THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF ST ANDREW IN WELLS

Services and Music List

May and June 2013

WELCOME The Services and Music List for May and June takes us into the seasons of Pentecost and Trinity when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples, and the birth of the church formed and guided by that same Spirit. Musically it also includes this year’s new music wells festival, which celebrates music composed in the last forty years. This year we are fortunate to have two new pieces written especially for Wells Cathedral Choir by the celebrated composer John Joubert. These will receive their first performances on Sunday June 16th. Do read through the Services and Music List, as there are several other musical and spiritual highlights in these months. If you are visiting Wells in May and June I hope that you will come and join in the prayer and worship of this great cathedral, where music contributes so greatly to the beauty of holiness. The Very Reverend John Clarke, Dean of Wells Communicant members of other churches in good standing are welcome to receive the Sacrament in this church if they so desire. CANONS IN RESIDENCE

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 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 is the featured composer at the new music wells 73-13 festival in June 2013. You could join a growing band of commissioners by supporting next year’s featured composer (to be announced soon) for less than £10 a month (per composer). As a Cathedral Commissioner, you will receive the following benefits:

• You will be invited to meet the composer • You will receive a signed copy of the new work’s score • You will be invited to special rehearsals • You will be invited to a commissioners’ reception after the world première • You will be directly supporting a composer’s work and the Music Foundation of
