Today I was out shopping and listening to NPR and happened to hear John Rutter being interviewed about his piece, "What Sweeter Music". Since there's a discussion thread about John Rutter's Gloria — and since I found that interview online — I thought I'd post a couple links. Mr. Rutter said that Volvo wanted to use his piece (What Sweeter Music) in their car commercial. He was concerned that that might not be a good idea, but glad he consented as the royalties from just that commercial paid for his 'composing cottage'. The commercial ran for four years.

King's College Cambridge singing, What Sweeter Music
I love John Rutter's music... not from a tuba or euphonium perspective, but from singing in our church choir.
