The three-act operetta LA RONDINE (The Swallow) by Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) was first completed in 1916 and premiered at the Grand Théâtre de Monte Carlo on March 27, 1917. It tells the story of Magda, a Parisian courtesan, who is torn between more transactional love she has chosen and the romantic love of a wife with the young man Ruggero, whom she meets at a small house party of her protector Rambaldo, then again at a Paris nightspot. After leaving to live with Ruggero for some time, she flees back to Rambaldo when Ruggero proposes marriage, declaring that she cannot keep her past a secret and she will not allow her previous life to bring grief to both Ruggero and his parents. Never satisfied, Puccini revised the operetta in both 1920 and 1921, altering the ending each time, and he passed before he settled on the definitive version. The beautiful tenor aria PARIGI! È LA CITTÀ DEI DESIDERI (Paris! It is the city of desire) was not included in the original libretto and added by Puccini to give Ruggero, the romantic lead, something to do in the first act. While it does not move the plot forward, the aria does quickly endear listeners to the Ruggero character. The aria was later cut from the opera and is not usually heard in staged versions, although the music was used again with different text in Puccini's 1917 song MORIRE?, S. 89. This edition of the aria by Michael Kaye is from the second version (1920) of the opera.

This Christmas carol of ancient European origin begins O Sanctissima and was intended as a tribute to the virgin Mary. A 19th-century translation by Falk gave us the words O How Joyfully that are typically associated with this carol. In addition to its colorful history, this carol has a very warm and expressive character. In this setting by Alfred Reed, the lilting melody is interwoven with a heroic trumpet counter-melody. Das Weihnachtslied O du fröhliche ist sehr alt und war ursprünglich einmal ein Lied zu Ehren der Jungfrau Maria. Sein warmherziger und ausdrucksvoller Charakter machen es bis heute zu einem der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Lieder der Weihnachtszeit. Alfred Reed verwob in seiner Bearbeitung die fröhliche Melodie mit einer heroischen Trompeten-Gegenstimme und schuf so einen einfachen, aber wirkungsvollen Programmpunkt für das nächste Weihnachtskonzert.O du fröhliche (Ô nuit bienveillante) est un des plus célèbres noëls allemands. Sa mélodie s’inspire d’un air traditionnel sicilien qui accompagne la prière O Sanctissima, une prière chantée et dédiée la Vierge Marie. En 1816, Johannes Daniel Falk écrit un texte allemand. C’est désormais sous la forme d’un chant de Noël que la prière effectuera le tour du monde. La version d’Alfred Reed reste fidèle la beauté du thème original.

JOHANN STRAUSS II (1825-1899) initially wrote FRÜHLINGSSTIMMEN, Op. 410 (VOICES OF SPRING) as a concert aria. He dedicated the piece, with a libretto by Richard Genée, to pianist-composer Alfred Grünfeld. When Bertha Schwarz (stage name, Bianca Bianchi) sang the first performance at the Theater an der Wien on March 1, 1883, the audience loved it so much that they demanded an encore. The composer wasted no time in arranging a purely orchestral version, which the Strauss Orchestra premiered only seventeen days later. The waltz achieved great success during his Russian tour in 1886. This edition for reduced orchestra was arranged by Adolphe Dumont. Instrumentation: 1.1.2.1: 2.2.1.0: Perc(2): Pno Cond Sc in set: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set). Reprint edition.
