After arranging a number of John Rutter’s magnificent compositions for Concert/Wind Band, and following the success of "A John Rutter Christmas I" and "A John Rutter Christmas II", there was enough excellent material to warrant the creation of "A John Rutter Christmas III". I am pleased to present “A John Rutter Christmas III” to the world of band music, with the hope that conductors, players, and audiences alike will enjoy this outstanding music. Somehow, John Rutter’s carols shout “Christmas” without a word being spoken!
