New for Christmas from John Rutter Tuesday, September 15, 2009
John Rutter is well-known for his exquisite Christmas music, and this lovely piece continues his fine tradition. I Wish You Christmas sets a delightfully captivating text to an equally wonderful piano accompaniment. Filled with the musical warmth for which Rutter is so renowned, it's perfect for setting the mood in secular holiday concerts.
I wish you music, I wish you song,
With voices echoing, joyous and strong;
I wish you church bells, ringing true and clear;
I wish you Christmas, a merry Christmas,
A merry Christmas to remember all the year.
