I can't begin to understand why church musicians, and perhaps especially British church musicians, feel some sense of duty to sharpen their pens and take deadly aim at John Rutter's music. It is what it is. If it isn't your cup of tea, just simply don't make use of it. Why the necessity to disparage Rutter's work? Is the success he has enjoyed somehow offensive to people?
