Teacher, soloist, chamber musician, conductor and composer ? flautist Eric Ledeuil, a student of Patrick Gallois and Benoit Fromanger, wears many hats. This diversity continually enriches his educational work, as can be seen by the success of his flute method La flute imaginative, published by Leduc in two volumes (AL 30 365 and 30 367). Fete a Camelot, a piece for flute and piano (or harp) for fourth-year students, reconnects with the Knights of the Round Table, an imaginary world that has long been a source of musical inspiration for Ledeuil: the key figures of the legend appear in his Les Meandres de Viviane (AL 30 495, Beginner) and Les Mysteres de Broceliande (AL 29 589, Intermediate). This work is set in King Arthur?s fortress: the great halls ring out with the sounds of joyful festivities, interspersed with echoes of Viviane?s song. A Knight?s story of his quest for the Holy Grail is followed by the furtive appearance of Morgan le Fay, but she gives way to the Lady of the Lake ? Viviane ? whose distant melody shrouds itself in melancholy tones. The work concludes with a fisel, a traditional Breton dance that whips the troubadours? enchanted instruments into a frenzy..

While the tune is based on a traditional Czech carol, this is one of Rory Cooney’s most powerful original texts. The piece would make a stunning Communion meditation, evoking images of joy at the infant Savior’s birth, while foreshadowing his sacrifice so that we might eat of the Living Bread. The piano provides support for the choral parts, but the piece may be sung a cappella, or, if circumstances allow, the use of the optional string quartet will add to the warmth expressed in the words and harmony of the singers. String Quartet or Keyboard accompaniment.

New from Rory Cooney comes a glorious collection of music for the Advent and Christmas seasons. Many of the selections in this collection use tunes gathered from the traditions of various European cultures. Rory arranges these beautiful melodies and adds his own evocative texts, creating nostalgic yet new expres- sions of the Christmas story. The jewel in this Christmas crown is surely Rory’s SAB arrangement of “In the Bleak Midwinter.” It begins gently, quoting the first stanza of the Christina R ossetti text, then branches out into Rory’s own moving exploration of Christ’s incarnation. The “Christmas Gloria”— based on the familiar French carol “Angels We Have Heard on High”—employs the text from the 2010 R evised Order of Mass. In this arrangement the third stanza of the prayer soars above the final refrain as an exhilarating soprano descant. Much of the newer music in this collection can be done a cappella. To enhance the texture, include the piano accompaniment, strings, and flute. Perfect for any choir large or small, the songs in Like No God We Had Imagined will add sparkle to your holiday liturgies. Contents: Friends in Christ, Rejoice, My Soul Gives Glory, The Advent Herald, Sing We Maranatha, In the Bleak Midwinter, Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day, Still, Still, Still, In the Stillness of the Night, Christmas Gloria, Psalm 96: Christmas Midnight, Song at the Manger, Carol of the Stranger, Lullaby, Little One, Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow, I Saw Three Ships, Light in the Darkness.
