Fancies is a cycle of six choral settings by John Rutter, created around whimsical themes and based on text from poets such as Shakespeare, Thomas Campion (1567–1620), Edward Lear (1812–1888) and others. The collection was originally written in 1971. Rutter recorded a recording with other compositions which was rereleased in 2005.{{Cite web |url=http://www.gothic-catalog.com/Fancies_John_Rutter_Cambridge_Singers_p/cd-117-col.htm |title=Fancies: Music by John Johns |access-date=2010-06-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081121160731/http://www.gothic-catalog.com/Fancies_John_Rutter_Cambridge_Singers_p/cd-117-col.htm |archive-date=2008-11-21 |url-status=dead }}
