Neglected by many cathedral choirs, this exhilarating work should be given a new lease of life by this splendid new edition. * Organists' Review May 99 *
By far the most important work before me is Stanford's splendid non-liturgical setting of Magnificat, Op. 164, for unaccompanied double choir, where the Latin text is clothed with vivacious and spirited writing which clearly has its roots in the great motets of Bach and Brahms: indeed, any chamber choir or choral society that is familiar with 'Lobet den Herren' will relish this magnificent work. Intended as a tribute to Parry, the writing throughout is masterly, and it is hoped that this new edition, prepared by John Rutter, will give rise to more frequent performances. * CMQ April 99 *

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 was awarded a CBE for services to music in 2007.
