Larry Pruden (1925-1982) is one of a handful of New Zealand composers who studied under Benjamin Frankel at London's Guildhall School of Music. Pruden's significant contribution to the establishment of a genuine New Zealand vernacular lives on in the works for which he is best known. The music in this volume is intriguing and demonstrates Pruden's romantic ideal and his broadly impressionistic technique.

Premiered at the Shawnee Press 75th Anniversary Concert at Carnegie Hall, February 17th, 2014, this powerful and inspirational work sings of “hope” described through the phases of life, such as a newborn's cry, the laughter of children, the ashes of the fire of love that has died, the quiet comfort of a dream. Set to haunting and dynamic music with piano or optional orchestration, the gorgeous work comes to a moving conclusion of: “Hope is not lost; hope is not gone. It is not dead; it still lives on. Hope will arise!&rdquo.

I attended a birthday party for my friend, the writer Gail Godwin, at the home of another friend, Frances Halsband. Frances played for me the birdsong of a Wilson's Warbler, a new species to me. Attracted by this sound I proceeded to compose a set of pieces called Mimesis, the individual movements of which are related to creatures of nature. The first movement, Warblemusic, is written for Frances Halsband, remembering Robert Kliment; Owls is for Gail Godwin, remembering Robert Starer; Snail and Parakeet, remembering Richard W. Zingler (my grandfather, who had a parakeet); and Frog Chorus, remembering John Thompson's First Grad Book out of which I studied at age seven, its Frog's Chorus being my favorite selection. -Richard Wilson.

Piano

For Piano. Composed by Engelbert Humperdinck. Edited by Hinrich Alpers. Piano. Classical. Softcover. 12 pages. Duration 120 seconds. Schott Music #ED23532. Published by Schott Music (HL.49046798).

UPC: 196288026372.

The present dedication composition Erinnerung by Engelbert Humperdinck is a discovery of historical significance. Until recently hidden in the poetry album of his sister Ernestine, who died at an early age, this little tune from 1871 already shows the only 17-year-old Humperdinck to be a romantically sensitive inventor of melodies and accomplished composer.
