Five Elizabethan Dances is drawn from the music that sets the scene and provides the accompaniment for the Ballroom Scene from Don Freund's Romeo and Juliet: A Shakespearean Music Drama for singing actors and piano. The style of the dances is freely drawn from dances found in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (music from ca. 1562 to 1612), spiced up with changing meters and chromatic twists of melody and harmony reflecting a more recent musical language. Each of the dances represents a pivotal scene-within-a-scene.

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.

These three solo harpsichord pieces are a collection of recent compositions, each with an individual theme and idea. The first, The convertibility of Lute Strings, was first performed at the Purcell Room, London in 1992. The second, Tango for Tim was written in memory of a friend and composer Tim Souster, which was composed and first performed in 1994. The third piece, Elisabeth Gets Her Way, is an extended version of the cadenza which Elisabeth Chojnacka persuaded Michael Nyman to add to his Harpsichord Concerto, which includes material from the first two pieces in this album.

Klau s Martin Kopitz gehört zu den derzeit renommiertesten Beethoven-Forschern. Er veröffentlichte zahlreiche Aufsätze über den Komponisten und war federführender Herausgeber des zweibändigen Standardwerks Beethoven aus der Sicht seiner Zeitgenossen. Momentan arbeitet er an der Herausgabe des achten und letzten Bandes der Beethoven-Briefausgabe, der erstmals sämtliche Dokumente zum Leben und Schaffen des Komponisten enthalten wird. Daneben wurde er zweimal mit dem Deutschen Musikeditionspreis Best Edition ausgezeichnet. Kopitz' Identifizierung der rätselhaften Elise mit Elisabeth Röckel wurde zunächst durch das Nachrichtenmagazin Der Spiegel sowie durch die französische Presseagentur AFP verbreitet und erregte weltweit große Aufmerksamkeit. Die vorliegende Studie ist zugleich die erste Darstellung der Beziehungen Beethovens zu der 23 Jahre jüngeren Sängerin, die später seinen Freund Johann Nepomuk Hummel heiratete. Im Anhang findet sich eine Reproduktion des Erstdrucks von Für Elise (Leipzig: C. F. Kahnt 1870).

A high quality setting of the Thomas Morley hymn, Sing We and Chant It, by popular writer Deborah Baker Monday. Deborah understands the idiomatic nature of the string orchestra and always provides teachers with music that can be used to teach as well as inspire musicality.
Thomas Morley (ca. 1557-1602) lived in England during the Elizabethan period. It was a time during the reign of Queen Elizabeth when the arts, and especially music, flourished.Morley studied serious music with William Byrd and attempted to compose in his style while holding an organ post at St. Paul's Cathedral. He was inspired by a new vocal publication brought to England from Italy. These madrigals were where Morley finally found his compositional direction. He took aspects of the Italian style, which suited his personality and anglicized them by applying the English language and musical tradition. His works are considered to show a wider variety of emotional color, form and technique than other English composers of this period.
