Prima Luce (First Light) was commisioned by the Holy Angels Elementary School located in Aurora (USA). The name of the town (which means dawn), the town’s great religious history and the fact that this town was one of the first in the USA to have streetlights were the inspiration for this Gregorian influenced atmospheric composition. In The Four Noble Truths ('Die vier edlen Wahrheiten') hat sich Philip Sparke mit den vier Grundbegriffen der Lehre Buddhas befasst und sie in ein eindrucksvolles viersätziges Werk umgesetzt. Die Einteilung der Begriffe in zwei Paare - die Ursachen und die Reduzierung von Belastungen im Leben eines jeden Menschen beschreibend - spiegelt sich in zwei schnellen und zwei langsamen Sätze wider. Lassen Sie sich auf dieses faszinierende Werk des großen englischen Komponisten ein!

Exceptional singer Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) owes his early successes to the ?songs for voice and piano? genre, whose raison d?etre he defines in his journal as follows: ?To highlight a poem, word for word but without uniformity; to emphasize its meaning without distorting it; to shine light upon one idea, obscure another and present it all in vocal, sung form; to produce a sharp, precise sensation by touching a heartstring or evoking an image - all in a well-structured and tastefully written piece?. Enhanced by an audio version attached as a download card, this anthology of songs should dispel a good many misconceptions. This is no salon miniature: L?Heure exquise radiates an infinite tenderness, exalted by the high vocal cadences of O Bien-Aimee! and C?est l?heure exquise, which surely wrought tears from the author of the verses, Verlaine. Tyndaris, the jewel of Heures latines, clears a crystal-clear space given over to the delights of slumber and of love. Like D?une prison and Cygnes, these songs do more than wet the eyes: they grip the heart..

Eigh teenth-century England was full of amateur musicians making music without fanfare at home. Some of them were also gifted composers, and among the best was Benjamin Skinner (1728–1757) from what was then the village of Bromley near Bow, today part of London’s East End. Skinner’s main publication was a set of six sonatas for flute, violin or solo harpsichord, which came out in 1752. These unpretentious pieces, then as now well suited to performance by amateurs or by musicians in training, are full of delights, mixing stylistic features inspired by Purcell or Handel with evocations of English popular vocal music and also the newer galant style introduced from Italy. Perhaps these sonatas work best with flute and basso continuo, but the other two performance options are good alternatives.

Fast food is especially popular with today’s youth, even though it is generally acknowledged to be quite unhealthy. Peter Kleine Schaars’ new composition, on the other hand, will provide some healthy food for the soul and mind. Fast Food features four courses: Pizza Pronto, presenting Italian delights, Crazy Kebab, Arabian delicacies, the American Cheese Burger, and an exciting Hot Dog Disco. Bon appetite! Vooral bij de jeugd zeer populair: fast food! Of het gezond is, laten we hier maar in het midden. Dat het goed klinkt, weten we wel zeker! Peter Kleine Schaars serveert maar liefst vier gangen: Pizza Pronto, in Italiaanse stijl geschreven,Crazy Kebab, lekker Arabisch gekruid, dan gevolgd door Cheese Burger en Hot Dog Disco in discostijl. Eet smakelijk!Fast Food ist bekanntlich besonders bei der Jugend sehr beliebt, auch wenn es nicht gerade gesund sein soll. Gesundheitlich völlig unbedenklich hingegen ist diese pfiffige Komposition von Peter Kleine Schaars, in dem das Blasorchester seinem Publikum nacheinander vier musikalische Gänge serviert: Pizza Pronto, im italienischen Stil geschrieben, Crazy Kebab, arabisch angehaucht, gefolgt von Cheese Burger und Hot Dog Disco im Disco-Stil. Guten Appetit!Fast Food est un terme bien connu des jeunes, même si le mode de restauration que désigne cette expression n’est pas toujours recommandable au niveau du bien-être alimentaire. Cette composition de Peter Kleine Schaars se veut cependant totalement inoffensive pour la santé de votre orchestre ou de votre public, et les quatre mets qu’elle propose Pizza Pronto, Crazy Kebab, Cheese Burger et Hot Dog Disco seront des plus digestes. Bon appétit! Fast Food è un termine particolarmente popolare tra i giovani, anche se non sempre sinonimo di qualit . Questa composizione di Peter Kleine Schaars è però un vero toccasana per il pubblico che apprezzer la “freschezza†dei quattro “piatti†proposti: Pizza Pronto, Crazy Kebab, Cheese Burger e Hot Dog Disco.

Comm issioned by Bromsgrove Concerts with financial assistance from Arts Council England 1st perf: Smith Quartet, Artrix, Bromsgrove, 27 February 2009 Favoured by English composers from Purcell to Vaughan Williams and Britten, the ground-bass form receives a contemporary makeover in Morgan Hayes's Dances on a Ground. Artfully four-square, a cello ostinato stays stubbornly true to its original thoughts. Meanwhile, above it a capricious ensemble of two violins and viola swaggers its way through flights of melody and jumpy pizzicati to an ecstatic conclusion. Commissioned by Bromsgrove Concerts with funding provided by Arts Council England, Dances on a Ground was first performed by the innovative Smith Quartet at the Artrix, Bromsgrove, on 27 February 2009.

Skil fully written for a range of instruments that suffer from a dearth of repertoire, Bryan Kelly's Brass Bagatelles offer a variety of enticing moods and styles at an intermediate level that will ensure their popularity amongst brass players of around Grades 4 to 5 standard. The first two movements - a stern minuet and rollicking march - take a tongue-in-cheek look at aspects of ceremonial music. The third, marked 'Tenero' is more introspective, a winsome tune in lilting rhythm. The finale is a gig that contrasts wicked offbeat accents with smooth melody - very typical of this composer - and ends with a splendid glissando from the piano. Many of Bryan Kelly's pieces for brass have featured on examination syllabuses over the years - reflecting his talent to create fresh, approachable music that delights students, teachers and examiners alike.
