John Rutter Requiem and other sacred music. Produced by the composer this is the first recording of the ensemble version of John Rutter's radiant Requiem . Written in 1985, the work is not a conventional setting of the Requiem Mass but comprises a personal selection of texts from the Catholic liturgy and the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. John Rutter maintains intimate ties with Clare College and some of his anthems are left as a musical legacy to the college. Among these are two simple, tender blessings: Go forth into the world in peace , dedicated to the choir on the eve of its first tour to America; and a Clare Benediction , written as a gift to Rutter's alma mater. This recording is dedicated to the memory of Christopher Rutter.
