The Lord Is My Shepherd (Rutter) | Atlanta Master Chorale

[@maddielongleggs1816]

I sang this song at my grandmothers funeral and I broke down into tears afterwards. This song is so beautiful but now I can’t listen to it without sobbing

[@NancyGerst]

Maddie, I heard this entire Requiem this evening at an area church. It brings tears to my eyes too. May your heart continue to find comfort in these words and in loving memories of your grandmother.

Carrying out my late Aunties Coffin with this playing while crying and also a small smile on my face because i knew she loved this... such a beautiful song

[@monocacyvalleychurchijamsv6875]

The crescendo at 4:20 with the declaration that "I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever" brings this worship director on my knees every time I hear this.

Beautiful. I was transported to the Heavenly Courts! The choir was magnificent. Just right. They sang it as Rutter's 'Cambridge Singers! The Oboist was very plaintive and helped to carry the pathos of the music. I remember playing this song for my Year 1 class while they did quiet reading. It still echoes many years ago.

[@jblvxk]

one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written

[@helendayle6502]

I sang the soprano part of this song in my high school choir right the sudden and tragic death of my cousin. Now i listen to this song again right after my uncle died nearly 2 weeks ago. This song is beautiful and comforting.

[@anitabishop6520]

I never tire of this wonderful piece….as many times as I’ve sung and heard it……

Psalm 23 A psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd,(A) I lack nothing.(B) 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,(C) 3 he refreshes my soul.(D) He guides me(E) along the right paths(F) for his name’s sake.(G) 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[a](H) I will fear no evil,(I) for you are with me;(J) your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table(K) before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil;(L) my cup(M) overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love(N) will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Where is this performance being held? How beautiful It must be with the addition of a harp! Such a truly awesome work and so expertly executed!

Yes only the harp is missing, the performance is pure and of great beauty!

Ravel meets Renaissance in Rutter! I hope one day Rutter will find faith in his settings of Holy Scripture.

too bad they left the harp out otherwise the voices are beautiful!

[@Jazzbeau]

Seriously, they couldn't scare up a harpist?

[@JesseDavis7373]

@@Jazzbeau you think harpists grow on trees?

[@janmcguire5268]

There must have been a last minute issue. There are sufficient harpists in the Atlanta area.

[@klaadem]

Poor girl gets spit stuck in her C key so she has to blow it out mid performance in 4:26. As a fellow oboist, I feel her pain :(

[@undead.rising]

I feel that the oboe overpowers the voices too much. Just my opinion.

[@JaySmith-rw5kj]

I agree although I think it just the recording. Probably sounded better balanced live.
