early Music Review*
Beide Bände sind als Grundausstattung und zur Einführung in die
anglikanische Chormusik hevorragend geeignet. [Both volumes offer
an excellent overview of and introduction to Anglican choral
music.]
*Dominik Axtmann, Musik und Kirche, January 14*
