LYRICS:
Haec dies quam fecit Dominus; exultemus et laetemur in ea. Alleluia.
(Vesper Antiphon for Easter Day: Psalm 118, v. 24)

(This is the day which the Lord has made: let us rejoice and be glad in it. Alleluia.)

Faire is the Heaven
This recording is dedicated to unaccompanied English church music, sung in the beautiful acoustic of the Lady Chapel of Ely Cathedral. The 23 motets and anthems are drawn from three key periods: the Reformation, in the sixteenth century; the Restoration, in the later seventeenth century; and the Anglican revival, in the mid-nineteenth century.

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.
