Oxford Choral Classics: English Church Music assembles in two volumes around 100 of the finest examples of English sacred choral music of the past five centuries. The first volume, dedicated to anthems and motets, presents both favourite and lesser-known works, from the exceptional Renaissance polyphony of Taverner, Tallis, and Byrd, through the Restoration led by Purcell, to the glorious works of the great nineteenth- and twentieth-century composers, including Wesley, Elgar, Stanford, Vaughan Williams, and Howells. The volume contains a number of more substantial works, including Mendelssohn's Hear my prayer, Stainer's I saw the Lord, and Naylor's Vox dicentis: Clama, as well as a wonderful selection of shorter pieces, from Gibbons's O Lord, in thy wrath to Walton's Set me as a seal upon thine heart. With the second companion volume of canticles and responses, this bipartite collection presents a comprehensive survey of English sacred music at its best.

John Rutter studied music at Clare College, Cambridge and first came to notice as a composer and arranger of Christmas carols and other choral pieces during those early years; today his compositions, including such concert-length works as Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, The Gift of Life, and Visions are performed around the world. John edits the Oxford Choral Classics series, and, with Sir David Willcocks, co-edited four volumes of Carols for Choirs. In 1983 he formed his own choir The Cambridge Singers, with whom he has made numerous recordings on the Collegium Records label, and he appears regularly in several countries as a guest conductor and choral ambassador. John holds a Lambeth Doctorate in Music, and in 2007 was awarded a CBE for services to music. In September 2023, he received the Ivors Academy Fellowship, and in 2024 he was knighted in the King's Birthday Honours.

Rejoice in the Lord alway ; Jesu, the very thought of thee ; Salvator mundi ; O where shall wisdom be found? ; Ave verum Corpus ; Haec dies ; Justorum animae ; Sing joyfully ; They are at rest ; Lord, for thy tender mercy's sake ; O clap your hands ; O Lord, in thy wrath ; These are they which follow the Lamb ; Lord, let me know mine end ; My song is love unknown ; Faire is the heaven ; O how glorious is the kingdom ; Like as the hart desireth the waterbrooks ; Greater love hath no man ; The souls of the righteous ; Hear my prayer ; Nolo mortem peccatoris ; Vox dicentis: Clama ; Ave Maria ; Ascendit Deus ; Hear my prayer, O Lord ; I was glad when they said unto me ; Let mine eyes run down with tears ; Lord, how long wilt thou be angry? ; Remember not, Lord, our offences ; God so loved the world ; I saw the Lord ; Beati quorum via ; Coelos ascendit hodie ; How beauteous are their feet ; I heard a voice from heaven ; Justorum animae ; If ye love me ; Loquebantur variis linguis ; O Lord, give thy Holy Spirit ; O nata lux de lumine ; Dum transisset Sabbatum ; When David heard ; O how amiable ; O taste and see ; Set me as a seal upon thine heart ; Blessed be the God and Father ; Praise the Lord, O my soul ; Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace ; Wash me throughly ; O thou the central orb
