The American composer and pianist Edward MacDowell (1860 1908) is rather unknown in Europe although he had his artistic roots there for he was trained as a pianist in Paris Stuttgart Wiesbaden and Frankfurt. After returning to his home country he worked as a teacher while also being the director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra for eight years. During his studies in Germany the musician already began to compose songs (with German texts) still in the European tradition. From 1886 he used English lyricism as a basis and preferred a sparing yet expressive accompaniment of the piano. In his last songs he placed special emphasis on the declamatory aspect of the text and expandedthe harmonic range of his tonal language. Of his 42 solo songs the present volume contains six titles from three of his song collections: Composed or printed for the first time between 1890 and 1898 these songs are a representative selection from MacDowell's important middle creative period and without doubt a valuable addition to the song repertoire.

Bavarian Song is a traditional German melody arranged for SA two-part Upper Voice chorus with Piano accompaniment by Havelock Nelson. The words have been translated into English and adapted by Sidney Rowe. This song is suitable for any female or school-age choir and is dedicated to Jean Crittall. Havelock Nelson (1917-1996) was an Irish composer pianist and conductor. He studied at Trinity College Dublin and the Royal Irish Academy of Music before settling in Belfast where he worked for the BBC for over 30 years. His compositions range from ballet and orchestral works to anthems part songs and solo instrumental pieces.

Hans Abrahamsen's Flowersongs (1973) for three Flutes. Parts. 'I wrote Flowersongs for three Flutes in the spring of 1973 when I was 20 years old. Looking back now 40 years begins to feel like a really long time and sometimes I think that it is as if someone in 1973 is talking about a piece from 1933! But in spite of this long time this is still a very important piece for me. In Flowersongs along with works like '10 Preludes' for String Quartet and 'Stratifications' for Orchestra I feel that I was on my way to finding my own voice in the middle of the music of the great Central Europeanmodernist tradition from the 50s and the reaction from the 60s of the new simplicity minimalism and the possibility of poly-stilisme. The English title Flowersongs links to the flower power movement and the hippie culture of the 60s and the early 70s and the work is trying to find the power inherent in this imaginary world. Many of my later works have titles in German for example 'Winternacht' (1976/78) 'Nacht und Trumpeten' (1981) and much later 'Schnee' (2006-08). If we think of Flowersongs in German it must be Blumenlieder and to me it now sounds suddenly very different more romantic and into the world of Schumann. Perhaps it is also a way in which to hear the piece? Another thing is that the correct English title is Flower Songs (as two words) and not as one word like in German or Danish. This is perhaps the German connection as I incorrectly wrote the title as one word; but perhaps it is also a kind of naivety which is also part of the work. I cannot help but carry with me to this day the ideas from my early works. For example there are clear links in this work from the 8th Prelude from '10 Preludes' and to Canon 2a from 'Schnee' from 2008. This work is written for the wonderful ensemble recherche and it was meeting them that made me consider making a version of
