Peace, I leave with you was originally written as part of a summer retreat at the Norfolk Music Festival. Appropriate for any time of the church year, the work is set in a fresh, flowing harmonic style that works well with choirs of all sizes and abilities. The text from John 14 works well as a choral benediction, introit, or offering. The work is also a good choice for concert occasions, as the text is inherently ecumenical and inclusive in its message. The premiere performance was given in 2007 by the Harvard Choral Fellows and Carson Cooman, conductor.

Songs of Love and Solace traces a young man's journey of love and heartbreak. The cycle of four texts by Irish poet William Butler Yeats begins with Brown Penny. This short poem depicts a young man infatuated with the idea of falling in love, and then becoming awestruck as he contemplates the depths of love’s power. In the second poem, He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven, the poet, speaking to his beloved, realizes he has nothing of value to offer but his dreams. Tread softly, he implores, because you tread on my dreams.” In When You Are Old, we find our poet heartbroken. In his grief he peers into the future and foresees his beloved, in old age, remembering the depth and purity of their forsaken love: “But one man love the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face.” In the final song, The Lake Isle of Innisfree,” the poet, saddened but wiser, wistfully resolves to escape the struggles and heartbreaks of his modern existence, and seek solace in the beauty and calm of nature. Songs may be performed separately.

The music for the beloved hymn Holy, Holy, Holy (also known as Nicaea) was composed by the English composer John Bacchus Dyke in 1861 and was first published that year in the book Hymns Ancient and Modern. The beautiful melody is not only suitable for use in church services but also makes an ideal reflective concert work. Holy Holy Holy ist eine äußerst beliebte Hymne, die seit ihrer Entstehung im Jahr 1850 ihren Weg in mehr als 1200 amerikanische Gesangbücher gefunden hat. John Bacchus Dykes komponierte die Melodie Nicaea speziell zum Text Holy, Holy, Holy. Ursprünglich wurde das Lied für Trinitates, den Sonntag nach Pfingsten, geschrieben. James Curnow bearbeitete die wunderschöne Melodie für Brass Band und machte daraus ein feierliches Werk für Ihr nächstes (Kirchen-)Konzert.

Puttin’ on the Ritz, dessen Titel sich vom mondänen Ritz- Hotel ableitet und so viel bedeutet, wie sich schick und modern kleiden“, ist ein Lied von Irving Berlin, das erstmals im gleichnamigen Musikfi lm von 1930 erschien. Seither wurde es oft interpretiert, zum Beispiel von Fred Astaire oder in der Top-Ten-Version aus den 80er-Jahren von Taco. Lorenzo Bocci setzte das rhythmisch sehr interessante, swingende Stück für Blasorchester um. “Putting on the Ritz : c'est ainsi que les Anglo-Saxons se « mettent sur leur 31 », consacrant, au passage, le mondialement célèbre palace comme éternel symbole de du luxe et de la perfection. Irving Berlin célèbrera cet art de vivre avec la chanson Puttin’ on the Ritz, reprise par de nombreux artistes. Lorenzo Bocci en a réalisé un arrangement absolument “ritzy.

Version in A major (version in G major: Carus 31.182/50) The cantata Himmelskonig, sei willkommen BWV 182 holds a special place in Johann Sebastian Bach's biography. He had been employed as organist and chamber musician at the court of Weimar since 1708; on 2 March 1714, he was appointed concert master of the court, and his inauguration music for this occasion was Himmelskonig, sei willkommen. The cantata was first performed on Palm Sunday of that year, 25 March 1714. Bach performed this cantata several times - always revising and amending it - both in Weimar and in Leipzig. Of the altogether four versions, the first Leipzig version has been selected for the present new edition. Unlike the Weimar versions, it can be realized effectively using modern performance means. In his debut composition of 1714, the newly appointed concert master demonstrated his abilities: the eight movements contain a multitude of beautiful and rewarding challenges for choir and vocal soloists alike, and in addition there is the unusual attraction of a virtuoso solo part for the recorder. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3118200.

French composer and teacher, Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) was a prolific composer of the 20th century as a member of 'Les Six'. His compositions remain highly regarded, Sonata No. 2 for Viola and Piano being no exception. Milhaud'scompositions are influenced by jazz and polytonality, as exemplified in Sonata No. 2. Composed in 1944, Sonata No. 2 for Viola and Piano is an alternative, exciting sonata made up of three movements - 1) Rural, 2) Dramatic, and 3)Rough. Milhaud makes use of variation in articulation, complex rhythms, chromaticism, accidentals, harmonics, altering tempos, variation in dynamics and a wide tessitura, amongst other aspects. Milhaud's Sonata No. 2 for Viola andPiano is essential to all advanced violists seeking modern and exciting repertoire.

The Faber Early Organ Series is among the most comprehensive anthologies of early organ music ever published. In 18 volumes it spans two centuries and six geographical regions, presenting a broad and balanced view of the main forms, styles and composers. Within each geographical region the pieces, most of which are for manuals only, are arranged by date of composition or publication. The presentation is both scholarly and practical; all of the music has been newly edited from the earliest surviving sources according to a systematic editorial method that preserves as many features of the original notation as possible while making it fully accessible to modern players. In every volume, an informative Introduction sets the music in historical context. There are also helpful sections on Ornamentation and Registration, and a Critical Commentary giving detailed information on the sources.
