UPC: 688670803352. English. John 18:1-19:42.

This setting of the St. John Passion for Good Friday pairs the traditional chants for soloists with the Victoria choruses for choir. All parts are included in the full edition, and the choruses with lead-ins are in a separate choral edition. Charles Thatcher has skillfully adapted all to fit the Lectionary translation, including the choruses. Singing the Passion on Good Friday adds great solemnity to this Triduum liturgy. An alternate version is available as a digital download that replaces the chorus parts with a single-line part that may be sung by another soloist.

For SATB unaccompanied This secular work by John Rutter sets the text of Shakespeare's Sonnet No. 18. Rutter skilfully weaves the figurative language of the sonnet within the melodic lines of the music. Shakespeare's text is passed between the voices, with the warm harmonies enveloping the sonnet's use of imagery.
