The words of the Cantata Rejoice in the Lamb are taken from a long poem of the same name. The writer was Christopher Smart an eighteenth century poet deeply religious but of a strange and unbalanced mind.Rejoice in the Lamb was written while Smart was in an asylum and is chaotic in form but contains many flashes of genius.It is a few of the finest passages that Benjamin Britten has chosen to set to music. The main theme of the poem and that of the Cantata is the worship of God by all created beings and things each in its own way.The Cantata is made up of ten short sections. The first sets the theme. The second gives a few examples of one person after another beingsummoned from the pages of the Old Testament to join with some creatures in praising and rejoicing in God. The third is a quiet and ecstatic Hallelujah. In the fourth section Smart takes his beloved cat as an example of nature praising God by being simply what the Creator intended it to be. The same thought is carried on in the fifth section with the illustration of the mouse. The sixth section speaks of the flowers - the poetry of Christ. In the seventh section Smart refers to his troubles and suffering but even these are an occasion for praising God for it is through Christ that he will find his deliverance. The eighth section gives four letters from an alphabet leading to a full chorus in section nine which speaks of musical instruments and music's praise of God. The final section repeats of Hallelujah. This is the Vocal Score of Britten's Festival Cantata for Treble Alto Tenor and Bass soloists Choir and Organ. The text is a setting of words by Christopher Smart written whilst committed to an asylum. It is an exemplary work that reflects a deeply religious motif with the theme of the worship of God by all living beings and things each in their own individual way.

Contest March-Philip Sparke wrote this march for the famous brass band contest held ever year on Whit Friday in Oldham and Saddleworth. Given the competition’s long history (over 120 years) he consciously composed this piece in a very traditional march form. The title The Conqueror refers to Alexander the Great’s nickname as well as being something every band aspires to be!

Between 1996 and 2000 Bärenreiter published scholarly-critical editions of Beethoven 's Nine Symphonies edited by the first class musicologist Jonathan Del Mar. The editorial process was a huge undertaking because of the complex source situation regarding Beethoven 's Symphonies culminating in the Choral Symphony (No.9) which came down to the publisher in nearly 20 different sources. So it was not surprising that Bärenreiter's new Urtext edition caused a considerable stir in the music world. Since publication Del Mar's edition enjoys the unabashed praise of conductors performers and critics alike and has become the most widely used publication ofthe Beethoven Symphonies which can be heard not only every day in concert halls but also on CD recordings by John Eliot Gardiner David Zinman Jos van Immerseel and Claudio Abbado. Full scores study scores and complete performance material to Beethoven ’s Nine Symphonies are available for sale.

Avec Terra Ticinese Franco Cesarini dévoile l’âme unique et complexe de cet ensemble harmonieux qui fascine par ses contrastes.

Hawkes Pocket Scores HPS 59-This is the Hawkes Pocket Score edition of Vaughan Williams' Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis .

Blue Rock est une pièce labellisée « rock symphonique ». La pièce s’ouvre avec une ballade expressive. Vient ensuite un passage plus rapide fortement syncopé qui évolue sur un groove de batterie solidement appuyé et qui développe des lignes mélodiques à l’unisson. Lorsque la musique atteint sa densité maximale la ballade initiale est réexposée puis mène la composition vers une fin triomphante.
