Editorial Reviews
Review
The simplified, pared-down textures of this revived Requiem were a revelation, and seemed to add, rather than detract from the work's power to move. The Oxford University Press Choral Classics series has continued to be a vehicle for Rutter's work as editor and to showcase interesting historical curiosities . . . Fauré's economical interweaving of the vocal lines seems only to magnify the music's poignancy and limpid purpose. (Matthew Greenall, The Singer, April 2004 )

John Rutter's arrangement of Fauré's Requiem
This is a vocal score for soprano and baritone solo with SATB chorus and organ accompaniment of the 1893 version of Fauré's Requiem, edited by John Rutter in 1983 and published by OUP. It includes both the Latin words and an English translation by Rutter. It is clearly laid out and printed. Note that it differs from the 1975 Novello version edited by Desmond Ratcliffe in layout, tempo, dynamics, and rehearsal letters. There are also a few small differences in words and notes. This calls for extra care in rehearsing a chorus using both versions, but it can be done.
Rutter's Requiem
I first heard Rutter's Requiem Aeternam on Classic FM and immediately thought "What's that ? It's sensational"
The music is written for able singers , but parts can be managed by amateur choirs / singers.
The music is immensely beautiful and calming and tugs at the emotions. Very moving indeed. Apart from the main Requiem Aeternam , I recommend the Lord's my Shepherd and the Lux Aeterna. Altogether a stunning work.
happy
Hi,
I wanted the vocal score becuase we sang it after a workshop last November. I love it. Now the Choir Egham Choral are going to study Rutter's requiem to sing it for a charity concert in aid of Sam Beard Hospice. 10th October 2009 United Church of Egham 7:30
The book we are using is this book, which is easily available from Amazon. I ordered it on Super saver so didnt pay delivery charges
