The Lord bless you and keep you (John Rutter)

The Chamber Choir of St Andrew's Cathedral Sydney sing John Rutter's beautiful setting of the Aaronic blessing from Numbers 6: 24-26. This was recorded in March during the Covid-19 lockdown.
The Choir followed the social distancing restrictions laid down by the Australian Government during the recording.
Please feel free to use it in any online streaming service during this time.
'The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up the light of His countenance upon you
and give you peace.'
Amen

You are very good and Rutter is really brilliant! My choir sang "Candlelight Carol" during one of our last performances using a new arrangment. Write this in the search: you will love it for sure! Corale Novarmonia - Candlelight Carol (J. Rutter)

[@musicatstandrewscathedrals5302]

Thank you! I’ll pass your kind feedback on- they work very hard on diction!

[@daudparewang9735]

@@musicatstandrewscathedrals5302 their hard work pays off very well, the melodies come alive❤️❤️❤️. Well done!!

[@thomashechinger4712]

@@daudparewang9735 Ich stimme Ihnen ausdrücklich zu. Mir war auch aufgefallen, wie sorgfältig auf die Aussprache geachtet wird. Ich wusste gar nicht, dass Englisch so schön sein kann. Insbesondere die Konsonanten am Ende eines Wortes, und sei es so unbedeutend wie "and", werden klar gezeichnet und nicht wie so oft irgendwie verschliffen. Dabei wirkt das Ganze gar nicht aufgesetzt, sondern so natürlich, als könnte man es gar nicht anders singen. Und das ist hohe Kunst.

[@daudparewang9735]

@@thomashechinger4712 I cannot understand what that mean. I am sorry, I am from Indonesia🙏🙏

[@thomashechinger4712]

@@daudparewang9735 I will try it with the help of the Google translator: I expressly agree with you. I also noticed how careful attention is paid to the pronunciation. I didn't even know that English could be so beautiful. In particular, the consonants at the end of a word, even if it is as insignificant as "and", are clearly drawn and not somehow blurred, as is so often the case. The whole thing doesn't seem artificial, but so natural, as if you couldn't sing it any other way. And that is great art.
