sensitivity and flair, John Rutter has created the
consummate arrangement of this Sydney Carter

and a superb feature for chamber vocal ensembles.

Three Contemporary Latin Settings—Jerry
Estes. This special set of three short pieces is great
for captivating and motivating developing choirs; it
is now available for SATB choirs as well. The easy,
repeated Latin phrases come to life with fresh
musical ideas. The Kyrie, with its staccato versus
legato singing, contrasts with the simple, melodic
ballad feel of the Adoramus Te, which in turn is
contrasted with the celebratory style and energy of
the Gloria in Excelsis Deo. For school or church,
sung independently or as a set, for holiday use or at
any time of year, this is a powerhouse for teaching
and performing! Highly recommended!
