Rutter: Requiem & other choral works (CD)John Rutter composed his Requiem in 1985. The work follows the precedents of Brahms and Faur in using carefully selected texts in place of much of the standard Missa Pro defunctis sequence. The resulting composition has an arch like formal structure within which is contained some of Rutters most haunting (and, in the case of The Lord is my shepherd, well known) choral music to date. Also included are two items from the Birthday Madrigals collection
