Music Notes:
Thomas Adams (1850-1918) was born in England, and was one of many composers to contribute to the large volume of organ music composed for concert performances and church services in the 1800s. The prelude and postlude are part of an unbroken
strand of English "Romantic" music even found in the present day. His music is easy on the ears, and his stylistic characteristics clearly reflect his Victorian age.
John Rutter (1945-) born in London England, received his first musical training as a chorister at Highgate School; studied music at Clare College (Cambridge) where he wrote his first published compositions and conducted his first recordings; Director of Music at Clare College (1975-79); formed Cambridge Singers as a professional chamber choir primarily dedicated to recording; divides time among composing, conducting, lecturing (concert halls, universities, churches, music festivals, conferences) in Europe, Scandinavia, North America. Honorary Fellow of Westminster Choir College Princeton (1980); Fellow of the Guild of Church Musicians (1988); Lambeth Doctorate of Music (1996). Compositions: large and small choral works, orchestra and instrumental pieces, piano concerto, two children's operas, television music. "Sanctus" is from his
"Requiem (1985)".
