Website: https://www.johnrutter.com Poulenc Sacred Music Collegium’s recording offers an extensive selection of Poulenc’s sacred choral music with the Gloria as centrepiece. Vinea mea electa was written in 1939. LYRICS: Vinea mea electa, ego te plantavi: quomodo conversa es in amaritudinem, ut me crucifigeres et Barrabam dimitteres. Sepivi te et lapides elegi ex te et aedificavi turrim. Quomodo conversa es in amaritudinem, ut me crucifigeres et Barrabam dimitteres. (Matin Responsory for Good Friday) O my chosen vineyard, it is I who have planted you. How have you become so bitter that you should crucify me, and release Barabbas? I have hedged you in, and cleared you of stones, and have built a tower. How have you become so bitter that you should crucify me, and release Barabbas? 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.
