Website: https://www.johnrutter.com The Very Best Time of Year This was written in 1984 as a Christmas present for Gene and Audrey Grier, two noted American choral musicians who were among the first to welcome the composer into the American choral community on his early visits there in the 1970s and 80s. LYRICS: Christmas trees and boughs of holly, Yuletide logs and mistletoe; Candles burning bright, and meadows frosty white, And faces in the firelight’s glow; Sounds of happy children’s voices Singing carols that you love to hear; Then the silence of the night And the winter air so still and clear. Feels like you could reach and touch the sky, Or catch a star and fly away; Feels like you could wish for peace on earth, And all at once it would come, some day. Families and friends together Feel a special kind of love and cheer, Sharing all the joys of Christmas time, The very best time of year. The very best time, That strange, enchanted time, That shining, magic time of year. (Words and music: John Rutter) The John Rutter Christmas Album This album gathers together most of the carols composed by John Rutter over the years, plus a sprinkling of Rutter arrangements of traditional carols, grouped to form a programme which narrates, reflects upon, and celebrates the Christmas story. 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]
