for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied This tender arrangement of the well-loved Irish folk melody Londonderry Air sets an uplifting poem by Howard Walter: a stirring combination of music and text that was also used at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997. Opening with the melody sung by tutti sopranos, the texture gradually builds to a climatic double choir section as the text celebrates the journey to God's heavenly kingdom. I would be true has been recorded by the Cambridge Singers on the CD This is the Day.

About
John Rutter studied music at Clare College Cambridge and first came to notice as a composer and arranger of Christmas carols and other choral pieces during those early years; today his compositions including such concert-length works as Requiem Magnificat Mass of the Children The Gift of Life and Visions are performed around the world. John edits the Oxford Choral Classics series and with Sir David Willcocks co-edited four volumes of Carols for Choirs. In 1983 he formed his own choir The Cambridge Singers with whom he has made numerous recordings on the Collegium Records label and he appears regularly in several countries as a guest conductor and choral ambassador.
