Programme note The spectrum of sound the gesticulation - in short the very nature of the strings - has always had a central place in my output demonstrated by the numbers of string quartets concertos with string soloist chamber and solo works. The interest dates back to my school years when I was fortunate to be able to compose for a cello-playing schoolmate and to accompany him on the piano. I discovered then the innumerable nuances of sound and playing varieties offered by just one bow four strings and five fingers.. The bell-like association if the title reflects the special texture of the work. Like thecontinously changing overtones of a struck resonating bell the four parts are unified through one single basic line broken up in a multitude of changing dynamics of a multifacetted rhythm and resulting in an ever transforming harmony. The duration of the work is ca 12 minutes. Per Norgard (1998)

June Armstrong’s songbook The Girona Suite – Eight Evocations For Piano features eight original and challenging compositions for grades five to seven standard all inspired by the shipwreck of the Spanish galleas the Girona. The pieces included in this songbook were all composed specifically for this collection by revered pianist and teacher June Armstrong . Her many years of experience in teaching have allowed her to craft compositions both subtle and powerful that stretch the ability of students while giving them an engaging story on which to base their expression and feeling when playing. Armstrong is an advocate offocusing learning on atmosphere and tonal awareness which when combined with the necessary techniques and theory makes this songbook a learning tool that is theoretically sound and musically enticing. From the first page the composer has shown her commitment to creating pieces specifically for students learning the Piano as she writes of how many people including former students have inspired her. She then writes in detail about the historical context of the theme of the work before giving more practical advice on the music itself and how to go about playing it. The friendly and warm approach that Armstrong brings to presenting her suite makes it more than a simple songbook it becomes a personal journey where the composer herself guides you through the characters and settings that the music has been composed to evoke. As well as presenting challenging and entertaining pieces Armstrong’s work serves as a fantastic introduction into how major and minor keys can be manipulated to different ends and how motifs can be used together with a theme. Armstrong writes: ”The final piece Sarabande for the Lost Souls returns to the desolation of Eb minor closing with a final statement of the No Tengo theme.” The songs in The Girona Suite are designed to

How to shape a melodic line-Musical interpretation is first and foremost a question of shaping a melody or the melodic line of a setting. Music like any language follows its own set of rules and a sufficient knowledge and familiarity with musical grammar' is therefore an essential prerequisite of any convincing interpretation.The internationally renowned performer and teacher Peter-Lukas Graf explains in great detail the parameters that have to be taken into account for a successful interpretation: rhythm metre agogics articulation phrasing ornamentation and implied polyphony etc. Numerous examples from the flute repertoire of the 17th-20th century serve as models fromwhich he derives the rules' appropriate for an interpretation in keeping with each period. - These rules are not intended to be dogmatic but instead should stimulate the players to form their own opinion.

The Poet - A Gothic Tale for Saxophones and String Quartet (2007). 2008 Chamber version available: WH30938 Programme note The Poet is the fourth of a series of seven compositions named after Karen Blixen's collection of short stories Seven Gothic Tales. My musical gothic tales are written for very different ensembles - THE SUPPER AT ELSINORE is a saxophone quartet THE OLD CHEVALIER is for bass trombone and piano THE MONKEY is a chamber orchestra work - but they all share musical material in a criss-cross of contextual references reminiscent of Blixen's narrativ ecomplexity: Themes andmotivs from one piece appear in others in new and surprising shapes and combinations. Karen Blixen's The Poet is about a retired counsilor who always desired to be an artist - once he even met his ideal Goethe - but knows that he is completely without talent. Instead he patronizes a young gifted writer to the extent of shaping himself into a father figure his protege depends upon. When a young italian widow arrives and the writer predictably falls in love with her and she with him the councilor arranges a marriage between the widow and himself in order to break the young poet's heart - only in the best intention: to make him into a real poet. But the writer decides to take his own life and the widow crushes the councilor's head with a heavy stone crying You poet! As he dies helpless to the will of destiny the councilor realizes that fate has wrought a story greater than any he could have invented. The Poet isn't 'about' anything. The music is inspired by the artistic content of Blixen's short story - it's emotionalism dramatic construction atmosphere period and setting - but unfolds in time and musical space in ways that are completely independent of the story's narrative progression... except one might say that the violin kills off thepiano while the baritone saxophone goes

The 'Romanian Folk Dances' undoubtedly rank amongst Bartok's most popular compositions. The earliest version is scored for piano (1915) and was published by Universal Edition in 1918. The composer himself orchestrated this version in 1917. Several other chamber music arrangements (for example Zoltan Székely's version for violin and piano) were not by Bartok although he authorised them. The musical material derives from Bartok's collections of folk music which date right back to 1904 when he wrote down a melody sung by a Hungarian peasant girl. In the course of extensive travels throughout Eastern Europe Bartokcompiled an enormous collection of folk tunes (by 1918 his collection comprised no fewer than 2700 Hungarian 3500 Romanian and 3000 Slovak dances and songs) which would in all probability have been lost had Bartok not written them down. As it was some of them found their way into his compositions. In 1908 Bartok jotted down dance tunes in Transsylvania. They are the source of the 'Romanian Folk Dances'.

The music of George Gershwin is a vital component in the American music idiom both pop and concert hall. This is typified by his Concerto in F for Piano and Orchestra which is a subtle and graceful yet distinctive work full of charm and sweeping themes. It was this 1925 composition that proved he had made the transition between popular music and large-scale instrumental composition. Eulenburg's celebrated and highly authoritative miniature score is the definitive reference source for study performance preparation or simply for those with a love of the great orchestral works.

Grades 1 - 4-As I sit myself down to write this brief foreword I ask myself can there be music more stirring than these old Cornish folk melodies? Though not Cornish myself (I confess to being born a little further up the road in Bristol) I feel I have spent sufficient time in these 'ere parts to resonate with the sturdy brass band tradition that continues to permeate this incomparably beautiful rugged county. One can almost detect a French 'accent' when listening to the piano music of Debussy and likewise speaking as a lapsed brass player there is undoubtedly something of the Cornish twang about Trelawny when played on a cornet or euphonium. Then again one gets a different yetentirely convincing effect upon hearing these melodies rendered on woodwind instruments; hence with a little gamesmanship on my part I am pleased to see my collection of these fifteen delectable ditties come to fruition in the form of arrangements for treble clef brass instruments (in B flat and E flat) trombone and tuba (bass clef) horn in F flute clarinet and bassoon. While many will find themselves humming the likes of Going up Camborne Hill Lamorna or The Helston Furry Dance even before they have turned to the first page - for these are indelibly intertwined with Cornish culture – I wonder if I might draw your attention to The Cornish Squire The Pool of Pilate and Cold Blows the Wind Today Sweetheart which are quite simply sublime melodies perhaps needing that extra bit of help in bringing them to mind nowadays. In the best tradition of musical hand-me-downs Cornish folk music works equally ideally sung and played and only by doing so on a regular basis can such traditions hope to continue forward with vigour and authority. A legitimate way of achieving this is to revitalise the harmonic scheme of these ancient tunes and bring them up to date for a modern audience; after all it was such an approach that fuelled the imagination of Benjamin Britten and Ralph Vaughan Williams in decades past while skilfully paying homage to the
