Poulenc Sacred Music
Collegium’s recording offers an extensive selection of Poulenc’s sacred choral music with the Gloria as centrepiece. Quem vidistis pastores dicite was written in 1951.

Quem vidistis pastores dicite:
annuntiate nobis in terris quis apparuit:
Natum vidimus et choros Angelorum
collaudantes Dominum.
(Matin Responsory for Christmas Day)

Shepherds, whom did you see?
Speak, tell us, who has appeared on the earth?
We saw a new-born child, and choirs of angels giving praise to God.

John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1981) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
