Organ-The Prætorius-variationer dedicated to the organist Helge Gramstrup was composed by the Danish organist and composer Jesper Madsen (1957-1999). The work subtitled 'Variations on a Motet by Michael Prætorius Højlovet være Kongen skøn 1609' is his largest for Organ. The theme is presented in Prætorius' own arrangement. Variation 1 has a rhapsodic improvisatory feel: Variation 2 that of a fast movement from a Bach Trio Sonata. Variation 3 is a slow siciliano and Variation 4's wispy scherzando complements the meditative Variation 5. Variation 6 marked Finale starts majestically but soon evolves into a French-style toccata with the melody on the pedal reeds. The workculminates in a triumphant arrangement of the original theme. A review in the July/August issue of Choir and Organ magazine calls this work very approachable and a very useful recital piece although it's trickier than it looks.

Like many composers who found themselves in exile during the war years Castelnuovo-Tedesco composed in a very neoclassical and neoromantic style reviving more traditional or antiquated ideas of melody tonality and texture. His collection of Shakespeare Songs feature settings of verse from across the full range of the Bard's plays and have proved to be great critical successes still widely performed today. Suitable to be adapted by most voices. the songs are interwoven with complex and thrilling Piano accompaniments that bring colour and energy to the often liberally edited texts.Like many composers who found themselves in exile during the war years Castelnuovo-Tedesco composed in a very neoclassical and neoromantic style reviving more traditional or antiquated ideas of melody tonality and texture.

Following the public success of the first set of Petites Pièces arranged from Mozart the Leipzig publishers Peters issued a second collection in 1804 drawing on the little-known repertoire of basset-horn trios and horn duos; three extracts from the choruses of Le Nozze di Figaro would have been the only material familiar to the general public. All the pieces were arranged with a clear eye to the amateur market with no great technical demands or wide stretches and where Mozart had left few dynamic markings the arranger carefully marked suitable and stylish expressive effects. This repertoire would be effective today on the modern piano the fortepiano or theclavichord. Contains Polonoise in D major ABRSM Grade 4 examination piece

Oratorium In Drei Teilen- Messiah occupies a unique position in Handel ’s work. Even if it does not represent the absolute zenith – several other oratorios could challenge it in this respect – its strongly universal character and directness of expression which appeal to men of all creeds make it the most renowned work in the whole of the composer’s monumental output. That this oratorio is unquestionably a work of individual character is shown by all its features: its material which presents liturgical traditions alongside popular elements; its structure which combines an ever-changing variety of elements from opera cantata concerto and anthem; its musicalorganization which at once unifies and dramatically juxtaposes the various styles. All are united in an extraordinary manner with great artistry most accomplished technique and superb invention.
