Each volume includes:- suggestions for stylistically appropriate performance bothon the piano and on period instruments- suggested elaborated versions of some pieces and excerpts- a fold-out list of ornamentation signs and the composers' own tables of ornamentation signs- biographies of the composers and the sources of the pieces- translations of foreign-language performance indications. The two volumes devoted to French keyboard music includes close to 50 showy and relatively easy works - preludes, dances, suites, rondeaux, and character pieces - from the early 16th until the late 18th century (ordered chronologically).This publication is printed on high-quality, age-resistant paper that is produced in an environmentally-friendly, climate-neutral manner using renewable raw materials.

The Concerto for Flute and Orchestra, Op. 39 was completed in September of 1992. It was commissioned by James Galway, and is dedicated to him. The work is scored for an orchestra comprised of piccolo, flute, oboe, english horn, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, percussion, harp, piano and strings. The Concerto is in three movements. The first movement, Moderato, is an arc-like form, all of whose components are in fact variations on the harmonic progression of its principal theme. The central section of this movement is a set of explicit chaconne variations on a chorale-version of this progression. The second movement, Adagio molto, presents a lyrical melody which is spun out over a pulsating syncopated ostinato which persists through the entire length of the movement. The final movement, Presto, is a virtuoso work-out for the flutist in a rondo-like form which closes with a Prestissimo coda. The Concerto for Flute and Orchestra has been recorded for release on the BMG label by James Galway with the London Mozart Players conducted by the composer.

Work note by the composer:

When I received the news of this commission, I had no idea what it would lead to. Writing for guitar solo is not the same as composing for orchestra where you have forty voices where you can easily mask an entire section. Here you are very naked to the bone.
The starting point for this work was from J.S. Bach's Chaconne in D-minor that Johannes had performed in concert, originally written for violin but there is a version transcribed for guitar and piano made by Ferruccio Busoni. When I went to Cortona (in Tuscany, Italy) completed the southern mentality of this work.
Arpalineais actually a merged word in Italian language. Arpa means harp, however in a musical context it's more or less resembled with the word arpeggio, which means broken chords. Lineameans line.

The work is divided in three parts.
I. Arpeggio: It starts with an opening chaconne-like sequence and is marked with a certain depth in which the chords starts to separate from the organum note in the bass and it culminates into a section called with rhythmical focus. These sections alternates, variates which each other.
The middle section has a playful and childish atmosphere where the guitarist knocks on the body of the guitar resembling a Spanish folk instrument cajon. This is leading to a section which tends more to a very aggressive fusion-like riff that loses control and reaches its climax at the end.

II. Linea: The static rhytmical pulse is now disintegrated and it forms more or less sort of a free, improvisational state in a rubatolike tempo. The character is described as a very hot day with temperatures rising above 37! C (or 100! F) where you can hardly do anything just sitting dozed off and pespiring because of the extreme heat watching a huge fog coming up in the evening that spreads around the Tuscan atmosphere.

III. Finale: It starts off with fast one-note ostinati then more and more notes pop up like a gradual rain storm with thunder strikes! And eventually it leads to that is a large flood through the streets of an medieval Southern town. The work ends with a short circuit slapped strings along with extremely fast tremolos that reaches higher and louder as possible!

Harrie Janssen composed Analecta Varia in memory of Henk van Lijnschooten (1928-2006).
He has been of great influence on the Dutch music for wind instruments.
As a conductor and as a member of the jury, but above all as a prominent composer.
Consists of eight sound studies that can also be performed separately. In each part a particular orchestral aspect is the central point.

The eight parts
1. Choral: ensemble in monophonic texture.
2. Air: relatively free line patterns combined with a constant pulse.
3. Pavana: constant rhythmicity culminating in an orchestral tutti.
4. Lullaby: dissonant harmonyabove an organ point in a filigree instrumentation.
5. Chaconne: color and virtuosity combined with a rigid pasacaglian theme.
6. Interlude: antithesis woodwind/brass and followed by a synthesis of the before.
7. Fugue: ensemble in a polyphonic texture.
8. Epilogue: final canto in a preponderating strong dynamic, where a constant euphony has to be pursued.

Analecta Varia bestaat uit acht klankstudies die ook afzonderlijk utgevoerd kunnen worden. In iedere deel wordt een bepaald orkestraal facet centraal gesteld.
Harrie Janssen componeerde Analecta Varia ter nagedachtenis aan Henkvan Lijnschooten (1928-2006). Henk van Lijnschooten heeft zich bijzonder verdienstelijk gemaakt voor de Nederlandse blaasmuziek, als dirigent, jurylid maar vooral als zeer toonaangevend componist.

1. Chorale: Samenspelin een homofone textuur.
2. Air: Relatief vrij lijnenspel gecombineerd met een constante puls.
3. Pavana: Constante ritmiek culminerend in een orkestraal tutti.
4. Lullaby: Dissonate samenklankenboven een orgelpunt in een filigraine instrumentatie.
5. Chaconne: Kleur en virtuositeit gecombineerd met een rigide pasacaglia thema.
6. Interlude: Tegenstelling Hout/Koper en een synthese hiervan.
7. Fuga: Samenspel in een polyfone textuur.
8. Epilogue: Slotzang in een overwegend sterke dynamiek, waarbij een constante welluidendheid nagestreefd dient te worden.
