LYRICS:
Glory, glory hallelujah!
The saints go marching in.
Oh, when the saints go marching in,
Oh, when the saints go marching in:
Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number,
When the saints go marching in.
And when the revelation comes, &c.
Oh, when the new world is revealed, &c.
Oh, when they gather round the throne, &c.
Hallelujah, brothers, hallelujah, sisters!
Hear the music going round and around,
While the saints go marching up into glory,
Oh, hear those angel trumpets sound.
And when they crown him King of Kings, &c.
And when the sun no more will shine, &c.
And when the moon has turned to blood, &c.
And on that hallelujah day, &c.
Feel the Spirit
Strong, stirring spirituals and tuneful, jazz-flavoured settings of Shakespeare’s timeless lyrics are the mouth-watering ingredients of the Cambridge Singers’ album Feel the Spirit. John Rutter has written vivid arrangements of seven well-loved American spirituals for choir, with soloist Melanie Marshall and the BBC Concert Orchestra joining together with the Cambridge Singers for this world première recording.
John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
