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.The Concerto for Flute and Orchestra, Op. 39 was completed in September of 1992.

After the chaos of the recording sessions for the Beatles' last two late '60s records, Paul suggested to producer George Martin that they record an album like they used to earlier in their career, with all band members present. The result of this effort was one of the finest rock albums ever created. Celebrating the album's recent 50th anniversary, our medley includes Something, Here Comes the Sun, Come Together, Octopus's Garden, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, She Came Through the Bathroom Window and The End.

Originally recorded by Monika Herzig and a cast of musical collaborators from around the globe on her 2016 album, The Whole World in Her Hands, Oh, Muddy Waters is a bluesy call-and-response between bass instruments and the whole ensemble. Monika has arranged the small group version for big band, with modest brass ranges, suggested piano voicings, and solo space for tenor sax and guitar (or piano). Solo transcriptions are provided that match the recording note-for-note. Laid-back, soft syncopations and a rich harmonic language bring to life a composition that builds on that initial bass riff. Top trumpet note: G5.

Among the most famous of twentieth-century art songs, Sea Fever has been imaginatively recreated for solo piano by Roderick Williams, whose accomplishments as a master of English lieder are matched by a composer's ear for the latent potential of an existing work. In this case, the inspiration was the playing of the dedicatee, the notable British pianist Maria Marchant, and the suggestion of Bruce Phillips of the John Ireland Trust for a 'free arrangement' in the manner of Liszt. In fact, the new version remains true to the original while offering the performer a degree of poetical bravura by no means superfluous or transcendental. It could well be programmed with other piano music by John Ireland, or stand alone as a highly effective and instantly recognised encore. A recording by Maria Marchant is now available from SOMM Recordings (SOMMCD 0174).

,I want to make an edition that is not a Koopman interpretation, but contains only that which Handel really wrote.' (Ton Koopman)
ISBN 9790004331002. 9 x 12 inches.
Ton Koopman's new edition of all 16 organ concertos by Handel has drawn to a close. The quality of this edition has been highly praised from all quarters. Source-critical responsibility goes hand in hand with a high level of performance practice when Koopman provides interpretative tips for the ad libitum passages in the organ part without restricting the creativity of the interpreter who is interested in stylistic matters and prefers to work out his own solutions. Whoever wishes to hear the entire Koopman edition on CD can look forward to the new recording by Christian Schmitt and the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester (Brilliant Classics). This is the first recording for which all 16 new Koopman editions were used as the basis for the performance.I want to make an edition that is not a Koopman interpretation, but contains only that which Handel really wrote. Nevertheless, there are occasional performance suggestions in small print which are elucidated in the Critical Commentary. (Ton Koopman in Concerto) Koopman offers a basically unmarked text, thus leaving the performance details up to the performer. Especially note-worthy is the clear printing, extensive preface and detailed Critical Notes. (Katholische Kirchenmusik),I want to make an edition that is not a Koopman interpretation, but contains only that which Handel really wrote.' (Ton Koopman).
