Eduardo Toldra (1895-1962) was a Catalan virtuoso violinist, conductor, and composer, whose students included Ros-Marba and Montsalvatge. His compositional work consists largely of songs, folk dances, operas, and orchestral pieces; rather traditional in style, it was initially dismissed as old-fashioned compared to many of his contemporaries. Today however, a revival in interest in Catalan folk music and its influences mean he is growing in popularity.

Coleccion De Canciones: Volume 1 gathers together some of his best-loved songs for Voice and Piano, showcasing his simple, warm, lyrical style. From the early Abril (1920) toAquarel-la Del Montseny (1960), this collection spans most of his career, and forms a valuable addition to any vocalist's repertoire.

Japan Songs was originally conceived as a song cycle for Voice, Shakuhachi & Piano Trio. In 2019, Kyo-Shin-An Arts asked six beloved composers to each write one song. All six said yes, the premiere was scheduled, and the journey began. When the first rehearsal at long last arrived, in November 2020, we realized we had not commissioned a song cycle but rather a collection of independent gems. Each song captures the personality and style of its creator as well as the deep emotional impact of the pandemic during which it was written. 1. Autumn Mountains by Victoria Bond 2. Eight Thousand Spears by Paul Moravec 3. Not A Trace by James Matheson 4. Praying for Love by Aleksandra Vrebalov 5. In the blink of an eye… by Jay Reise 6. Tree of Pearls by Douglas J. Cuomo Japan Songs can be performed separately, together, and in any order, either as chamber music with piano trio and shakuhachi or in the piano-vocal version. Performers are also welcome to substitute flute for the shakuhachi. Scores and parts for the Piano Trio and Shakuhachi versions are available separately.Voice & Piano Composed: 2020 Published by: Subito Music Publishing.
