Truly beautiful performance of this incredible composition! Thank you for sharing!

[maddielongleggs]

I sang this song at my grandmothers funeral and I broke down into tears afterwards. This song is so beautiful but now I can’t listen to it without sobbing

[helendayle]

I sang the soprano part of this song in my high school choir right the sudden and tragic death of my cousin. Now i listen to this song again right after my uncle died nearly 2 weeks ago. This song is beautiful and comforting.

The crescendo at 4:20 with the declaration that "I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever" brings this worship director on my knees every time I hear this.

Beautiful. I was transported to the Heavenly Courts!
The choir was magnificent. Just right. They sang it as Rutter's 'Cambridge Singers!
The Oboist was very plaintive and helped to carry the pathos of the music.
I remember playing this song for my Year 1 class while they did quiet reading. It still echoes many years ago.

I never tire of this wonderful piece….as many times as I’ve sung and heard it……

[edmondbeatty]

The “Rutter oboe “has an accompanying but is really the real voice in this glorious psalm.

[bozarts]

The clarinet always gets me to my deepest soul! I also have sung and listened to this so many times and never ever tire of it! Rutter is so sensitive a composer!

[calvino]

Realmente una pieza sublime y hermosa del Mtro Rutter

[haroldsimon]

Stunning. The simplicity of organ and reed undergird the voices so as to make this psalm alive.

[zoungranaalain]

Très magnifique si seulement je pouvais avoir des cours ma chorale allait changer

[Reid-yynw]

The organ in Atlanta's Emory University's Swartz Center was built by Dan Jaekel, Duluth, MN
