An arrangement by John Rutter of the popular Passiontide hymn When I survey the wondrous cross, set to the hymn tune Rockingham, with which these words have long been associated. Part of the Cambridge Singers Hymn series, it features on the Collegium recording Sing, ye Heavens (COLCD126), performed by the Cambridge Singers and directed by John Rutter.
In this arrangement of the hymn tune St Clement, traditional verses alternate with those newly arranged by John Rutter. The piece is part of a wider collection of hymn arrangements, which have been recorded by the Cambridge Singers, directed by John Rutter, on the Collegium CD Sing, ye heavens (COLCD 126). Individual leaflets from the series are available on sale from Oxford University Press.
Christ the Lord is risen today is an arrangement of the Easter hymn tune ‘Lyra Davidica’. Not to be confused with Rutter’s own composition, Christ the Lord is risen again, published as part of the John Rutter Anniversary Edition. With an exciting introductory fanfare composed by Rutter, this uplifting anthem provides a powerful ending to any Easter service.
