Discovered this composer only this week and find him stimulating over the full spectrum of music. He deserves far more recognition - BBC sleeping on the job.
This makyth my soule speede towards eternitie
RIP John Joubert (1927 - 2019)
Excellent rendition,both by singing,and organ, well done Thank you
Wonderful piece. Brilliantly sinister. Sang it at Bath Abbey this past weekend and the acoustics were fantastic.
O Lorde, the maker of al thinge,
We pray Thee now in this evening
Us to defende, through Thy mercy,
From al deceite of our en'my.
Let neither us deluded be,
Good Lorde, with dreame or phantasy,
Our hearte wakyng in Thee Thou kepe,
That we in sinne fal not on slepe.
O Father, throughe Thy blessed Sonne,
Grant us this our peticion,
To whom with the Holy Ghost alwaies,
In heav'n and yearth be laude and praise.
Stunning piece - it's got that double pedal and then the exquisite moment when you get the parallel chords on the under-third - just like in American Minimalism. The thing is it is SO idiomatic for choir, just like Bairstow. It just comes together to sound good.
Amazing
