My college choir did this the semester before I joined. This is the first time im listening to this and it makes me wish i joined choir a semester earlier. We did Fauré's Requiem the semester I joined.
I've just read a quotation from Richard Strauss about Stravinsky's "Firebird". I can imagine William Walton saying this to John Rutter: "it's always interesting to hear one's imitators". I have huge respect for Rutter's smaller works and carols - really special and individual. But this is just a repeat of what Walton did in "Belshazzar's Feast".
Not a very interesting piece. Imitative of so many English composers of the mid-twentieth century. It may be fun for the choir to sing, but not much of a joy for the audience.

It sounds like a Superman soundtrack.
Kinda a similar harmonic language to John Williams, yeah.

I struggle to find a shred of spirituality in this Gloria. It is a purely academic exercise.
