This is a significant addition to the Advent repertoire. Mr. Nally has set a classic text to music of intense expression and anticipation. Four of the five verses share a mildly dissonant style with an interesting chromaticism at the refrain of Christ the Apple Tree. The central verse is lighter and brighter in spirit reflecting the glory which now I can see. the music is set primarily in the middle voice with phrases of a elegant sweep and breadth. The coda develops the refrain into more expansive lyricism and the motet ends in peace. This work is also an excellent choice for Carol concerts.

Opening with arching vocal-like lines, Soliloquy veers between folk song and speech-like phrases. Although the French horn originated as a companion to hunting, in this solo work for the higher tessitura of the modern instrument, we hear a solo voice, seemingly in the wilderness, as it sings existential complaints to the trees – not hunting, but communicating with nature.

Sibelius was a major force in the Finnish national movement and many of his works were inspired by the music and the culture of his homeland. In this transcription, arranger Andrew Middleton aimed to use the instrumental timbres in a way that retains the original patriotic qualities but within a smaller ensemble. The first movement is dominated by the brass with their march-like melody, which emerges dramatically from the fragmented phrases first heard on the horns. In the melancholic second movement, the lyrical qualities of the oboes and bassoons capture the reflective nature of the music. In the rousing final movement Alla Marcia of the suite, sweeping arpeggios in the flutes and clarinets come to the fore in the concluding, exhilarating march.The Karelia Suite Op. 11 was written by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius in 1893 and was named after the Karelia region of Finland. It since has become one of the composer's most popular works.
