Newc omers to Marjorie Dobson's work, no less than admirers of the first collection of her writings, Multi-coloured Maze, will recognise in the contents of its successor, Unravelling the Mysteries, an authentic creative voice crafting words, rhymes and rhythms into the expression of a lived faith.
As Janet Wootton notes in her preface to this second anthology, Marjorie has 'a knack of rooting the mysteries of faith in the down-to-earth realities of life, and stating them in language that is at the same time poetic and completely accessible'. This versatile, contemporary idiom lies at the core of forty new hymns, offered with a selection of musical settings both original and familiar that will uplift the heart in voice and verse. In addition, there is a wealth of poems, prayers and dramatic pieces to inspire and console, whether in situations of praise or reflection, trial or thanksgiving.
The focus overall is on the enigmas of creation, of belief, grace, choice, sorrow and resurrection - nothing less than the all-embracing questions that determine the route and destination of life's journeys. Marjorie approaches these mysteries in her own inimitable way, unravelling the tangled threads for herself and for others in the context of the ambiguities and complexities of the modern world. From the resonance of these texts, worshippers, those in fellowship or discussion groups, and enquiring individuals will be empowered to explore questions of faith, or doubt, in their own lives, with insights to take them on the next step of the road.

The first major choral setting of The Diary of Anne Frank takes the teenager's remarkable and penetrating observations, written whilst hiding in an Amsterdam attic, as the basis of its extaordinary and moving libretto. Whitbourn's music for this work has been described as woundingly beautiful (The Daily Telegraph). He reflects sounds of the Westerkerk bells and tunes heard on the radio in the Annexe, along with representations of Anne Frank's Jewish and German heritage, details that add to a score whose respectful understatement is its greatest strength (The Times). This Grammy Award Nominated recording is conducted by James Jordan with Soprano, Arianna Zukerman, the Westminster Williamson Voices, and The Lincoln Trio with Bharat Chandra, on Clarinet. For an insightful look into the making of this heartbreakingly stunning recording, be sure to read The Musicians Trust (G-8388) written by James Jordan and James Whitbourn. A portion of the book chronicles the process that culminated in the now Grammy nominated recording and details the journey to its creation.  Visit the Grammy's website.

Ravel's first sketch of the score as well as his final handwritten score were laid down as the principal sources. In his preface, Monnard examines Ravel's sound aesthetics against the background of concert reception and historical recordings. Moreover, he also provides insights into Ravel's ideas concerning the tempo: ,,I must say that the Bolero is rarely conducted the way I think it should. Mengelberg speeds up and slows down excessively. Toscanini takes it twice as fast as it should be and broadens the tempo at the close, which is indicated nowhere. No: the Bolero should be played in one single tempo from the beginning to the end, in the plaintive and monotonous style of Spanish-Arabian melodies. The performance material to Ravel's Bolero can now also be purchased in its entirety for the first time.

Unlike most duets, these pieces were designed to serve many purposes. First and foremost, they are intended to be fun to play and listen to, but each of them is challenging and filled with musical problems comparable to those found in professional playing situations. Some of the uses to which these duets might be put are: Developing sight reading skills. To this end the players are encouraged to vary the tempo, dynamics, phrasing as well as switch parts. Learning to recognize and interpret some of the most commonly used jazz figures. Developing a feel for swing. Developing facility and technique. Developing transpositional skills. The performer is encouraged to also use the duets for sight singing, studying the II/V7 and other formulaic patterns and in actual performance situations.
