d'après la nouvelle de Guy de Maupassant- Isabelle Aboulker 's A Girl Called Dumpling for Mixed Choir Narrator and Instrumental Ensemble (Vocal score). Choosing an opera libretto is always delicate particularly if the work is aimed at young adults or teenagers (performers and audience). Published in 1880 Guy Maupassant's short story 'Dumpling' contains all of the elements essential to the process fruition and purpose of my work. In 1870 France was conquered and occupied. The Prussians marched into Rouen. The analogies with contemporary history are numerous and offer choir conductors and teachers multiple sources of reflection and analysis. The dignitaries whoreadily give in to power and collaborate with the occupier contrast with a young prostitute who is brave generous and patriotic. The libretto was taken straight from the original text though some cuts were necessary in order to keep the rhythm and momentum required in setting Maupassant's story to music. - Isabelle Aboulker

Volume 10 K.458-506- Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) is well-known for his Keyboard compositions. His 555 Keyboard Sonatas remain ever popular to this day and it is for this reason that this tenth volume is indispensable to performers of the genre. Originally composed for the Harpsichord Organ or early Pianoforte the Sonatas display the riveting use of discords and unconventional modulations to remote keys. It is also thought that much of Scarlatti 's Keyboard music contains influences of Iberian music considering that he spent much of his working life in the service of the Spanish and Portuguese royal families.The tenth volume comprising Sonatas 458-506 includes the popular and recognisable Sonata in F minor (K. 466). Bearing in mind that Domenico Scarlatti was a highly competent and popular Keyboard player in his day so much so that he was employed in the service of two royal families his Sonatas are composed with much experience understanding and expertise creating an essential addition to the repertoire of all Keyboard players of the Baroque genre.

He compiled 380 Figured Bass Exercises during 1960 after a considerable amount of time working in the field. With Challan 's experiences in mind 380 Figured Bass Exercises is very well-informed.

Challan 's 380 Figured Bass Exercises is essential to all harmony studies given that the realisation of figured bass remains an important part of music education.

“ Ubi Caritas II: Through Infinite Ages is a closely related sequel to my Ubi Caritas published in 2007. Re-imagining some of the same material such as the main theme from the first piece Ubi Caritas II is in one sense a more sunny version of its prequel. While Ubi Caritas II functions as an independent work it is also intended to be used in combination with the other piece for example as prelude/postlude ‘bookends’ perhaps yielding a sense of unity and conclusion to the concert or recording. In those cases I would usually recommend ending with Ubi Caritas II.” Ola GjeiloWatch here - CWU Chamber Choir: Gjeilo - Ubi Caritas II: Through Infinite Ages :
