In 1979, Martin produced a set of three quintets, in consideration of Gorky's piece Nighttime Enigma Nostalgia. Each is scored for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano. One role of music is to evoke. Therefore, Nighttime is a nocturne, a night piece suggestive of flickering shadows, perhaps created by firelight. It is a recurrent setting in human existence. The music opens with the scene of twilight calm, gently disturbed with the slight uncertainty about what is around us, what we cannot see. Later, the clarinet takes on a solo role, and the notes bleed like careless paint into the other instruments that quietly sustain them. Next, the flute takes over the role of solo. The piece ends with a repeated cadence of morning light. (From the performance notes.).

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.

“Mélodiste né, Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) était doté d?une voix claire et émouvante qui faisait merveille dans les salons parisiens, comme le rappelle Proust : « (...) la tête légèrement renversée en arrière, la bouche mélancolique, un peu dédaigneuse, laissant s?échapper le flot rythmé de la voix la plus belle, la plus triste et la plus chaude qui ne fut jamais, cet â€â€œinstrument de musique de génieâ€â€œ qui s'appelle Reynaldo Hahn étreint tous les c?urs, mouille tous les yeux, dans le frisson d?admiration qu?il propage au loin et qui nous fait trembler, nous courbe tous l?un après l?autre, dans une silencieuse et solennelle ondulation des blés sous le vent ». Paru chez Heugel le 26 janvier 1896, ce premier volume des Mélodies, qui connut un immense succès, réunit vingt mélodies composées par Reynaldo Hahn et éditées en séparé entre 1891 et 1895 : Rêverie - Si mes Vers avaient des Ailes ! - Mai - Paysage - L'Énamourée - Seule - La Nuit - Offrande - Trois jours de Vendange - Infidélité - Fêtes galantes - Cimetière de campagne - Fleur fanée - L?Incrédule - Les Cygnes - D'une prison - Dernier v?u - Séraphine - Nocturne - À Phidylé.â€.

The concerto is composed in B-flat Major; the solo part is for Trumpet in C. Finished in 1948, the Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra was composed by the French composer, conductor and the 1927 winner of the Grand Prix de Rome, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971), and lasts approximately 14 minutes. Dedicated to the trumpeter Ludovic Vaillant, soloist at the National Orchestra, the Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra was premiered in Paris in 1949. The first part, which lasts 7 minutes, Allegro and Cadenza, begins with a trumpet cadenza and a quiet snare drum background. The Nocturne follows as the second part of this Concerto, and the Finale, the shortest part of the concerto, ends up with a cheerful cartoon-music theme. Henri Tomasi also composed a variety of concerti for alto saxophone and for trombone, as well as some ballades.

The clarinet part is also included on a separate insert. The second piece of the pair, Nocturne for Cello and Piano, is available: item code NOV361054.

Fans of Andy's Firefly and The Moon will love this clever piece written especially for 2-part choirs. Captivating vocal lines take flight over a chilling piano part and evoke the presence of the nocturnal mammal. Quick-changing dynamics, textures, and articulations are both the challenge and the reward of this vivid and vigorous, moody and modal gem. A true thriller that will add variety to programs year-round.
