Clare Benediction, A

Commissioned by Clare College, Cambridge, where John Rutter taught for many years. Original words and music, piano accompaniment. Also available in SATB a cappella, or SATB with organ (HMC1629) and SSA with piano (HMC1634). Instrumentation: (HMC1629A) 2fl, ob, 2cl in B-fl, bsn, 2hn in F, hp, 2vln, viola, cello, dbl bass and full score. However, this score shows SATB vocal parts. There is no full score for this unison version, but this orchestration is compatible with it (though the key is a half-step higher).
