Talk:Requiem (Rutter)

I've performed John Rutter's Requiem many times, singing bass with various groups. It is a genuinely exquisite walk through the seven stages of grief, with one stage added: Joy in the Resurrection. The things that John Rutter does with chord progressions in this piece, and many others, is utterly modern yet instantly classical. It's just wonderful, and I never tire of hearing it or singing it. So beautiful, it hurts. Paricularly the juxtaposition of a flute playing the Easter Exultet melody on top of "I am the Resurrection and the Light..." at the end of the Agnus Dei.

Edits to be Made
When I get home / have time Ill add the full text, try to get a recording up, clean up and cite the article. Hopefully this will all be done in the next week or so... I also have to remember my Wikipedia username, ha. I'm actually performing this tonight... I'm excited. 108.20.187.128 (talk) 14:55, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
