Look at the World, John Rutter

Conducted by John Rutter
Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, February 17, 2008
The Mark Thallander Foundation Choir Festival

[@elainewilliams9424]

Rutter is one of God's best gifts to the modern world. I am so grateful to have sung & taught his hymns and songs for so many years. I adore this composer and man.

[@stevenadams6325]

Thirteen years later and this music is just as beautiful as it was then. A piece of beauty with children's and adult voices, caught in time.

One of the items on my bucket list was to sing with John Rutter. Well, about 20 years ago he came to Minneapolis for a workshop and I was able to attend and sing under his (metaphoric) baton.

I nominated John for British knighthood in 2007; the Queen reportedly enjoyed my nomination letter. Received three acknowledgements from three British agencies involved with knighthood issues. John thanked me for my thoughtfulness, but he was content with his OBE honor.

I'm so mesmerized by this song and the choir as well. I can't help feeling nostalgic . Reminded of God's wonderful creations

[@ricks1rocks1]

John Rutter sure has a way with music and wonderful sacred lyrics to help take us on a deep Spiritual Journey Within.

[@jbut1208]

Why feel nostalgic? Go and see Gods world and marvel! We are his stewards! Resolve to do this vital job better! We are his hands and feet!!!!!!

[@michaelwing5443]

Though not in any way religious, just love his compositions. Just beautiful. Sing with a choir, and so look forward to sing his songs.

Imagine being in that pavilion with those heavenly voices/instruments flooding your senses! Then think of heaven, with so many more brothers’ and sisters’ voices, utter love, joy and peace and Jesus’ presence! Fixing your eyes on this as your ultimate destination, anxiety will not control as it has.

[@davidhoadley39]

There's a lot of things I can't do, but that doesn't mean I can't point out when someone else isn't doing them well. At 3:10, there's no mistaking that the orchestra and piano are not together, whether that's Mr. Rutter's fault or not. I think a few things are at play--it's a mass group of different choirs spread out in a large space, and that makes it very difficult to stay together because of the variation in how the sound travels. Plus, it is a very "acoustic" space, and the echoes can mess up even the best musicians. Third, it being a choir fest means that they probably had very limited rehearsal time together. Fourth, watch how many singers have their eyes buried in their score and may not be watching the conductor very well. And fifth, this is a recording, and all recordings can never capture the actual sound of the live performance.

I had the privilege to sing John Rutters requem with the Malaspina choir in Nanaimo B.C. it's my favorite requem and when my husband passed away in 1995 I had psalm 23 played at his funeral. It still gives me comfort to listen to it.

[@michaelgrabarsky8243]

A magical musical moment. It was thrilling to have been part of this choir. Rutter was delightful, the children's choir was great, the LA Cathedral is stunning (glad they show the beautiful tapestries in this video). Most of all, his music was and is so pleasing to sing and to listen to.

So many of John Rutter's tunes are similarly beautiful melodies - a tunesmith on a par with Arthur Sullivan and Richard Rogers. His Count Your Blessings, Christmas Lullaby, Candlelight Carol are my favourites. Thank you John for your hard work and creations, God given I guess. 🎶👫👫👫👫👫🎶

Never forget that you are a great gift from Heaven. Even though you were and/or are not in this choir from what you have said, you have had valuable life across your years. If you had not been here, the emotion in other people from you would not have started spreading. You “are his hands,” a steward “of all his bounty”. I know about this song because I was in a children’s choir and we were singing this song. That choir is still down because of the pandemic. It was lovely being in that choir, even though it partially felt like an annoyance to me at the time. I blame that on the fact that my doctor had me on vyvanse for focus and that I had not found a place for screen time on my list of priorities. I needed to have a thankful heart that I could see (no pun intended). “Praise to thee O Lord.” I think that you should turn lyrics of songs into some of your prayers. When I did that for the chorus of this song, I personally view that as one of the most beautiful prayers that I have said. I also have broken the habit of using God’s and Jesus’s name to say that I don’t like something. I personally believe that that has brought me closer to them. I also believe that people are creation. I believe that God and Jesus are in our hearts, and so are all people’s souls, whether their bodies are living or dead. I believe that Heaven is our hearts, and although I believe Hell can be too, I also believe that it is the one of the two that can be destroyed, and Jesus and God and Their people can help with that. I believe Hell should be destroyed because although it is okay to dislike, it is never okay to hate, and especially not to use it as a punishment because that defeats the purpose of one.
