Lord of the Dance—arr. John Rutter. With
sensitivity and flair, John Rutter has created
the consummate arrangement of this Sydney
Carter classic! In his music, John perfectly
balances the suspenseful sweep and full range
of emotions that the text exhibits. At times it is
playful and dance-like, and at other times it
is very dark, gloomy, and dramatic. Beautifully
orchestrated, this Shaker melody takes on
a new character that is vivid, colorful, and
accessible to every choir.
