Creator also of the light invisible and intellectual, That which is known of God, the light invisible. Glory be to thee, O Lord, glory be to thee, Creator of the light, for writings of the law, glory be to thee, for oracles of prophets, glory be to thee, for melody of psalms, glory be to thee,f or wisdom of proverbs, glory be to thee, experience of histories, glory be to thee, a light which never sets. God is the Lord, who hath showed us light. (Lancelot Andrewes (1555–1626), tr. Alexander Whyte) Light, who dost my soul enlighten; Sun, who all my life dost brighten; Joy, the sweetest man e’er knoweth; Fount, whence all my being floweth. From thy banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; Through the gifts thou here dost give us, As thy guest in heaven receive us. (J. Franck (1618–77), tr. Catherine Winkworth (poet) (adapted) The Gift of Life The Gift of Life, is a six-movement choral celebration of the living earth, of creation, and of life itself, offering a kaleidoscope of moods from contemplative and prayerful to majestic and inspirational. Seven more recordings of recent sacred choral works complete the disc. John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols. Contact [email protected]
