I am at present in the midst of coming up with a decent intro for Karl Jenkin's Requiem for the concert. Thank goodness for Wikipedia! Anyway, while rooting around in the nether regions of the internet, I chanced upon this wonderful quote by John Rutter, another of my favourite modern composers, if not perhaps the most cosmetically appealing. The pictures are of John Rutter (on the top) and Karl Jenkins (on the bottom).
It is wonderful to go to a choral concert, to hear a choir sing. But I think the deepest joy of all is to actually sing.
Couldn't have put it better myself!
