“French composer and conductor, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Gregorian Variations on a Salve Ragina 1964. As with his other wind compositions, Gregorian Variations for Trumpet and String Orchestra and Organ reduction was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille, but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured in to musical studies by his parents, Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor, and during the summer, he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However, in 1921, he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and went on to become a high profile composer and conductor. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes, often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother into his compositions. Gregorian Variations on a Salve Regina is a highly unusual and modern work based on an old Marian Hymn (a song for the Virgin Mary). The variations exploit tonality, rhythm and structure amongst other aspects. This Tomasi piece is suitable for advanced trumpeters, providing an exciting, alternative addition to the instrument's repertoire.â€.

Composer and organist, Joseph Bonnet (1884-1944) is considered one of the most major French pipe organ players. It is no surprise, therefore, that his Concert Variations for Organ are very well informed. Following his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, Bonnet took over as concert organist at the institution. Concert Variations for Organ was compiled in 1906, soon after his graduation. The work begins with a helpful index of the organ registrations and performance directions. Concert Variations begins with a virtuosic, cadenza-like theme in E minor. Following this, four variations are heard, all containing contrast in organ sound, tonality and exploited melody and rhythm. For all advanced, aspiring organists, Bonnet's Concert Variations is an essential addition to the repertoire.

This piece comprises a series of variations on the melody of “Ami, dans cette vie†(“Friend, in this lifeâ€), an 18th century French song. Like the famous poem “Canzona de Bacco†by Lorenzo de' Medici, this song invites the listener to enjoy life, friendships, love and wine while there is still time to do so. The epicurean nature of this text contrasts with a deeply melancholic melody, a contradiction which is explored in the present work. After a somewhat turbulent first part, the original melody is revealed in a serene and pensive middle section which highlights several soloists. In the last movement, the atmosphere is transformed to become increasingly exuberant, like a Bacchus incantation. The piece concludes with a final dazzling statement of the original theme. Canzona di Bacco was commissioned by the Vesoul Municipal Wind Band, who premiered the work on 24 June 2022 at the Edwige Feuillère Theatre in Vesoul (France), under the direction of Mathieu Anguenot.

Dutch composer, artist and poet Adriaen Valerius is mostly remembered today for his collection of 79 songs for voice and lute or cittern, published posthumously in 1626. Philip Sparke has taken one melody from this collection that tells of the War of Independence with Spain. The beautiful slow melody is followed by a series of lively variations to form an extremely entertaining piece that will bring great joy to all who perform and listen to it. De dichter Adriaen Valerius (ca. 1575-1625) is vooral bekend om zijn collectie van 79 liederen voor zang en luit of citer (postuum gepubliceerd in 1626): de Nederlandtsche Gedenck-clanck. Het boek is een verzameling van degedichten die hij had gemaakt op reeds bestaande populaire melodieën. Het is een van de vroegst gepubliceerde bronnen van het Wilhelmus. Voor Valerius Variations is de bekende melodie gebruikt van Merck toch hoe sterck,waarvan de tekst vertelt over de Nederlandse onafhankelijkheidsoorlog tegen Spanje.Variationen über eine Melodie von Adriaen Valerius Philip Sparke entdeckte die Melodie, die er in Valerius Variations verwendete, in einer Sammlung des holländischen Poeten und Künstlers Adriaen Valerius aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. In Valerius’ Sammlung gehörte sie zu einem Lied über den holländischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg mit Spanien, Valerius selbst nennt als Quelle ein Lied namens Comediantendans und zuvor wurde sie vermutlich schon von englischen Seeleuten gesungen. Philip Sparke setzte die bewegte Geschichte dieser offensichtlich über Jahrhunderte allseits beliebten Melodie mit dieser Variationsreihe fort.L’artista e poeta olandese Adriaen (Adrianus) Valerius (ca. 1575-1625) deve la sua notoriet ad una raccolta di 79 canti poetici per voce, liuto o chitarra raccolti in un’opera postuma pubblicata nel 1626 con il nome di Nederlantsche Gedenck-clank (Memorie sonore olandesi). Valerius Variations è basato su un canto patriottico olandese il cui testo evoca la guerra d’Indipendenza contro la Spagna. Questa melodia deriva in effetti da un antico canto marino inglese. Adriaen Valerius gli diede il nome di Comediantendans (La danza dei commedianti).
