Geoffrey Bush's Summer Serenade is a refreshingly enjoyable work, written on the wing of inspiration, essentially sunny and life-enhancing. The eclectic style is readily diatonic, the harmonies never make one shudder and the rich melodic flow is appealingly direct. The settings of an ingenious selection of verse are in the best traditions of British choral writing. Performance time approx. 20 minutes.
Made up of 7 parts, including Prologue, Madrigal, Scherzo, Dirge, Aubade, Nocturne and Finale.Orchestration varies between theseparts - they are scored for chorus and orchestra, unaccompanied voices or Tenor solo and orchestra.

The composition of works for solo piano runs through Hans Gal's entire oeuvre. Like all of the piano reductions for his operas, cantatas and solo concertos, the piano reduction of the Piano Concerto Op. 57 was written by the composer himself. First performed in Bournemouth in 1949, the Piano Concerto fell into oblivion after 1959, only to be performed again in 2009 by Hartmut Hudezeck for the first time in 50 years. The chamber-musical texture of the Piano Concerto - each part literally plays a role and has an independent contrapuntal function makes rehearsing with the aid of the piano reduction virtually indispensable. The present critical new edition was prepared by Anthony Fox with the essential support of Hartmut Hudezeck, who, thanks to his practical performance experience and his expertise in the field, was able to address not only questions of content but also of performance practice. Moreover, the edition benefits from Sarah Beth Briggs's annotations, who first recorded the work with the Royal Northern Sinfonia under the baton of Kenneth Woods on CD. The Concerto is notable for its tightly organized musical material shared equally between soloist and orchestra: ...attractive and accessible... (Erik Levi, BBC Music Magazine).

Reinhard Keiser, highly regarded by his contemporaries as a composer (primarily of operas), also wrote a considerable number of sacred works, such as cantatas, masses, passions, and oratorios. Among these works, most of which are lost, this Dialogus von der Geburt Christi, published here for the first time, occupies a special place as Keiser's only surviving Christmas oratorio. It is a an alternative to the current Christmas repertoire. Opulently scored, well-known Christmas chorales are presented, while in other movements the intimacy of the scene at the crib is evoked. The colorful and finely nuanced instrumentation is contrasted with freely flowing, easily singable choral movements. Score and part available separately - see item CA.1038600.
