Davies's feeling for the potency and bravura of the clarinet goes back to works of the 1960s; his concerto for the instrument is predictably a big ranging piece in two linked movements. The first fast with a brief slowintroduction has the soloist in propulsive melodic flights slipping over into florid runs but it is a virtuoso piece for the orchestra especially for the marimba and pair of horns. The Adagio that follows is in the spare cold birdcall-riven style of other recent Davies slow movements exploiting first the clarinet's low register and then at its climax the instrument's high extremes. A cadenza leads to the coda where Davies introduces a Scots tune previously hinted at with which he brings the work to an end in F sharp major. Clarinet part with piano reduction of the orchestral score.

The two existing manuscripts (1915 and 1926) of these extracts 'arranged' by Falla himself correspond to the very beginning and end of a long period during which El Amor Brujo can be seen in a series of different states.They demonstrate the care which the composer generally brought to the task of instrumentation and more particularly the aptness and validity of this piece in his own eyes as chamber music. It is clear that Falla's art oforchestration (and notably his feeling for instrumental idiom) gives his score a profound sense of balance. Score. Piano player reads from full score string parts available separately.

This concerto is one continuous movement that is clearly divided into 3 main sections. The first movement is moderately fast and rhapsodic in charachter followed by a second section with an accompanied cadenza in the middle the final movement is a fast-paced energetic crescendo that leads to the climax of the work at the end. The solo part is a long and endlessly varied narrative that embraces the whole technical vocabulary of the cello available to both composer and soloist with the harmonic aura being established by the orchestra from the beginning. The orchestra provides a platform of chords based on major and minor thirds which are the building blocks for the entireconcerto both for soloist and orchestra. The harmonic scenery created by the orchestra is very much at the service of the soloist always seeking to support and highlight the poetic and dramatic content of the solo part as well as providing a transparent and clear harmonic framework. The accompaniment for the piece is dense at times polyphonic and sometimes multi-layered but only towards the very end is the orchestra allowed to dominate in the final climax of the work.

Libretto for Caritas an Opera in Two Acts. Caritas’ is in two acts the first consisting of 12 short scenes the second being a continuous scena. The overall form of the opera retains the architecture of Wesker’s stageplay but alters the proportions in order to create a musically dynamic form. While each scene of the first act is centred around a specific pitch the second act is a Passacaglia whose ‘ground’ is a Cantus Firmus eachrepetition of which begins on a different note from those of its previous statements. These large-scale architectural features are both reflected in and derived from the musical material itself.

Two dances for flute and harp from Peter Maxwell Davies' ballet Caroline Mathilde . A new instrumentation restores this linked pair of dances from Davies's second full-length ballet Caroline Mathilde based on the story ofthe eighteenth-century British princess sent in marriage to Denmark to the eighteenth-century milieu of the work's setting and musical world. The period manners - a gavotte in the first dance a gigue at the start of the second -are typically overlaid with the composer's Scottishness. In general the harp has an accompanying role but it comes forward alone in the second movement which ends with bravura from both instruments. These two dances were firstperformed in September 1993 at the Northlands Festival by David Nicholson and Eluned Pierce. Score and flute part. Duration c. 5mins. Harp part edited by Elune Pierce.
