Version with Piano and String Quartet - Parts)-A song cycle for baritone voice string quartet and piano. The composer writes: 'Naarasäiti (The Lustful Mother) is about becoming a mother an experience in which sexuality combines in a natural way with the birth of a new life. The texts of the cycle are from the collections of poems Äitejä tyttäriä (Árbeeadni The Time of the Lustful Mother 2013) and Kylmä kumppani (Galbma rádna My Cold Companion 1999) by two contemporary Sámi poets Rauni Magga Lukkari and Rose-Marie Huuva. The poems’ primitive matriarchal beat is present throughout in the music: a dark earthy solo viola accompanies the baritone while the sizzling sparkling strings erupt at times in powerfultextures'.

For Flute, Clarinet In Bb, Harp, and String Quartet. Par LASH HANNAH. Form and Postlude is a piece in one continuous movement but with a distinct postlude which ends the work. I play throughout with the idea of pacing on many levels: the largest level is the idea of proportion of sections to one another, then harmonic rhythm (in the broad sense), then harmonic rhythm on a more local level, and of course then on the surface of the music there is instrumental texture and how fast the notes go by. Along with this sense of play in terms of the pacing and motion is the idea of color. I love this ensemble, and its palette of color has been part of my DNA, as it were, for many years, because Ravel’s wonderful work Introduction et Allegro is such a cornerstone in the harpist’s repertoire. While composing, I found myself feeling that I was entering into this colorful world that is possible with this combination of instruments, almost as if it were possible to step into a painter’s palette in a real and visceral way, physically interacting with all the different colors. The title Form and Postlude nods to Ravel’s Introduction et Allegro, although my piece lives in its own very distinct space apart from Ravel. – Hannah Lash/ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière, Clarinette, Harpe et Quatuor à

Joan Tower's Dumbarton Quintet (2008) for Piano Quintet. This work was premiered on 12 April 2008 at Dumbarton Oaks Washington DC by the Enso String Quartet with Joan Tower on thePiano. Following Stravinsky and Copland as the third commissioned composer by the Dumbarton Oaks Estate is of course quite daunting — particularly since these are two very strong composers that had an enormousinfluence on me. Their sense of musical continuity and profiling of ideas puts them in the category of musical geniuses. I have in fact dedicated two pieces to them: Petroushskates (to Stravinsky) and Fanfare for the UncommonWoman (to Copland). My musical debt to these two great composers is profound. The Dumbarton Quintet is a Piano Quintet dedicated to Susan Feder my longtime publisher at G. Schirmer and Associated MusicPublishers. (She is now with the Mellon Foundation). It was commissioned by the Dumbarton Oaks Estate. It is a 14-minute work in one movement that travels through several themes with different emotional contents.The first is a flowing line that is cast in a narrow space of smaller intervals first soft then loud but with a restrained kind of intensity that finally 'bursts out' into a more 'forward' and visceral type of intensity. Thisshifting between intensities in fact is part of the 'dna' of the work and as the piece progresses; each side tends to take on more and more extremes of expression. At particular points the 'softer' material becomes almostromantic consonant and singing in its expression whereas the 'louder' passages become the opposite — manic and aggressively dissonant. - Joan Tower

Edna Mae Burnam-Featuring 13 whimsical (and often programmatic) piano solos by Edna Mae Burnam that are highly effective pianistically! These pieces ranging from early intermediate to early advanced have been newly engraved and edited for this unique collection.

David Bednall's Pure Living Light for SATB and Organ. This radiant anthem explores the theme of light with luminescent harmonies a virtuosic Organ part and soaring Vocal lines. The text is by Dr Marcus Tomalin after Dante's Paradiso and Bednall's word painting is highly effective. A compelling climax as the singers tell of the 'pure living light shining' falls away to a powerful unaccompanied moment before the organ picks up a motif and develops it in a majestic interlude. This is a highly rewarding anthem for performer and audience alike. Pure Living Light was recorded by The Epiphoni Consort on theCD David Bednall: Sudden Light (Delphian DCD34189).

Book 3-Based on the principle that music theory is best learned and remembered through written work each of these books by Edna Mae Burnam contains twleve written ‘lessons’ for the young pianist so there is a lesson a week for a dozen weeks. In Book 3 these include: reading spelling and counting as well as drawing exercises and games.

David Bednall's Fanfare-Processional for Organ. Composed 2010. 'A work that reflects a constant revivific­ation of tradition - most notably in the expected treatment of D major tonality (not fully resolved at the end) - this brilliantly effective piece successfully combines the essence of a church procession with elation: the tempo is relatively (but only relatively) slow the musical expression being of a positive character making a modem recessional as if preparing to leave the church before breathing in fresh open air in the concluding section. Bednall's work is extremely well written technically; it would make an exciting effecton any uplifting occasion.' - James Palmer

David Bednall's The Scholar for SATB unaccompanied. The Scholar is a sensitive setting of Robert Southey's poem that explores a man's kinship with the dead. With Bednall's characteristic metrical fluidity and effective word setting this piece will provide a moment of quiet reflection in a concert programme.

David Bednall's Some Corner Of A Foreign Field for SATB unaccompanied. A group of three miniatures for unaccompanied mixed voices  Some Corner of a Foreign Field sets poems by three First World War soldiers: John William Streets Goldfeld (about whom no more than his surname is known) and Rupert Brooke. Bednall's settings are slow expansive and expressive giving space for the listener to reflect on the profoundly moving texts. Brooke's 'The Soldier' brings a particularly poignant conclusion to the set with melismas employed for dramatic effect.
