John Rutter is one of these wonderful composers that has the rare ability to bring warmth within me listening to his stuff. What a great skill. I’m really glad to be one of your listeners. Thank you

I loved singing this, and other works by John Rutter, at the workshop in Yately on Saturday 18th February. Our performance wasn’t as polished as this, but just as heartfelt. Thank you!

Hello John. Our choir Balsham Singers are performing the Requiem on Sat 19th May at 7.30 in Holy Trinity Church Balsham. We persuaded our Musical Director to do it as he wasn’t a fan previously but now he loves it describing part of it as “Cleo Lane does smoky jazz club”. As it’s local to you we would love it if you could come.

Dear Helen,
Thanks for your message. We don’t sell any backing track CD of John’s work, and unfortunately I’ve never seen any. Some of the arrangements might work unaccompanied.
Sorry not to be able help more.
Matthew

I just wanted to say thanks for all the beautiful music. I listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir each Sunday and many of their songs were written by John Rutter. Th spiritual quality of the songs is great. Mr. Rutter is truly using his marvelous gift

Hi John, I have loved singing your music for many years both at school choir during my teenage years and at my church choir. I am now Head of Music at a small secondary school and we now find ourselves without a pianist so it’s rather a headache to try and perform your works. I wondered if you had any backing track CDs available? The orchestral accompaniments heard on many of the recordings are especially beautiful. As we are only a small choir (SSA) are there any backing tracks for different arrangements of the works?

Thanks

Dear John Rutter,
I am writing to convey my gratitude and admiration for your generous contributions to the world of music. Your work is creative and uplifting. I believe your listeners, and surely your Cambridge Singers, are better people by exposure to your sacred music.
During my college years at Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah, USA, I sang in various choirs, including the Men’s Chorus led by Mack Wilberg. We sang a few of your compositions. Your recordings have been a staple in my family’s home for twenty years.
Anyone who writes with the adoration of Christ, as you do, must be familiar with, and close to His Spirit. May you continue the good work of bettering this world, and be blessed in your efforts, is my hope.
