John Rutter: Requiem 6/7 - The Lord is my shepherd

[katnes20]

sang this in a choir a long time ago and the sopranos kept forgetting to come in at the beginning because the oboe is so beautiful - this is what I imagine heaven will sound like :)

[36harriet1]

The oboe solo at the beginning and throughout the movement is completely ethereal. Exquisite.

[SimplyAsunder]

wow, nice.

[gh1zu]

i heard that in some movies , am i right?

i make me feel like raising my soul or say my soul is raising automatically

[HGK745]

Four people were clearly too indulged in the beautiful music to know what button they were clicking.

[Standring64]

Absolutely beautiful. Singing this piece at Leeds Town Hall on Sat. 9th July with our choir, Inspiration. Don't know how I will go on. Everytime I try to sing these words I cry.

Where's the "LOVE" button when you need it?

[coffm007]

Simply brilliant, John Rutter is an amazing composer of real worship music. Bless you!

[coffm007]

well done!

[spider23000]

Beautifully done! Absolutely wonderful

[FiWesten]

Well, time to pull out my sheet music and violin lol. I almost forgot how beautiful this requiem is.

I'm currently playing the accompanyment to this piece, but don't listen to a lot of requiems. Can anybody explain why some movements are sung in English, and others in Latin? (I think those are the languages)

[tomkobe58]

@violaluv4ever

latin parts are parts of original cristian mass (kyrie etc) and cannot be left out; some parts are english, and those are psalms, those are not oblicatory parts, i guess he just prefered them in his language

[violaluv4ever]

@tomkobe58 Thanks, that makes a LOT more sense now :)

[juwanawoman]

i love the Requiem..........sung it in high school...thanks mr. allen bethea!

Viva, Sandnes kulturskolekor ("vivasandnes" on youtube) sing the psalm with the same title, but written by Henry Smart/W:S:Passmore.

Quite different, but equally beautiful...

^^das war das lied, was ich am wenigsten mocht :D

aber es hört sich ganz nett an, wenn man sich darauf einlässt =)

[sacrsdavis]

Does anyone know the name of this oboe player? Fabulous musician!

[LuxGonderange]

es ist schon das solch eine musik zu hören ist

[giladsinger]

I'm not religious at all, but when I hear this piece I get so emotional! It's SO beautiful!

[magisterludi92103a]

As close to Heaven as I'll ever get!

[mysterrh]

Magnificant!

[VBallesterEventos]

Esto lo vamos a cantar en el casamiento de Ayelen con el maestro Di Mario como director. Asi que a estudiar.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lilom4m414]

i remember this song the best!! i sang the whole requiem peice by john Rutter in high school at Christian Brothers!!

[Geniusmu09]

Oboe player is great!

[musicnatflute]

The oboe player is as good as I have heard on this piece. Great job!

~Natalie, the high school music teacher

[foxitewhig]

I've sung this too - with John Rutter himself in the audience!

[rickyfan3956]

That concert was on April 18, 1999. Two days later, on April 20, 1999, the massacre at Columbine High School happened. I stood there watching the news with the Rutter Requiem going through my head. Later that night, I went into a practice room and bawled like a baby.

[rickyfan3956]

I also had the privilege of singing the Rutter Requiem in college, back in 1999. I hated it while we were practicing it, but when the musicians and the community choir came together with us to perform it, I started to like it. The conductor was conducting it in memory of a friend of his who had passed not long before. For me, though, I had nothing emotional on which I could hang the Requiem.

[000ookkayla]

i love the requiem we did it in chior and this is my fav. piece next to out of the deep.

[mimi42fulable]

i sang this shit!!!!!!!!!!

[denizebvieira]

@ Mimi42fulable Na verdade você e a merda que cantou isso. Que pena!

[jameshon]

The voice is so pure!

[evildavey1]

oboe dide is hot

[12345xxxxx]

The oboe is amazing!

[crepotski]

Was the video or did it seem that the whole choir was kinda 'trebley' through the whole song? AMAZING Oboe though.

[joaopaulodoviolino]

So beautiful! I was playing some hours ago. I played the oboes part on my violin. I

did know this piece untill now!

Amazing!

[krs090465]

One of my favourite movements from this exquisite requiem mass. I had the privilege of singing it at Derby Cathedral with John Rutter conducting. One of the best days of my life. I get emotional just thinking about it, and I don't even believe in God!

[SCSQ4]

I performed the entire Requiem by Rutter at a Church as a Violinist with a Full Orchestra and Choir on Good Friday 2002, and it was the best Good Friday Service I ever participated in!

Watching this video brings back many wonderful memories! This is my favorite piece from the Requiem and it inspires me every time I play or listen to it!

Thank you for sharing this video with us.

[carolynjeancole]

The most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. I cry every time I listen to it.

[apassionforjesus]

[hotpinkchick311]

[ellafitz13579]

[klickenpod]
