H For the Beauty of the Earth—John Rutter.
John Rutter's engaging melody over a flowing
accompaniment is equally beautiful in either the
SATB or SA treatment. If you haven't already,
consider the instrumental accompaniment for a
fresh perspective on this sacred gem. Scored for
strings, winds, harp (playable on keyboard), and
drums, it includes instrumental lines that are as
lovely as the vocal lines. A perennial favorite, this
is a tasteful blend of text and musical expression.
Vintage John Rutter.

of the heart, sing more than just a sound. Sing from

profound, forever music." Highly recommended!

is new, the world is brimmed with moonlight, the
lilac brimmed with dew..."

original was inspired by the colors and nostalgia
of the Kansas prairie in autumn. Lonely, empty
