Mass of the Children

Mass of the Children

This is the FIRST ALL NEW RECORDING OF JOHN RUTTER'S MUSIC IN TEN YEARS! "Mass of the Children was written in late 2002 and early 2003. The occasion of its first performance in February 2003 was a concert in New Yorkâ€™s Carnegie Hall involving childrenâ€™s choir, adult choir, soprano and baritone soloists, and orchestra. I had always wanted to write a work combining childrenâ€™s choir with adult performers, not only because I find the sound of childrenâ€™s voices irresistible but also because I wanted to repay a debt. As a boy soprano in my school choir I had been thrilled whenever our choir took part in adult works with childrenâ€™s choir parts, such as the Mahler Third Symphony and the Britten War Requiem, and years later I remembered this experience and wanted to write something that would give children a similar opportunity to perform alongside adult professionals".
