No favorites but two that I'd love to perform (and haven't....can you believe it!) are In exitu Israel (S.Wesley) and The Wilderness (S.S.Wesley)

Well I didnt think it was possible to have just a favourite one, until I sang Harris, Faire is the heaven the other day. For any of you who dont know it, its amazing!

Yeah, Faire is the heaven is pretty nifty stuff. And how could I forget In exitu Israel !

If anyone on this forum has a favourite Rutter, they're not coming forth.

Far too many to choose from ... but my top 3 are
-
Parry -- I was Glad
Wesley -- Blessed be the God and Father..
Allegri -- Miserere.

------very sorry 'wickedchorister' but how could anyone not love
Rutter's The Lord Bless you and keep you !!!!
shocking....

I have to admit I'm confused by the appearance of Wesley Blessed by the God and Father on this thread!! (Not to mention RUTTER!!)

Again, tricky.

Some possibilties:

R V Williams - Lord, thou hast been our refugee
Bairstow - Let all mortal

Finzi's "Lo, the full final" - must get credit for the bizarre presence of a Pelican!
