Forgo tten Peoples was written over a period of twenty years, from 1970 to 1989, without being planned as a series beforehand. It contains six parts in all, each an independent work in several movements. In it the Estonian composer Veljo Tormis has incorporated elements of the vanishing folk tradition of the Finno-Ugrian peoples, melodies and texts more or less sunk into oblivion. My creative interest earlier involved me in searching to identify the musical vernacular of my own people, the Estonians. Now a new, logically related theme was found for my creative mission: the fate of small nations, as Tormis puts it. The performing group chosen was the mixed chorus, a cappella. According to Tormis, a purely vocal treatment best retains the original form of folk songs - a principle that underlines all his folkloristic works. Karjala saatus (Karelian Destiny) dating from 1989 is a cycle of Karelian runic songs (in Karelian).

A genre-defying collection of songs for female vocal trio, Songspin Songbook is a collaboration between Juice Vocal Ensemble and UYMP, funded by an Arts Council England grant. Described as “the 21st century’s answer to the Swingles or King’s Singers” (The Times), Juice have emerged as the face of a revitalised experimental scene for vocal music. Songspin Songbook publishes songs from their debut album, Songspin. The album was released on Nonclassical in 2011 to critical acclaim, winning an international Independent Music Award for Best Contemporary Classical Album in 2012. Featuring remixes by the likes of Camille producer MaJiker and Björkcollaborator Mikhail Karikis, the album was reviewed by The Observer as “eighteen immaculately achieved tracks, spanning Elisabeth Lutyens to Gabriel Prokofiev via folk song and avant garde, enchant and enthrall”. Songspin also featured the premiere recording of Elisabeth Lutyens' Of The Snow, which The Telegraph described of a performance by Juice as an amazing sustained piece of virtuosity.  Songspin Songbook was edited by James Whittle and Paul Sild.  Artwork designed by Christopher Leedham and Martin Scheuregger.

The fourth volume of the Lieder und Chorwerke (Songs and Choral Works) from the Reger Hybrid Edition of Works (RWA) presents songs Max Reger composed between November 1903 and July 1905. In his Opus 75 songs, Reger set verses by classic German poets, such as Goethe and Hölderlin, as well as folksong texts in his usual avant-garde manner. In the 30 songs from the first two collections of the Schlichte Weisen, Op. 76, on the other hand, the composer distanced himself from his previous approach to songwriting by adopting a simpler, folk-like style. The popular Schlichte Weisen were also a concession to his publishers' wishes. The songs in Opus 88 were published not by Lauterbach & Kuhn but by Simrock, a firm more willing to accept music that departed from Alltagsgeschmack (everyday or popular taste). The four songs were dedicated to the mezzo-soprano Lula Mysz-Gmeiner.In January 2008 the Max-Reger-Institut (MRI) in Karlsruhe began publishing a scholarly-critical edition of the works of Reger (RWA), supported by the Mainz Academy of Sciences and Literature. As a Hybrid Edition, it is exploring new approaches in editorial techniques.The digital offer belonging to the volume is published in an online portal.Contents:< CR>Eighteen Songs op. 75Schlichte Weisen op. 76, vol.
