"...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..."

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 (1936โ38) ("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?

Tempestoso... rubato... precipitato... smanioso... precipitosissimo... To which S do these adjectives relate?

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