Choral music is not one of life’s frills. It’s something that goes to the very heart of our humanity, our sense of community, and our souls. When you sing, you express your soul in song. And when you come together with a group of other singers, it becomes more than the sum of the parts… It’s like a great oak that rises up from the center of the human race and spreads its branches everywhere. That’s what music does for us. And choral music must stand as one of the supreme examples of it. - John Rutter - Composer
