LULLABY from The Unicorns (1967/82/86) 'The Lullaby from ‘The Unicorns’ arose from an opera libretto I commissioned from John Heath-Stubbs (1918-2006) in the late 1960s. In his story two unicorns are discovered in a remote part of Africa. Both the East and West want to obtain them for research so they send out rival expeditions. The Western technique is to lure the unicorn with a young girl singing a lullaby. Both East and West capture unicorns but the mythical animals escape in the end. I never completed the opera but I made a six movement suite from it called The Unicorns. There arethree songs and three instrumental numbers and the first performance was given with Elisabeth Söderström and Solna Brass under Lars-Gunnar Björklund at Ekensbergskyrkan Solna Sweden on 31 October 1982. This version was recorded (Albany TROY 760) and my arrangement of the three songs for voice and piano was recorded by Marilyn Hill Smith (Albany TROY365). The career of the Lullaby continued with a version for clarinet and piano which I premiered with Jack Brymer aboard the Sea Princess in the Mediterranean on 29 September 1986. The oboe version was for Sarah Francis and Duke Dobing and I have recorded it for flute and piano (Naxos 8.572287). Lullaby can be played with a variety of solo instruments and is also available for piano left hand and piano solo which I have recorded.' - Peter Dickinson

Roland C30 Digital Harpsichord including stool. Experience the elegance of baroque music.While producing authentically exquisite centuries-old harpsichord sounds and drawing inspiration from 21st century ingenuity the Roland Classic Series C30 Digital Harpsichord uses digital technology to enhance playability and expressiveness. Whether you are a virtuoso or a novice the C30 makes it possible for you to spend as much quality time as you want with the harpsichord. Taking up little space the styling of the C30 is modelled on the virginals. With an authentic wooden cabinet and a high-quality mahogany finish the traditional and simple styling will beright at home in a classic or modern interior. The period styling is enhanced by stained glass on the stand and the decorative panel on the keyboard lid. The C30 can easily switch between the built-in French and Flemish types of harpsichord. Both of these have four dispositions— 8’ I (back eight) 8’ II (front eight) 4’ (upper octave) and lute (buff mute) — and each disposition has its own dedicated selection button. You can play with a single disposition or layer more than one. The C30 also has an excellent fortepiano sound and has two admirable sampled organ options - 8' flute (ideal for solo accompaniment) and 8'+4' Principal which is ideal for use with a choir. The digital C30 doesn’t need tuning and you can simply switch the pitch from a=440 to baroque (415 Hz) and French baroque (392 Hz). If for ensemble playing you need to match the C30 to other instruments fine pitch adjustments can be made. You can easily take the C30 with you to group rehearsals and live performances. Even if the temperature and humidity vary you can be sure that the pitch will remain accurate. Time-consuming maintenance is a thing of the past. Now you can just turn on and play. As well as equal temperament you can select Werckmeister Kirnberger Vallotti and Meantone tuning

Harmonious Herbst is a cantata for chorus soprano solo and chamber orchestra with flute oboe bassoon and strings. It is based on five spiritual songs in the collection entitled Hymns To Be Sung At The Pianoforte by Johannes Herbst (1735-1812) bishop of the Moravian church in Pennsylvania. Many of these hymns have been researched edited and published by Monica Schantz chair of the Moravian College music department in Bethlehem Pa. I am grateful to her for bringing them to my attention and trust that these gentle expansions of Johannes Herbst's melodies will prove acceptable to the heirs of his singing tradition. --Alice Parker

This sophisticated setting is befitting of the timeless poetry of young writer Hannah Senesh one of the tragic heroes of the Holocaust. Blessed is the match she writes allegorically consumed in kindling flame. The choir makes way for solo flute (or violin) lines for a haunting effect. Sung in Hebrew this piece is a moving addition to any memorial service or Shoah program.
