Critical Edition by The Rued Langgaard Edition.

Of all his early chamber works the Nocturne is most clearly by the mature Vaughan Williams almost anticipating the influence of Ravel which followed his lessons from the French composer in 1908. In the veiled beauty of its highly chromatic harmonies we hear already the tone-poet of the slow movement of A London Symphony while in the fleet-footed Scherzo there is already a French influence in the way the folk-song is subtly woven into the texture only brief snatches of the tune being heard until the penultimate page when it receives fuller treatment. The work plays for about 10 minutes. The 1904 Scherzo is a vigorous march with fugal episodes whichlasts some 6 minutes and may effectively be performed by itself.

From the stage production Mame comes this spirited holiday march that adds welcome variety to the holiday fare. Ted's new version for string groups is written for players to sound their very best with limited rehearsal. A super choice for any group.

This lively movement is adapted from Vivaldi's Concerto for Two Guitars carefully crafted for String Ensemble by Steven Frackenpohl.

At first glance the Introduzioni appear to be lively three-movement works with a standardized order of movements and harmonic order: fast - slow - fast major - minor - major. With regard to style the short symphonies resemble the Neapolitan opera buffa the descriptive title Introduzioni implying the function the introduction to stage works.With his 6 Introduzioni teatrali composed in 1735 the talented Italian violinist and composer Pietro Antonio Locatelli who had lived in Amsterdam since 1729 perhaps paid tribute to the great demand on the part of the Dutch amateur orchestras. But were the master and his oeuvre actually as well adjusted as it seems? Locatelli'sworks were well known throughout Europe until the end of the 18th century although the composer led a very secluded life. He had no students and never performed in public. In his adopted city Amsterdam he worked freely without being controlled by the church or the court. An unusual lifestyle for an 18th-century composer – and also an unusual composition?

Full Score-In Japan there is an old tale which has been told since before time began. Two of the most beautiful stars in the night sky are Altair representing Man and Vega representing Woman. These two lovers can meet each other only one time each year on the night of July 7th. Living on opposite sides of the Milky Way they have to ride a ship to meet each other on that night. If it rains they cannot see each other because the river of the light in the sky is swollen. The name of the star ship that Altair and Vega ride is called Hoshi no Fune. I wanted to express in music the pain of these separated lovers.

The latest in a series of pieces written for CoMA string players  Bee Haven is a sound environment an imaginary outdoor space populated by plants flowers and bees. The sound of honeybee humming is the main focus of the work; around this the bees’ ‘haven’ (a living environment free from agricultural poisons and habitat destruction) is created through quiet air noise and gentle brushing of the instruments. There are no events in the piece save one brief flurry of rain; placing themselves within it listeners become part of the imagined space for the duration of the work.

für zwei Violinen und Viola oder drei Violinen-'This work brings me as much pleasure as if I were writing a major symphony...'. This was how Dvorak communicated to his publisher Simrock the joy he felt while working on Op.75a (Miniatures for Two Violins and Viola) and he immediately set about reworking it for Violin and Piano giving it a new title Romantic Pieces. The four short movements fully evoke the atmosphere of home music-making for which it was written. The Czech edition goes by the title Drobnosti (Miniatures) and is accompanied by a short Gavotte dated 1890 and also written in a simpler style for three Violins. This title is part of the first Complete CriticalEdition of Works by Antonin Dvorak.
