- Book Synopsis
- for SATB and small orchestra or piano This characterful trio of Shakespeare settings draws together popular texts from Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, and the sonnets into a charming and playful concert work. The witty 'O mistress mine' has a lilting, bluesy feel, while 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?' is highly evocative of its titular season. Finally, the waltz-like 'Sigh no more, ladies', complete with sweeping string gestures and a delightful 'hey nonny, nonny' refrain, brings the set to a high-spirited conclusion.
- About The Author
- John Rutter studied music at Clare College, Cambridge and first came to notice as a composer and arranger of Christmas carols and other choral pieces during those early years; today his compositions, including such concert-length works as Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, The Gift of Life, and Visions are performed around the world. John edits the Oxford Choral Classics series, and, with Sir David Willcocks, co-edited four volumes of Carols for Choirs. In 1983 he formed his own choir The Cambridge Singers, with whom he has made numerous recordings on the Collegium Records label, and he appears regularly in several countries as a guest conductor and choral ambassador. John holds a Lambeth Doctorate in Music, and in 2007 was awarded a CBE for services to music. In September 2023, he received the Ivors Academy Fellowship, and in 2024 he was knighted in the King's Birthday Honours.
