European Sacred Music

Description

Over 50 of the finest examples of sacred choral music from continental Europe from the sixteenth to twentieth centuries. John Rutter has prepared completely new editions of all the pre-twentieth-century items, going back to the earliest and most reliable manuscript or printed sources. English singing translations are provided for most pieces, and playable keyboard reductions. Orchestrations are available for hire for the eight accompanied items, and some pieces are available separately in the Oxford Choral Classics Octavo series.
