Website: https://www.johnrutter.com LYRICS: It was a lover and his lass, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, That o’er the green cornfield did pass, In the spring time, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding; Sweet lovers love the spring. Between the acres of the rye, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, These pretty country folks would lie, In the spring time, &c. And therefore take the present time, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino; For love is crowned with the prime In the spring time, &c. Birthday Madrigals 1 - It was a lover and his lass 'Birthday Madrigals' is a musical tribute, by John Rutter, written in 1995 to celebrate the 75th birthday of George Shearing. The five pieces can only be called madrigals in that their texts come from the era of the Elizabethan madrigal; their musical style is only loosely madrigalian, showing a mixture of light jazz influence in nos. 1, 3, and 5, and a flavour of the English part-song tradition in nos. 2 and 4 Feel the Spirit Strong, stirring spirituals and tuneful, jazz-flavoured settings of Shakespeare’s timeless lyrics are the mouth-watering ingredients of the Cambridge Singers’ album Feel the Spirit. John Rutter has written vivid arrangements of seven well-loved American spirituals for choir, with soloist Melanie Marshall and the BBC Concert Orchestra joining together with the Cambridge Singers for this world première recording.  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.
