- European Sacred Music
The European Sacred Music series contains over fifty of the finest examples of sacred choral music from continental Europe. John Rutter's selection ranges from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries; in the vocal score there are familiar classics like Allegri's Miserere, Monteverdi's Beatus vir, and Fauré's Cantique de Jean Raçine alongside rare and lovely pieces by composers as diverse as Buxtehude, Sweelinck, and Poulenc.
Eight of the works in the European Sacred Music have been orchestrated, and these are listed below along with the complete orchestration for each title.
