Twelve Astrological Preludes were written over a period of roughly two years and several were broadcast on BBC Radio 2's Friday Night is Music Night as well as in other concerts. Aquarius was written in 1994 as a filler to apopular BBC solo piano series of the time called At the Piano. It was named Aquarius for programming purposes and as Elms left the studio the producer called after him 'Only eleven to go' and so Twelve Astrological Preludes cameinto being.

The preludes, which run in the usual cycle, are based upon two melodic strands and there is one piece in each of the twelve major keys. The character and style of each
prelude alludes to certaincharactertraits of its particular birth sign and each piece bears the initials of a friend born under that particular sign.
Each prelude is prefaced by a printed description of some of the general characteristics deemed to beassociated with that sign. These are, of course, generalisations! Some preludes show a little deference to some of my favourite 'masters'.

Elms has recorded Twelve Astrological Preludes for the Herald label and they areavailable on the CD Moody Moves together with other pieces of his chamber music including the piano sextet from which the CD takes its name. More information is available at masterkeyboards.co.uk.

"In the Bottoms" is a Suite of five numbers giving pictures of moods or scenes peculiar to African-American life in the river bottoms of the South.  It is similar in its expression, and in a way continuation, of the sentiments already set forth in the "Magnolia Suite," but suggests ideas incidental to life in a more particular geographic territory.  Movements: 1. Prelude (Night)  2. His Song  3. Honey (Humoresque)  4. Barcarolle (Morning)  5. Dance (Juba).

Commission ed by the Lancaster Music Teachers Association in 2020, this lively waltz is made all the more impressive by the work of two pianists at the keyboard. In the main theme, a lilting chordal accompaniment in the secondo part, colored by subtly jazzy harmonies, supports a lyrical melody played by both hands in the primo part. Contrasting sections feature a nostalgic second theme shared between the players, cascades of broken chords, and rich repeated chords. A brilliant and sparkling coda, reminiscent of the lights of the Eiffel Tower at night, uses the full range of the keyboard and brings the duet to a dramatic finish.

For Piano. Composed by Peteris Vasks. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Edition Schott. Classical. Composed 1978. 16 pages. Duration 14'. Schott Music #ED8046. Published by Schott Music (HL.49032518).

Peteris Vask's Eine kleine Nachtmusik, composed in 1978, is an example of the tragedy of past eras and a small-scale requiem for the hope of people of all ages. The title borrowed from Mozart is here coloured in a poignantly ironical hue. The greater the musical experience of the listener, the deeper is the understanding of this music and its composer. For example, the Latvian speech melody and the proximity of the diatonic folk song to the mediaeval sequence Dies irae suddenly reveals itself as a concept of night music from a more general aspect. The rhythmically constant pulsation in the piano bass subsequently assumes a semantic significance and could possibly be an elegy for Schubert's Erlkonig.

We all have moments in time that influence us. The pieces in this artistic collection range from light-hearted, imaginative impressions such as Sparkling Fountain, Night Pursuit, and At Break of Day to more introspective impressions such as Rain on the Window, Chanson d'espoir, and Chanson de paix.

Six Humoresques for Piano. Composed by Ursula Mamlok. BH Piano. Classical. Softcover. 12 pages. Bote & Bock #M202536049. Published by Bote & Bock (HL.48025032).

Grasshopper s was written in 1956 during Mamlok’s studies at the Manhattan School. She balances a variety of moods, textures and tempi in six brief movemenm of a divertimento-like character that are thematically unified by the use of melodic fourths and scurrying chromatic figures. The second movement, Night Serenade, is a poignant siciliano, the fourth movement a bitonal Minuet, while the fifth movement, In the Army, is a humorous march. The third movement, In the Rain, is the most virtuosic of the set. Grasshoppers concludes with Hurrying Home, a rapid, often bitonal waltz. Marnlok orchestrared Grasshoppers in 1957. lts 1958 orchestral premiere, by Carl Bamberger and the Süddeutsches Rundfunkorchester, was one of the first important performances of her music.
