Moonlight Serenade was composed in 1939, by Glenn Miller in his typically American big-band style. It was an immediate success and it even became the signature tune of Glenn Miller. The catchy melody has since been used in various films and television series. It has been performed in many styles, from romantic to swinging. The Flanders Recorder Quartet likes to play this work with a low recorder consort: tenor, F bass, C bass, great bass (each instrument then plays an octave lower). This gives the work a slightly “close harmony” feel. Of course the more usual line-up also does the music justice.

Moonli ght Serenade is in 1939 gecomponeerd door Glenn Miller in zijn typisch Amerikaanse Bigbandstijl. De aanstekelijke melodie is in verschillende films en televisieseries gebruikt. In Frankrijk is de song populair gewordenonder de titel Dansez maintenant (1975) - in een uitvoering van Dave. Het Flanders Recorder Quartet speelt dii werk graag in laag blokfluitconsort: tenor, F-bas, C-bas, grootbas (elk instrument speelt dan een octaaf lager). Zo ontstaateen lichte close-harmonystijl. De muziek komt in de gebruikelijke bezetting natuurlijk ook uitstekend tot haar recht.

Moonligh t Serenade wurde 1939 von Glenn Miller in dem ihm eigenen, typisch amerikanischen Big-Band-Stil komponiert. Es wurde schon in vielen Stilen - von romantisch bis Swing - interpretiert. Das Flanders Recorder Quartet aus Belgien, dessen Mitglied und Arrangeur Paul van Loey diese Bearbeitung schrieb, spielt das Stück gerne mit einem tiefen Blockflötenensemble: Tenor-, F-Bass-, C-Bass- und Großbassblockflöte (wobei jedes Instrument eine Oktave tiefer spielt). Dies verleiht dem Werk eine Art Close Harmony“-Gefühl. Aber auch die übliche Besetzung wird der Musik vollkommen gerecht.

Glenn Miller (1904-1944) fut l’un des plus grands chefs d’orchestre de swing américains de son temps. Le son mythique du prestigieux Glenn Miller Orchestra mêlant swing, jazz et improvisation est, aujourd’hui encore, célèbre dans le monde entier. Glenn Miller reste pour le public une véritable légende et ses airs les plus célèbres sont dans toutes les mémoires. En 1939, Glenn Miller composa Moonlight Serenade, une pièce dont l’idiome sonore est typique du style Big Band américain. Il présenta sa création pour la première fois sur la face B du disque Sunrise Serenade. Le succès fut immédiat. La mélodie fit l’objet de nombreuses reprises notamment au cinéma et latélévision.

Nel 1939, Glenn Miller compose Moonlight Serenade, un brano dal linguaggio sonoro tipico dello stile big band americano. Esistono oggi numerose varianti stilistiche di questo brano. Il quartetto di flauto dolce delle Fiandre privilegia suonarlo con strumenti che si sviluppano nei registri gravi: flauti dolci tenori, basso in Fa, basso in Do e un grande basso. Il brano rivela così una struttura in close harmony. E' anche possibile eseguire il brano con un ensemble strutturato in maniera più tradizionale.

Writt en in 1998, Pacific Serenade is a “peaceful serenade:” serenade as in: romantic, quasi improvised music which should be sung at night under the stars. The main “singer” here is the clarinet. In general the music is extremely quiet, delicate, sensuous and sentimental. The sensuousness is created by Latin song elements especially the nostalgic Brazilian folk song, which is at times combined with Blues style melody and harmony. The string quartet has a technically expressively challenging part which is not merely the accompaniment to the clarinet, but rather it is responsible for setting the mood in which the clarinet sings. This is Aguila’s opus 59 and it was commissioned by Pacific Serenades Ensemble of California who premiered the work in 1998. Of course the ensemble's name inspired the name of this work as well as its mood. In an age of boom boxes, media bombardment of information and pop culture becoming increasingly aggressive, boisterous and violent, I felt the need to write just the opposite… to show once more that less is more. -- Miguel del Aguila.

Schubert's Ständchen (Serenade) on Rellstab's poem “Leise flehen meine Lieder” (Gently My Songs Entreat) not only numbers among the most well-known art songs, but is still a real hit today in Liszt's arrangement for piano solo. Initially published in 1838 in a version without ossias, the arrangement began its triumph on the piano by 1840 at the latest – probably not least thanks to Liszt's obliging addition of easier variants – as numerous editions published throughout Europe during the composer's lifetime testify. Liszt himself liked to play the Ständchen as an encore and even wrote small cadenzas for it, which are of course taken into account in the new Henle Urtext edition. English and French translations of the German poem as well as the placement of the song text above the music round off the edition, for which Evgeny Kissin provided the fingerings.

Poulenc's song cycle, Chansons Gaillardes was composed in 1925-1926 during the post-war euphoria. The cycle is essential to aspiring, advanced baritones. Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) was a highly prolific composer, and remains popular to this day. Chansons Gaillardes was composed towards the beginning of the composer's career for Baritone Pierre Bernac. At the first performance, Poulenc himself played the piano and the song cycle was immediately a hit. Chansons Gaillardes is made up of eight songs which alternate between lively and slow tempos; 1) The Fickle Mistress, 2) Drinking Song, 3) Madrigal, 4) Summoning the Fates, 5) Bacchanalian Couplets, 6) The Offering, 7) The Beautiful Youth, and 8) Serenade. As a song cycle with much variation, it is an exciting addition to the baritone repertoire.
