Neuf méditations pour orgue-Written in four volumes The Nativity of the Lord by Olivier Messiaen was written in 1935 and depicts his Roman Catholic faith. Written for Organ this piece is considered “one of the great Organ works of all time” and as a real masterpiece as said by R. F. Goldman the American composer. Divided into nine movements each of which portrays a concept related to the birth of Jesus: 1. La vierge et l'enfant (The Virgin and Child) 2. Les bergers (The Shepherds) 3. Desseins éternels (Eternal designs) 4. Le verbe (The Word) 5. Les enfants de Dieu (The Children of God) 6. Les anges (The Angels) 7. Jésus accepte la souffrance (Jesus accepts suffering) 8. Les mages (The Magi) 9. Dieu parmi nous (God Among Us). This fourth volume features the meditations 8 and 9. La Nativité Du Seigneur is essential to all advanced organists seeking to expand and vary their repertoire. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French organist and composer passionate about Ornithology and one of the most important composers of his century. Inspired by Japanese music he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity its diatonic aspect its harmony with limited transposition its colour and its additive rhythms. He composed many works related to ornithology and birdsong including the 'Bird Catalogue' in 7 volumes and the 'Treatise on rhythm colour and ornithology' in 7 volumes. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) is known for his unique composition style. Incorporating complex rhythms harmony and melodies La Nativité Du Seigneur is no exception to the composer's popular distinctive style. Volume 4 published in 1935 with the three preceding volumes comprises the 9th meditation God among us . The entire work by Messiaen La Nativité Du Seigneur is a testament to the composer's Christian faith. The work was one of the first to feature the composer's own modes of limited transposition and influences of birdsong. This edition of thepopular Messiaen work includes notes by the composer on how to perform certain features. La Nativité Du Seigneur is essential to all advanced organists seeking to expand and vary their repertoire.

Jeremy Dale Roberts ' Spoken To A Bronze Head (2009) for Mezzo Soprano and Piano. This is a setting for text by Ursula Vaughan Williams . ' In all the long years that I knew her – and it was a matter of regret between us – I never set a word of Ursula’s poetry. It was only after her death when I was asked to contribute a setting of one of her poems to a celebratory concert held at the Royal College of Music that I ‘jumped’: I knew immediately which one I wanted to do – lines ‘Spoken to a Bronze Head’. This was the portrait bust of RVW made by David McFall: not the Jacob Epstein which neither of them liked very much. It stood always in her sitting room a benign presence a‘virtual’ companion in her long widowhood. My setting is in an ‘arioso’ style quite simple and austere – maybe to match the rather ‘Augustan’ style of the verse. It is of course a memorial also a salute: and I wanted to enshrine in it the two of them Ralph and Ursula. So at the heart of it is a clangourous bronze-like chord lifted from the last movement of VW’s 6th Symphony from which I quote a passage just before the conclusion . - Jeremy Dale Roberts Jeremy Dale Roberts ' Spoken To A Bronze Head (2009) for Mezzo Soprano and Piano.

Dvorák's Waltzes and Mazurkas prove to be a successfully contrived balancing act between stylised composition and musical immediacy. The music critic Louis Ehlert once wrote of Dvorák's Slavonic Dances that they made a real musician's heart laugh within him; the comment might equally well be applied to these pieces.These 'Waltzes and Mazurkas' rank alongside the works of Chopin in terms of artistic merit yet they are not widely known and have not hitherto been heard as often in concert halls as they deserve. The Urtext version of these dances is published for the first time in this edition. Contains:8 Waltzes Op. 546 Mazurkas Op. 56

Hero is the inspirational classic hit originally sung by Mariah Carey and more recently made famous by the X-Factor finalists' cover version. This uplifting song is arranged here for SSA choir with Piano accompaniment. One of the biggest-selling singles ever the song was originally written for Gloria Estefan to sing in the film Hero . Mariah Carey felt a disconnect between her own life and the lyrical content until she was convinced to sing the song and she amended parts of it herself to make it more personal turning it into the inspiring ballad it is today. The song has been re-recordedtwice with innumerable cover versions and its message even providing comfort to Barack Obama during the 2009 elections. The tune was immediately critically acclaimed for letting everyone know that heroes are within us all. An SSA Choral version with Piano accompaniment as in this Hero sheet music will be a sure hit with your audiences with its fantastically innovative arrangement of a familiar ballad and it's absolutely great fun to sing.

The idea of the Gypsy fiddler conjures up a vivid musical picture - spontaneous virtuoso and above all fiery! European Gypsies have taken their music wherever they have travelled from Russia to the Balkans from Andalucia to the Black Sea. But for many people the heart of the repertoire - the essential Gypsy music - is found in Hungary and Romania.The arrangements in this collection can be performed as solos duets trios or by larger ensembles. The traditional Gypsy band consists of a lead violin or primas accompanied by one or two violins or violas (playing chords) a cimbalom and double bass; this line-up can be more or less reproduced using these arrangements with thepiano combining the roles of cimbalom and bass.The full range of traditional fiddle repertoire is now at your fingertips! Using these generous collections you can create your own ceilidh barn dance jazz club Sarajevo street-café or Gypsy gathering. Some of this music is familiar some more exotic but all of it is absolutely authentic faithfully arranged and above all hugely enjoyable. Each title in the series is available in two formats: the violin edition (with an optional easy violin part and guitar chord); or the complete edition which also includes both keyboard and violin accompaniments. Either format is hugely flexible which means the music can be played as solos duets or trios as well as with larger ensembles. Edward Huws Jones has travelled extensively researching fiddle-playing traditions. In each book he explains the background of the particular musical style giving his own suggestions for a lively performance. And to help recreate the spirit of the music every book in the series is beautifully illustrated. Music fom Hungary and Romania selected and arranged by Edward Huws Jones.

Homunculus is a short (circa 12 minutes) work for string quartet which the composer wrote during the Autumn months of 2007 for the Johannes Quartet. He wanted to compose a piece that would be very compact in form andduration but still contain many different characters and textures. In other words a little piece that behaves like a big piece. He has long been fascinated (and amused) by the arcane spermists’ theory who held the beliefthat the sperm was in fact a 'little man' (homunculus) that was placed inside a woman for growth into a child. This seemed to them to neatly explain many of the mysteries of conception. It was later pointed out that if the spermwas a homunculus identical in all but size to an adult then the homunculus may have sperm of its own. This led to a reductio ad absurdum with an endless chain of homunculi. This was not necessarily considered by spermists afatal objection however as it neatly explained how it was that 'in Adam' all had sinned: the whole of humanity was already contained in his loins. He decided to call my piece Homunculus despite the obvious weaknesses of thespermists’ thinking as he found the idea of a perfect little man strangely moving.
