Richard Reed Parry's Heart And Breath Sextet for Piano Six-hands Violin Viola and Violoncello.Heart And Breath Sextet was commissioned by the 2011 MusicNOW Festival foryMusic.'This piece is based around the idea of using the widely varying internal rhythms of the performers? bodies as performance parameters. There is no actual tempo or meter built into the piece. The breathing ratesof the players are used in alternation with the individualperformers? heart rates to determine the pace at which all of the musical material is played. This requires that the performers generally play quietly and delicately so asto be able to hear their heartbeats adequately. This in combination with the natural variance between the different heart rates results in a kind of delicate musical ?pointillism?: starts and stops which are somewhat staggered parts which repeatedly line up and fall out of synch with each other different individuals? pulses rising and falling. The piece is never performed exactly the same way twice.In this piece the pianists wear stethoscopespositioned over their hearts so that each can follow his or her own heart rate. Two eighth notes (quavers) correspond to the two sounds of a single normal heartbeat and performers should match as closely as possible the staccatoand irregular rhythm they hear. The strings are instructed to ?play to breath?; the natural cycle of one inhalation and one exhalation or vice versa will determine the length of the bar (two quarter notes/crotchets) without anyattempt to make it metronomic. When one instrument is designated the leader their breath will determine the starts of phrases and the procession from one bar to the next cuing other parts if necessary.' - RichardReed Parry

Works For Piano Duet-'Flee the storms.' Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947) put this motto of classical artists at the heart of his music for piano four hands preferring the balance of proportions to the roar of passions the eclecticism of good taste charm and delicacy. Berceuses falls within the French tradition of children's music such as illustrated by Fauré's Dolly and Ravel's Ma mère l’Oye. These seven pieces evoke with refinement the happiness of a cloudless day the effervescence that reigns on Christmas Eve or the gentle syncopated rocking of a young Creole Selfiana. The Variations puériles sur une mélodie de CarlReinecke manifest a free whimsical vein whereas the Trois préludes sur des airs irlandais drink at the pure sources of folk music borrowing their thematic material from the famous collection Songs of Old Ireland which Stanford had brought out in 1882. Published for the first time from a handwritten score the Variations sur un thème de Charles Levadé end with a wild quadrille that takes the heroes of the celebration to the nearest inn. The Pièce en forme d’aria et Bergerie from 1896 finely polished takes up with the ambiance of the pastorale popular in the 17th century.

Ballet Suite-Cole Porter's only attempt at a “serious” composition came with the ballet score Within the Quota when Darius Milhaud suggested Porter as a composer to pair with his La Création du monde.Both pieces were rapturously received by the Parisian press at the October 1923 premiere at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. Cole Porter later believed the score to be lost. In 1970 the score was discovered at Yale from which William Bolcom and Richard Rodney Bennett created this two-Piano version.The ballet is about an immigrant to New York who encounters a seductive heiress atap-dancer a flapper a cowboy and a movie star beauty.

Slavonic Dances op. 72 for Piano Four-hands-With the publication of the second volume all of the ?Slavonic Dances? are now available in Urtext. Following the resounding success of the first series op. 46 which immediately made the composer famous around the world thepublisher urged him to write more. Dvo ák only got down to work on them eight years later announcing ?I think these will be very different?. And indeed the difference cannot be missed: the second series is singled out bygreater formal freedom and more colourful harmony. Whereas Opus 46 is for the most part characterised by sparkling high spirits (HN757) in Opus 72 there are also quieter notes: melancholy and poetry find their way into theexuberant dance.
