The heroic pastoral Daphnis et Egl was performed only once, on 29 October 1753, for the entertainment of King Louis XV at Fontainebleau and remained unpublished until today.This edition is based on Rameau's autograph manuscript, a copy of the separate parts, and the libretto published by Ballard in 1753. A comparison of the sources reveals two versions of the work: the original version and the one revised for Fontainebleau, whereby the differences lie mainly in the final divertissement. This edition recommends the Fontainebleau version—which is actually more complete in its musical form, in particular with its overture and two ariettas—but also reconstructs the original state of the final divertissement (presented in the appendix) before it was revised.

Often sung congregationally to BERKSHIRE, CHURCH TRIUMPHANT, DEVONSHIRE or DUNELM, Charles Wesley's much-loved Christmas hymn receives a new setting from Nigel Ogden. His skills as an outstanding performer, best known perhaps as host of the evergreen Radio 2 series The Organist Entertains, guarantee both a light touch and a serious musical content. Eminently practical, To us a Child of Royal Birth may be performed by single voices or SATB choir without divisions. The music artfully distributes the four verses between full chorus, upper voices, lower voices, and then tutti again. Ogden's winning command of a popular musical idiom is everywhere in evidence, in the beautifully resolved seventh and ninth chords, and in the assured movement of the anthem from its opening key of E flat to its conclusion in a bright and warm resolution of C major.

Erik Bergman composed this work in 1984. It draws its text from two episodes in the Kalevala. In the music Bergman creates tension with a speech chorus, an element he first introduced in the Finnish choral music. The parts of Lemminkainen and his mother are taken by the baritone and mezzo-soprano soloists and the narration is primarily entrusted to the speaker. The musical language is a blend of the primitive and the sophisticated. The climax of the work is the battle scene, entertaining in its ingenuity and artistry.

The message of Slow Down, Moses! for unaccompanied SATB is that, rushed off our feet in the bustle of the world, we must make time to hear the voice of the spirit. The words are a short, highly entertaining paraphrase of a text from Exodus. A light-hearted setting of a serious message, the music contains ample scope for humorous exaggeration, and should prove a hit with audiences and singers alike.
