John Rutter (b.1945) is one of England's best known composers of choral literature. While his choral works, including Te Deum, Magnificat, and Requiem, are the most familiar, he has also written numerous instrumental works. Rutter composed the Nativity Carol for SATB chorus and organ in 1963, and it was published in 1967 as part of a collection entitled Carols for Two Choirs. Although the title suggests a seasonal work, its musical richness lends itself favorably for performance at any time of the year.

For SATB (with divisions) and organ John Rutter's setting of this well-known medieval Pentecost poem is characterized by metrical fluidity, imaginative harmonic language, contrasting homophonic and imitative passages, and a supportive organ part.

For SATB and chamber ensemble A splendid curtain-raiser to Vivaldi's Gloria, Durante's artful Magnificat has long been misattributed to his pupil Pergolesi. Durante's vocally richer five-voice version has been chosen for Sacred Choruses and merits performance as an alternative to the familiar four-voice version.
