THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF ST ANDREW IN WELLS

Services and Music List

March and April 2013

WELCOME The Services and Music List for March and April covers the central events of the Christian Year. We trace Jesus’s journey from Palm Sunday through the story of the arrest and crucifixion, to the glorious triumph of Easter day. It is a time of great musical richness that informs our spiritual pilgrimage from death to life.

I hope that you will find this two-month format of the Services and Music List useful and that you will find in the worship here at Wells the strength of the living God.

President: Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, CBE (Master of The Queen’s Music) Wells Cathedral Commissions is delighted that the distinguished composer, John Joubert, is writing a mass and motet for Wells Cathedral Choir, both of which will be performed on the feast of Pentecost (16 June) during new music wells 73-13. Joubert was born in Cape Town in 1927. Aged 19, he won a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London and has lived and worked in England ever since. Joubert’s long composing career encompasses all genres from symphonic, operatic and chamber works to the ever-popular choral miniatures, Torches and There is no rose. The two Symphonies and three String Quartets are recent additions to a growing catalogue of recordings from across his work list. Latest major commissions include An English Requiem for the 2010 Three Choirs’ Festival and Concerto for Cello and Chamber Orchestra for Raphael Wallfisch as part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. Joubert will be featured composer at the new music wells 73-13 festival in June 2013. You can help commission the Missa Wellensis and Locus iste motet by John Joubert for less than £10 a month (per composer). In return, as a Cathedral Commissioner, you will receive the following benefits:
