John says: “For The Piano Collection I chose 17 pieces of mine, and it’s perhaps no surprise that nine of them are carol transcriptions – Christmas has always been an important part of my life. Without their seasonal texts, I hope listeners can feel free to enjoy them throughout the year.”

The sheet music has been published by Oxford University Press and is available in two volumes: The John Rutter Piano Album (eight of John’s best-loved choral works arranged for piano) and The John Rutter Christmas Piano Album (eight Christmas compositions).

    I was listening to John on Songs of Praise these past few weeks and thought of writing to him to suggest that he released some of his music for either piano or organ. I am an average piano player which has led me to becoming a church organist. In these days of no hymn singing and highly recommended to play hymns as preludes etc to stop the congregation joining in I have been looking around for suitable music. Its going to be an interesting challenge to play these arrangements, I hope I do not murder these lovely tunes.
