Preces And Responses

For Unaccompanied SATB chorus.

First performed on Wednesday 11th August 2010, given by the choirs of Gloucester Cathedral, Hereford Cathedral and Worcester Cathedral, conducted by Adrian Partington, at the 283rd Three Choirs Festival.

'In Joubert’s setting the priest’s part is sung in speech rhythm in some places, but in others it is measured and occasionally interlocks with the choral parts. The harmonic style vacillates between a language that is recognizably Joubert’s and one that seems to recall Elgar’s partsongs.'
