56. John Rutter: Christ is the Morning Star
Commissioned for the choir of Clare College, Cambridge, this joyous, gently expressive Christmas carol has one of John Rutter's finest, soaring melodies. The text, written by Rutter is inspired by an inscription in Durham Cathedral by the Venerable Bede: 'Christus est stella matutina'. Photo: PA/Ben Birchall
