‘I wrote the seven Songs of Love based on the famous Song of Songs by King Solomon for the occasion of our wedding anniversary in 1993. When I wrote them, I had an English choir in mind, and I added a cello, because this is my wife’s favourite instrument. With Cambridge Voices and Veronica Henderson, a cellist with choral experience, I found the ideal interpretation. The songs are written in four different languages: Latin, German, English, and French, because these are languages we both like. The reason for choosing a special language for a song is the beauty of the words and the character of the translation. The passages describing the beauty of the beloved are so wonderful in all four languages that I had to take them all.’ (Carl Rütti)

Carl Rütti was born in 1949 and grew up in Zug, Switzerland. He studied piano and organ at the Zürich Conservatoire and in 1976 spent a year of further studies in London, where he became especially fascinated by the quality of English choir singing, which inspired him to write music for a cappella choir. Besides composing, he has a career as a pianist.
