Written for a wedding in 2006 Love is beautiful indeed sets an extraordinary poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806?61) part of the tenth sonnet in Sonnets from the Portuguese. It begins unaccompanied with warm harmony but quickly moves to reflect the words ?Fire is bright?and love is fire? at which point the organ enters strongly to accompany the deeply impassioned central section before the mood relaxes and the piece returns to the quiet reflection of the opening. Suitable for intermediate choirs this setting of a secular text is an exciting and welcome addition to the repertoire ofmusic taking love as its theme.

Interestingly there are two different versions of Prokofiev’s second piano concerto the first written between 1912 and 1913 the second written in 1923. However during the Russian Civil War the original manuscript of the Concerto was destroyed in a fire in Prokofiev’s apartment in St. Petersburg. In 1923 he recreated the score from memory effectively composing the second edition of the work which was very different. Prokofiev wrote to a friend: I have so completely rewritten the second concerto that it might be considered the fourth (his third piano concerto having been written in the meantime).At the time of composition the concerto's wild temperamentleft some exalted whereas others were horrified by the jarring and at the time futuristic sound. Today however it is generally recognised as a masterpiece and is one of the most virtuosic works in the piano concerto repertoire.Available here is the Hawkes Pocket Score edition (No.877) of Prokoviev’s virtuosic Piano Concerto No.2 in G minor Op.16 and is ideal for study and perusal usage.

The 35-minute orchestral suite Book of Visions was co-commissioned by the Orchestre National de Belgique NHK Symphony Orchestra and Royal Scottish National Orchestra and received its premiere in Brussels on 15 April 2005 conducted by Mikko Franck.The work consists of four orchestral tales of night fire love and fate. Each aims to extract the essence of the phenomenon not in a descriptive way but rather as perceived by the composer metaphysically an approach akin to that of his series of ‘Angel’ works. Although no exact narrative is intended the final tale inevitably suggests autobiographical elements as its composition was violently interruptedby a near-fatal heart attack in January 2004.

Pied Beauty-This setting of Gerard Manley Hopkins’s poem Pied Beauty was commissioned by the Rev Jim Bates Vicar of Kingston for the service in Kingston Parish Church celebrating the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. The first performance was given by the combined choirs of the Kingston Parish Church and Twickenham Choral Society on the 2nd June 2002. A good proportion of the text is reflective or descriptive – it winds through a number of examples of dappled things with suitably celebratory music: ‘skies of couple-colour’ ‘rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim’ ‘fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls’ and so on winding down toa centrally peaceful section in which Hopkins writes of ‘all things counter original spare strange’ before returning to the celebratory mood. This grand anthem would be suitable for intermediate to advanced choirs to perform particularly at festival services and important church occasions.
