This short blues commemorates the demolition of St. Agnes Place in Lambeth South London on 29th November 2005. It was written for Douglas Paterson (viola) and Jane Salmon (cello) who gave the first performance at the PurcellRoom London on 29th March 2006.

This musical fantasy depicts the history of the Dutch fortified town of Elburg. The work begins with an atmospheric medieval picture of the Convent of St Agnes the nunnery that was built in the first half of the 15th century. We hear the sound of the convent bells together with an upward motif which will reappear later in the work. Next the rest of Elburg is featured including the fortress - from which the bells of the Sint-Nicolaaskerk (Saint Nicholas Church) are ringing. Then cheerful sounds can be heard at the Vischpoort (Fish Gate) where a dancing group is performing a 16th century French folk dance (a branle des chevaux). We also hear old wagons rumbling over the town’scobble stones. Trade made this Hanseatic town a lively place. The repetitive upward motif first heard in the introduction now develops into a more distinct feature reflecting the mercantile spirit of the town residents.Then follows the slow middle movement in which the clock has been turned back to the time when Elburg was still lying on the Zuiderzee (which was a bay of the North Sea) and was struggling with floods. After the second St. Marcellus Flood (1362) and the water flood of 1367 it was decided that the town would be relocated. We now hear the theme of branle des chevaux in a minor key followed by a death bell sounding in remembrance of the drowned citizens of the former town. Back in our own time a slow expressive theme in Baroque style mirrors Elburg’s tranquil places such as the Feithenhof (Feithen Court) and the Weduwenhofje (Widow Court). Then the bustle returns with motifs from the introduction followed by an attractive theme in which present-day Elburg is portrayed with its many tourists. Now suddenly there is an echo from the past depicting the dramatic floods and wars that once plagued the town. This leads to the grand closing theme: branle des chevaux is heard for a final time from the perspective of the historic town centre.

Score-Morton Gould's Fall River Legend ballet suite for Orchestra. Study score.Fall River Legend was commissioned by Ballet Theatre with choreography by Agnes de Mille music byMorton Gould and sets by Oliver Smith and recieved its world premiere performance at the Metropolitan Opera House New York on April 22 1948.Having selected for her subject the historical Lizzie Borden murder case deMille used both pantomime and ballet techniques to convey the story. Morton Gould created the musical score in a similar way alternating programmatic sections with more formal dance patterns. The set dance movements formthe basis of this orchestral suite omitting most of the purely dramatic sequences.A feeling of austerity and doom opens the Prologue followed by a group of Waltzes depicting Lizzie's childhood. The sadness of Lizzie'sgirlhood is reflected in the nostalgic Elegy. Church social is a setting for a parish dance and Hymnal Variations suggest the old New England hymn tunes. The festive Cotillion is an exhuberant sequence of dancing patterns.Epilogue returns to the foreboding mood of the prologue.

Since the success of the first volume in 2015 OpenSax has spoken for instrumentalists across the world who identify with an unbounded literature for saxophone that’s firmly in touch with today’s musical world. Claude Georgel who directs the Vent de Sax collection at the Editions Leduc here presents a sequel to this great adventure that widens its scope: while the 1 st volume was aimed essentially at beginner saxophonists the second targets more confirmed players (5 or 6 years of practice). Nine composers of varying backgrounds (Japan Spain Italy Germany and France) several of whom are from the young generation allowplayers to explore the saxophone’s wide palette of instrumental colours without forgetting what’s essential: the pure joy of playing. Tom Georgel Giulia Lorusso Alexandros Markeas Clara Olivares Sirah Mart nez Alvarez Pierre Bertrand-Cagnes Ryo Noda Luise Volkmann and Fuminori Tanada sign the pieces in this anthology that will delight anyone who has lost their heart to this instrument of freedom.
