John Rutter Gott segne und behüt dich

for SATB and organ or strings or chamber orchestra A highly expressive setting of the biblical text, this simple work is at once tender and profound. It was composed for a memorial service for Edward T. Chapman, the Director of Music at Highgate School, where John Rutter was a pupil. Presented here in German translation. The string accompaniment is available on sale and on hire/rental. The reduced orchestration is available on sale.

in memoriam Edward T.
