This popular folk song from the Hebei Province, a unique geographical area surrounding the capital city of Beijing, is a great favorite there because of its memorable melody. In his score notes Mr. Wang explains that Chinese duets resemble a question-and-answer conversation between voices, which aptly describes the form and character of this setting for student strings. Duration 3:10.

Ludwig van Beethoven stellte seine 8. Sinfonie am 27. Februar der Offentlichkeit vor; zuvor erklangen anlasslich dieser Akademie das Schwesterwerk, die Sinfonie Nr. 7 A-Dur, sowie die Schlachtensinfonie 'Wellingtons Sieg oder die Schlacht bei Vittoria', die Beethoven einen seiner grossten Erfolge als Komponist bescherte. Zwar war die Aufnahme der Achten durch das Publikum nach den vorangegangenen Programmpunkten eher kuhl, und auch heute noch steht die Achte wie auch etwa die Pastorale im Schatten der ungeraden Sinfonien - doch gewinnt sie bei Horern mehr und mehr an Beliebtheit: die vielen unerwartenden Wendungen in diesem Werk liessen die Einschatzugn eines Paradebeispiels fur den Humor in der Musik entstehen.Herbert Schneider legt in seiner Werkeinfuhrung dar, wie die Achte entstand, erstmals aufgefuhrt, gestochen und schliesslich gedruckt, wie sie auf Zeitgenossen und spatere Generationen wirkte, und schildert dies in diesem Buch auf Grund wissenschaftlich begrundeter Fakten auf anschauliche Weise; analytische und die Interpretation betreffende Kommentare schliessen sich an. Anregungen zur weiteren Beschaftigung mit dieser popularen Sinfonie geben Literaturhinweise und eine Diskographie. Anhand der vollstandig wiedergegebenen Partitur kann der Leser den Notentext beim Horen verfolgen und die analytischen Kommentare nachvollziehen.

Preface / Programme Note
The title of the work is borrowed from a fragment by the German poet Friedrich Rückert.This fragment, this short sentence (which Rückert apparently neverelaborated upon) is the entire basis of the work. I was inspired by the meaning as well as the sound of these words.I perceive the meaning of the sentence as being a defence for the refinement of an individual’s personal gifts - far from the present hostility toward individuality and the senseless praise of impersonal success in society. Personal refinement can, so the fragment in my interpretation, at its best be accompanied by a deep sense of responsibility, and become an active and positive influence in society.The sound, the timbre, of the individual words and characters is employed both instraightforward text-sequences, as well as in the exploration of individual vowels and consonants as pure sounds. The soprano is often used purely instrumentally, echoing and pre-echoing discreetly the notes of the flute and the harmonics of the double bass, often imperceptably stealing their notes and altering them into human sounds, which then yetagain are absorbed into the instrumental tapestry.

Howells wrote Penguinski for a visit made to the Royal College of Music in London on 10 May 1933. This score pays light and affectionate tribute to the considerable popularity of Stravinksy in London from the teens of the twentieth century. In Penguinski Howells creates a knockabout piece which shadowboxes Petrushka. Whilst underlining Howells's versatility, the score gives a colourful insight into the prevailing influences of the time, and is an intriguing example of how Stravinsky must have sounded to his English contemporaries.

This work, written by Maxwell Davies in 1983 for chamber orchestra, was commissioned to celebrate the quartercentenary of Edinburgh University. The first performance was given by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra conducted by Edward Harper in October 1983. Duration c. 29mins. This work was thought through in outline following a visit to the ruined pre-Reformation church of Hoy in Orkney, on a fine Spring afternoon after Maxwell Davies had played the harmonium for the tiny congregation in its large bleak Victorian replacement. The old church was surrounded by the graves of centuries, the more recent ones with familiar names, largely of people who lived in houses now ruinous - crofters, fishermen, clerics, sea-captains. Next to it stood the chief farmhouse, the Bu, going back to Viking times. He thought of the lives and deaths encompassed there, expressed through hundreds of years of music in the church, and in the big barn of the farm. The plainsongs 'Dies Irae' and 'Victimae Paschali Laudes' are used throughout the work - the first concerning the Day of Judgement, from the Mass for the Dead, the second particular to Easter Sunday and the Resurrection. These are subject to constant transformation - the intervallic contour slowly changes from one into the other, and their notes are made to dance through Renaissance astrological 'magic square' patterns. The orchestra consists of double woodwind, two horns, two trumpets and strings.

ISBN 9790006497126. 33 x 26 cm inches. Text: Franz von Schober.
In late September or early October 1821 Schubert and his close friend, Franz von Schober, vacationed in the countryside of Lower Austria. Their first stopover was at Ochsenburg Castle, which belonged to the Bishop of St. Pölten (a close relative of Schober’s), after which they moved on to St. Pölten itself. Roughly a year earlier, two stage works by Schubert had been performed in Vienna: the one-act singspiel Die Zwillingsbrüder and the melodrama Die Zauberharfe. The librettos were both written by the seasoned Viennese playwright Georg von Hofmann, who blamed the press for the indifferent reception the two works were given by the audience. Schubert and Schober now decided, it would seem, to write a grand romantic opera uninfluenced by the workaday world of the theatre and beholden solely to their own ideas of what an opera should be.Not until 24 June 1854 was the opera finally performed in Weimar, under the baton of Franz Liszt. It only achieved success, however, in an arrangement by Johann Nepomuk Fuchs that was staged on many German and Austrian stages in 1881–2, allegedly with brilliant acclaim.
