'''''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.<ref>{{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 }}</ref>
