Specially produced in association with the Beethoven-Haus Bonn for the 250th Anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth this souvenir collection of some of his most famous pieces and movements allows us to rediscover the joy of experiencing the full range of his music in the home and through our fingers just as millions of amateur musicians got to know and love this music in the days before recordings. The volume contains original works for piano such as the ever-popular Für Elise and expert arrangements of orchestral movements such as the first movement of the Fifth Symphony and the Ode to Joy from the Ninth Symphony. Beautifully illustrated and with introductions to all pieces this handsome book comes in a practical landscape format. Edition Peters enjoyed a close working relationship with Beethoven as the original publisher of his First Symphony among other works. The book also tells the fascinating story of the connection between Edition Peters and the most famous portrait of Beethoven by Joseph Karl Stieler.

When Jeffrey Skidmore of Ex Cathedra approached me to write this piece he specified that it should be remembering the first World War and if at all possible the words should be by or about a woman.A friend steered me towards Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth and spookily the book fell open on page 163 where appeared Kathleen Coates' s poem A Year and a Day. This was written between 1910 and 1913 but is I think prophetic of the impending war in its depiction of a woman and man in love reluctantly separated and missing each other. Around the same time my mother sent me the poem 'Since we parted yestereve' by Victorian statesman and poet Robert Bulwer-Lytton(1831-1891) — it seemed to fit beautifully as a refrain to 'A Year and a Day'.We start with the refrain in which I try to create a sense of yearning — with harmonies that lean into each other and suspensions that only partly resolve. I have given the ladies the first verse of 'A Year and a Day' — I have used mellow flat keys as this is marked languorously as I picture a calm but pining Edwardian lady reclining in a warm English Summer's garden. When the men take over in the second verse this comes from a darker place — maybe a noisy fetid trench where dreams of love and happiness are sometimes hard to conjure. The music shifts in harmonic uncertainty — the harp oscillates and rumbles creating instability. This part is written in sharp keys which I think have a more stringent feel about them. The whole piece is made up of my typical major-minor harmonic language which sets a bittersweet atmosphere and the trumpets remind us from time to time of the backdrop of war. The piece ends meditatively with 'Eleven Armistice Chimes' and lasts approximately 10 minutes. It's dedicated to Jeffrey Skidmore and Ex Cathedra and my deepest thanks go to them for commissioning the work and Jane Arthur for sponsoring the commission.

Love Abide encapsulates the very contemporary ethos of multicultural spiritual devotion in a world populated by a rich diversity of faiths—all feeling as deeply and as aesthetically the compelling potency of music with love.
