My Sweetheart’s Like Venus (Mae 'nghariad i'n Fenws) is one of the 12 Welsh Folk Songs Gustav Holst arranged for a cappella chorus of mixed Voices (SATB) in 1930-31. Holst's absorption of folksong notonly in the melodic sense but in terms of its simplicity and economy of expression helped to develop a style that many of his contemporaries even admirers found austere and cerebral. Against charges of coldness in his music scholars and critics alike point to the 12 Welsh Folk Songs as works of true warmth. As an experienced instrumentalist and orchestra member Holst understood music from the standpoint of his players and made surethat however challenging their parts were always practicable – a compositional characteristic still well received and appreciated by performers and audiences today.

The Variations on Jean-Pierre Duport’s Minuet K. 573 (originally for solo piano) are a product of Mozart’s final years created in preparation for a visit to the royal court in Potsdam during the spring of 1789. Exuding the childlike wonder and capacity for joy that Mozart sustained throughout his life these sunny and playful variations could almost pass for music from his youth. Only one variation reveals that they were written in one of his darkest periods: the Adagio in D Minor. Of an unearthly sadness the Adagio presages Pamina’s famous aria “Ach ich fuhls” from The Magic Flute composed two years later. — Robert Stallman Marblehead Mass.
