==Compositions==
Rutter's compositions are chiefly choral, and include [[Christmas carol]]s, [[anthem]]s and extended works such as the [[Gloria (Rutter)|''Gloria'']], the [[Requiem (Rutter)|''Requiem'']] and the [[Magnificat (Rutter)|''Magnificat'']].

The world premiere of Rutter's [[Requiem (Rutter)|''Requiem'']] (1985), and of his authoritative edition of Fauré's [[Requiem (Fauré)|''Requiem'']], took place with the Fox Valley Festival Chorus, in Illinois. In 2002, his setting of [[Psalm 150]], commissioned for the Queen's [[Golden Jubilee]], was performed at the Jubilee thanksgiving service in [[St Paul's Cathedral]], London. Similarly, he was commissioned to write a new anthem, "This is the day", for the [[wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton]] in 2011, performed at Westminster Abbey during the service.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/royal-wedding/8479433/Royal-wedding-the-Order-of-Service-in-full.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110429040318/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/royal-wedding/8479433/Royal-wedding-the-Order-of-Service-in-full.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 April 2011|title=Order of Service|date=28 April 2011|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|access-date=7 February 2019}}</ref>
