My local NPR station played some John Rutter this morning.

[@DangerousMixture]

This song has so much character, it felt familiar to me the first time I heard it. Every movement has a really distinct feel, but they keep a consistent motif. Very well written piece.

Heard this on the local classical station and it impressed me so much I'm here looking it up - desperately wishing it were longer.

Fantastic. 👍👍

[@1spissatus]

I bottled out of my grade 6 flute exam because I could not handle the high flute notes - beautiful piece though!

[@lj036226]

For eternity ...

[@robertcohn8858]

This piece reminds me of listening to Fresh Aire. Marvelous.

[@xanderstuivenberg]

8:22 Listening to the Waltz from this suite makes me so happy ☺ Hope I can someday play that beautiful part on the flute! Too bad it's just so hard haha!

We do not forsake the assembling any longer, we greet each other with a holy kiss..we give good hugs..we live in community and share with one another. We look out for one another. We sit down at table with one another and have a Babette's Feast, or maybe luncheon or beautiful high tea setting, but most of all we genuinely love (action word) HIM together as we are ENGAGED in loving one snother..all the while laughing, smiling and encouraging one another. There will be more than seven SUNDAY HOUSE sites ...we will Acts 2:37-47..We will have CIRCUIT RIDERS again making SURE CONNECTIONS i.e. Ephesians 4...especially 16...We will be CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH...living in HARMONY with each other...RICH, DEEP, SINCERE RELATIONSHIPS.. THY KINGDOM COME, TH Y WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN..WOW! ABSWERED PRAYER! Did I leave anything out...well then it's TIME for you to make the difference..

[@apodder]

So funny...that Waltz sounds like '70s elevator music!

[@rikspector]

I have always been deeply moved by John Rutters liturgical and folk inspired music. This album is no exception, it resonates in my heart. Thank You, Frederick "Rik" Spector

Thank you for this very special John RUTTER music. I have many of his CDs, but I was unaware of this.

[@gabrielepetouchoff1998]

Masterpiece! 😍

[@DeadBlackmageguy]

Yummy! This stuff is what I live for!

[@maxmerry8470]

Lovely stuff! The harpsichord has always appealed to me: its elegance and clarity are wonderful. I Iiked its use in popular music as well (the 1960s US group, The Left Banke, spring to mind). "Waltz" has a Dave Brubeck feel about it....

[@maxmerry8470]

Da Capo, the second album by Love (1967), also features a lot of harpsichord.

[@BQN_BQN]

the third movement’s a heart gripper, the 4th, delightful!

[@tadeuandrade9134]

Que lindeza. Obrigado, Roders. (What a soft beauty. Thank you Rodders)

[@josealvarez1044]

Me encanta esta versión que dirige el mismo compositor!

[@mahirudi]

WOWWWWWWWWW

[@tonyobadinage6647]

Reminds me of a French composer of light music called Saint-Preux

Not really keen on the piece, but when it is played like this.....

The second movement is like a pastoral version of Michel Legrand

[@BQN_BQN]

Who’s the flutist ?

[@AndrewEdwardsFlute]

Andrew Nicholson. He was principal with the Halle Orchestra before going to the Royal Philharmonic. He is now with West Australian Symphony Orchestra.

[@MuseDuCafe]

Sounds as insipid as a Disney film score....

[@maxmerry8470]

MuseDuCafe , Bear in mind that the piece you refer to as "insipid" is part of a Light Music playlist. It's not meant to be earth-shatteringly profound but it can still give many listeners pleasure as, indeed, can a Disney score, I suppose. But you are entitled to your opinion, tersely and dismissively expressed though it might be...
