    You have to wonder. It's more than notes on a scale. And, there are only a few composers that truly embrace, our heart and soul. I have a theory...these men and women are Angels on loan; God's way of letting us know, we are His beloved children and each note is a tap on our shoulder, with God saying, Be Loving And Good To One Another.

    A jewel by and in itself - no need of other jewels. Rutter always leaves us with a deep feeling of hope over and above regret, dispair, pain or even suffering. And that is a touch of Inspiration with capital "I". Moreover whem death, separation, grief and farewell are the reasons to sing, to assemble with the choir, to tune with the orchestra. God bless those holding such natural human gifts.

    Don Donaldson's Heartland Singers performed this at Carnegie Hall on Thanksgiving Sunday November of 2001. What was also memorable was the fact that the World Trade Center attacks happened 2 months previous to our performance. On addition, Mr Rutter's son had passed away shortly before our performance. To say we were emotional..would be a huge understatement.

  • @datoming
    @datoming 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Agree with you - we must appreciate thergeat composition by English composer Rutter, who is still alive and deserves more accolade - his Christmas carols are popular & performed all over the world. I sang in the tenors of my chi choir this particular requiem in our local church in one Easter . The memory is with me in my life and has helped me in dealing with challenges in life including a recent major operation in hospital. The music is soothing as it makes connection with the divine for hope, forgiveness & healing.

    This in my humble opinion is the mother of all Requiems of the 20th Century. I love the melodies and harmony. Psalm 130 Out of the Deep is exquisite with its blue notes, and use of the solo Cello. Pie Jesu is equally so moving, it bring me to tears with the Boy Treble. Perfection! I am writing my own requiem, and wonder if I can now after hearing this masterpiece.
