John Joubert's compositional range is considerable, yet it is with his short choral works in the Anglican tradition that his mastery has been best appreciated.
Here for the first time collected in one handsome volume are a dozen of the finest, with texts from both the biblical and non-liturgical.
This anthology from a lifetime's output is convincing proof of a composer who still has much new to say in this most demanding medium.
