It was my kind of outing: a great concert, not far away, and only 50 minutes long. Central Florida Community Arts presented an all-John Rutter choral concert at the Maitland Presbyterian Church. I love Rutter's music, and I'm so happy to be in a church where we get to sing a lot of it. In fact, just last Sunday we sang the concert opener, For the Beauty of the Earth, so all the notes were fresh in our memories. The other works were A Dedication and Amen, A Gaelic Blessing, Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day, and The Lord Bless You and Keep You, concluding with the marvellous Gloria.
For your listening pleasure, here's a version of For the Beauty of the Earth that's better than both what we sang and what we heard :)
