John Rutter is a composer.  On hearing about the invasion of Ukraine he asked himself, “How can a composer respond to a global tragedy? The first thing I wanted to do was write some music that would respond in my own way. I hope the meaning of the text will resonate in people’s hearts and reach out to the people of Ukraine in their hour of need”.
