This collection of piano solos from Lloyd Larson builds upon the popularity of A Keyboard Festival of Hymns, Vol. 1 (70/2421L). Like its predecessor, this volume features five arrangements adapted for four-hand piano from Lloydâ??s cantata, A Festival of Hymns. These pieces may be performed as stand-alone selections, or they may function as an accompaniment for several correlating choral arrangements Lloyd has released over the years. Pianists will enjoy the symphonic treatment given to these hymns, and congregations will be blessed as they hear time-honored melodies come to life in a new way.

Commissioned for the BBC Proms Chamber Concerts in 2000, Vaporize is alive with rhythmic energy and sharp syncopations. Dedicated to John McCabe after Duddell was impressed with the opening chorale of McCabe's 'Cloudcatcher Fells', the eight minute work owes its freshness and vitality to Duddell's clarity of part writing, sparing use of the pedal and the preference for a non-legato touch.

Charles Camilleri (1931 - 2009) was a Maltese composer. As a teenager, he composed a number of works based on folk music and legends of his native Malta. He moved from his early influences by Maltese folk music to a musical form in which nothing is fixed and his compositions evolve from themselves with a sense of fluency and inevitability. He composed over 100 works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, voice and solo instruments. Camilleri's work has been performed throughout the world and his research of folk music and improvisation, the influences of the sounds of Africa and Asia, together with the academic study of European music, helped him create a universal style. Camilleri is recognized in Malta as one of the major composers of his generation. He died on 3 January 2009 at the age of 77. His funeral took place two days later at Naxxar, his long-time town of residence. Flags across Malta were flown at half-mast in tribute to him.

Das muntere Werk komponierte Harald Heilmann in einem Satz, wobei zwei Moderato-Teile einen miteinander korrespondierenden Rahmen bilden: Der Eröffnungsteil wird nach einem Mittelteil wiederholt und schließlich mit einem temporeichen Schluss und sich stetig steigernder Dynamik beendet. Für den Komponisten ist die Wiederholung ein adäquates musikalisches Mittel, um bei den Spieler/innen und Hörer/innen einen Wiedererkennungseffekt hervorzurufen und damit Vertrautheit zu schaffen. In diesem Sinne setzt er melodische und rhythmische Motive wiederholt ein, allerdings in immer neuen Zusammenhängen und Harmonien, so dass ein gleichsam farbiges und lebendiges Tongemälde entsteht. Wechselnoten und die Durchmischung der überwiegend binären mit gelegentlichen ternären Rhythmen schaffen rhythmische Lebendigkeit; lange Noten und Pausen geben dem Stück eine innere Struktur. In Auftrag gegeben wurde das Werk von dem bulgarischen Konzertpianisten, Komponisten und Klavierpädagogen Ivan Shekov. Die Uraufführung erfolgte am 17. Oktober 1999 durch Julia Taube und Anika Wippich in Tettnang, wo der Auftraggeber an der dortigen Musikschule unterrichtete. Das Stück, das für fortgeschrittene junge Musiker/innen ebenso geeignet ist wie für professionelle Künstler/innen auf dem Konzertpodium, bietet viel Raum für die musikalische Ausgestaltung des Titels: Die Spielanweisung a tempo beinhaltet die Erwartung bzw. Möglichkeit, mit Tempowechseln zu arbeiten. Da der Komponist selbst keine Angaben dazu in den Notentext gesetzt hat, ist hier die individuelle künstlerische Freiheit eines jeden einzelnen Interpretenduos gefragt. (Ulrike Lausberg).
