Edward German was an English musician and composer of Welsh descent best remembered for his extensive output of incidental music for the stage and as a successor to Arthur Sullivan in the field of English comic opera. While French influences are clearly apparent in his music overall German was a Ă¢Â€Â˜stylistic cosmopolitan who wrote music that is quintessentially EnglishĂ¢Â€Â™ (David Russell Hulme). While some of his music became outdated with new styles taking the limelight in the 20s and 30s his songs were still widely performed and recorded in the 50s including Charming Chloe. This version in E-flat for medium Voice and Piano Accompaniment waspublished by Novello & Co.

Edward Elgar's The Dream Of Gerontius is a splendid oratorio for Mezzo-soprano, Tenor and Bass with Chorus and Orchestra. It is based on the epic poem, The Dream of Gerontius by John Henry Newman written in 1865. The original vocal score of Gerontius was actually printed before Elgar's had even finalised or completed his final orchestration and as such it was printed without many of the markings that were added in the later full score. This new edition brings vocal and full scores into agreement for the first time having been authentically and effectively edited by Hywel Davies and Bruce Wood, and also includes helpful notes on the background to the work as well as an outline of the editorial procedure and list of sources. This New Novello Choral Edition of the Vocal score with Piano reduction of the orchestral materialincludes a detailed foreword listing history, sources and editorial proceedure. / Chant Et Piano
