Sir Edward Elgar was born in Worcester in 1857. Until the outstanding success of the 'Enigma' Variations in 1899 he was considered a 'provincial' composer - and a largely self taught one at that.In the earlier part of Elgar's career as a composer he wrote several short pieces which became very popular indeed. Chanson de nuit is one such the second of a pair (Chanson de Matin the other being) which carried his name far and wide before his larger orchestra works appeared. It was published in several versions at once: for string orchestra for small orchestra for violin and piano and so on - so it is almost impossible to say with any degree of certainty which was theoriginal version. This arrangement makes a useful addition to the repertoire for flute.

Rhythmic and witty from the start Maine Mambo is as fun to listen to as it is to play.

Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry wrote a number of piano miniatures of which the most effective and evocative set was the Shulbrede Tunes. The ten miniatures capture the atmosphere of Shulbrede Priory by mixing family portraits with aspects of the house itself. They can be used singly or combined to make a longer work in any piano concert.

Pièce pour cor et orchestre d'harmonie-Originally written by the great English writer J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) The Lord of the Rings has encountered new-found popularity recently with the release of three ?huge-hit? motion pictures. With Bilbo the Hobbit we enter the lands of Middle-earth during the Third Age some decades before The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Fascinated by the works of the masters of film music Maxime Aulio structured this work in their way. When the end credits roll Maxime?s music displays all the basic characters and passages of the novel. From the landscapes of the Shire to Middle-earth the Great Dragons to Gandalf the Wizard Bilbo Baggins tells us his story through light and virtuosoarabesques in the solo part. Bilbo the Hobbit is a wonderful addition to the french horn repertoire and one to be a sure-fire hit with horn players everywhere.

Adagio for Winds is similar in atmosphere to the well-known Canterbury Chorale (also by Jan Van der Roost) in that it has no exaggerated melodrama but rather a melodically wide and expressive approach. The work is full of beautiful lyrical melodies and the warm harmony and the full orchestration give the audience and the band the chance to give their thoughts free reign in a contemplative atmosphere. Adagio is a wonderfully uplifting work suitable for concerts on all occasions and is certainly not one to be missed.
