What would love be without music - or music without love! Many couples associate unforgettable beautiful hours, a first meeting, or first kiss with a particular song. And composers have always been inspired and stimulated by love, have celebrated romantic love and longing from afar, secret love, and jealousy. In her selection of 80 songs from seven centuries, Mirjam James evokes this tremendous feeling with the most beautiful songs ranging from medieval courtly songs, through Beethoven's Ich liebe dich, to the Beatles song And I love her. Many of the songs come from German and English language traditions, but what would such a book be without the fire of southern Europe or a dose of French charm, without the moving melodies of cool northern climes, or the melancholy songs of the Russian soul? A vocal score has been published which contains all of the the songs in the new Carus book of lovesongs in easily playable accompaniments. For many of these songs choral settings by famous composers such as John Dowland, Thomas Morley, Thomas Tallis or Thoinot Arbeau have been adopted, wherever possible, in their original form. In addition, well-known and familiar original settings by Beethoven, Brahms, Benjamin Britten, and other composers will be found in this collection. Songs with entirely new accompaniments have also been included, resulting in a collection of lovesongs offering a distinctive stylistic variety suitable for many different occasions. Score available separately - see item CA.240800.

La Gata Golosa (The Greedy Cat) is one of the most famous and beloved melodies of Colombia. It is a pasillo (literally, little step) – a South American musical genre related to the waltz. Originally named Soachita for the children of the Soacha area of Bogota, Garcia renamed it after a restaurant (piqueteadoro) he frequented. The restaurant’s actual name was La Gaité Gauloise (meaning French gaiety) but was nicknamed La Gata Golosa by the local customers. This virtuoso piano arrangement by Eduardo Rojas draws out many moods and musical colors from these delightful melodies while remaining playful and upbeat.

Composer Jeanie Murrow writes, My mother, Mary Helen Novak, died 3 days before Christmas in 2016; it was unexpected. My father Daniel Novak, died a year later on December 26, the day after Christmas. In this piece, the opening motif is Mom calling to Dad from Heaven, to come join her; throughout the piece she continues to prod him with that starting motif. Her Christmas song is Silent Night. He answers her with The First Noel, indicating that he would like just one more Christmas with loved ones. Finally, they both sleep in Heavenly Peace..
