Requiem 安魂曲

這是由作曲家本人製作的約翰-拉特光芒四射的《安魂曲》的首次合奏版錄音。這部作品創作於 1985 年，並非傳統意義上的安魂彌撒，而是個人從天主教禮儀和 1662 年《公禱書》中選取的經文。約翰-拉特與克雷爾學院保持著密切的聯繫，他的一些頌歌也作為音樂遺產留給了學院。其中有兩首簡單而溫柔的祝福歌：和平地走向世界》（Go forth into the world in peace），獻給首次赴美巡演前夕的合唱團；《克雷爾祝福》（A Clare Benediction），作為獻給魯特母校的禮物。此錄音獻給克里斯多夫-魯特

原文簡介:
Produced by the composer himself, 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.
