Good random stuff, ams!
The scattergun approach may yet yield dividends!"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

An old friend returns...
Cyril Bradley Rootham is the R we R after, I believe...
Very oddly, it is the Dutch version of Wikipedia that assisted me, by giving a much more detailed list of works.
Perhaps Dr. Rootham is big in the Netherlands...
So we have:
1921 South Wind, voor zangstem en piano - tekst: Siegfried Lorraine Sassoon
1926 Eight Bells, voor mannenkoor - tekst: Sir John Collings Squire
The 'St John' element could either be his Symphony no. 2 in D major, for orchestra with choral finale (1936–38) ("The Revelation of St. John"; incomplete; completed by Patrick Hadley) - or the fact that young Cyril was a Fellow of and organist at St. John's College, Cambridge...
PS was Siegfried Sassoon's middle name really Lorraine?

Don't suppose Sir could condescend to explaining the answer? If it's not too much trouble...
