Carl Rütti (born March 24, 1949, in Fribourg) is a notable Swiss composer, who has written much choral music.
He took his A levels at the monastery school in Engelberg, then studied music at the Zürich Conservatoire, finishing in 1975 with a Solisten-diploma in piano and organ.
Since then he has composed a steady output of largely religious choral works, including Alpha et Omega, a Magnificat and Nunc dimittis, the 11-part Missa Angelorum and a setting of O magnum mysterium.
Rütti's music blends the English choral tradition with other genres including jazz and the blues.
In 2013 he composed a Symphony for soprano, organ, percussion and orchestra entitled "The Visions of Niklaus von Flüe".
