Boismortier - Premier Balet de Village - Joseph Boismortier (1689-1755) was unusual for his time in that he had no patron, and worked independantly. Much of his music is for the flute, with his Six Sonatas Op. 91 being most performed now. This is the first of four 'Balets', published in 1734. In two sections, the first in simple time and the second in compound time. Elegant and carefree music. Haydn - Piano Trio in G minor Hob.XV:19 - 2nd movement - This tiny movement crams in much of Haydn's creative style. Cheeky chromaticism, canonic entries, elegantly balanced phrases and good humour prevail, with a virtuosic section for the first flute in the middle. Delibes - Les Trois Oiseaux - A French composer known mostly for vocal works, this piece was originally a song for two sopranos and piano. The rippling semiquavers suggest the fluttering wings of the birds in the title. Phillipe Gaubert - Divertissement Grec - Originally for two flutes and harp, this sways seductively ebbing and flowing like the waves on a Mediterranean beach. Josef Suk – Bagatela - Joseph Suk was a Czech composer and violinist. He studied under Dvorak, whose daughter he married. His only composition in regular performance now is his Serenade for Strings Op. 6, but he wrote a large amount of music in all genres. This is a charmingly relaxed piece, displaying some of his Czech influences.

Haydn composed over 100 compositions, each in three movements, for his wealthy employer Nicolas Esterhazy, who played the six-string instrument called a Baryton, which in shape looked much like our modern day cello, but, of course, with six rather the cello four strings. His original scores were composed of three lines: the solo part, an inner filler part for viola and a bass part. I have realized the piano part. These transcriptions were created to give the solo trombonist an experience with classical music.

The music is in an elegant style and a joy to perform as arranged by Mr. Trevarthen.

The six works included in the collection are as follows:
No. 2 in G (Theme and Variations)
No. 26 in F
No. 49 in F
No. 55 in F
No. 77 in F
No. 95 in B-flat

The works are between 6 and 9 minutes in length each and suitable for moderately advanced performers.
