Powhatan County, Virginia was named after the great Native-American Chief Powhatan, whose confederacy of tribes once dominated the costal Virginia plain. He is most remembered for being the father of Pocahontas. His people are best known as the Native Americans who helped the Jamestown colonists survive. Several of these original tribes still exist today. The composer was inspired by the essence of this region and the James River which borders the northern portion of the county.

French composer, Georges Delerue (1925-1992) is best remembered as a composer for film and television. However, his other compositions remain popular, Concertino for Trumpet being no exception. Delerue studied at the Paris Conservatoire where he won many prizes. His catalogue is hugely varied, from film scores to large symphonic works. Concertino for Trumpet was published in 1951 and remains a favourite in the advanced trumpeter's repertoire. Comprising two movements, the work exploits tonality and rhythm, as well as extended techniques. As a modern, exciting work, Delerue's Concertino for Trumpet is an essential, varied addition to the Trumpet repertoire..

String Quartet No.2 was written in 1951, and dedicated to Percy and Ella Grainger. It is recognised as one of his least extravagant creations, but is nevertheless a solid work which is continually underappreciated.
Cyril Scott (1879-1970) was a British composer, pianist and poet. His most popular works, which he is largely remembered by today, were written in the years preceding the Second World War, however he continued to compose prolifically, in the face of indifference from the outside world, right up until his death at the age of 91. His music is predominantly in the Romantic style, and serves as a tasteful reminder of a bygoneage.
