Description
for SATB, organ, and second organ or piano or harp
Taken from Rutter's edition of Faure's Requiem, this angelic and widely beloved Sanctus features both the original French words and an optional English text, translated and adapted for singing by John Rutter himself. Although ideal for funerals and All Souls Day services due to it being composed as part of the Requiem, the more general message of praise in the Sanctus makes it equally suitable for a range of other worship services. Its second keyboard part may be performed on an additional organ, piano, or harp.
John Rutter's complete edition of Faure's Requiem (1893 version) is available from Oxford University Press.

Persons
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.
