Celtic music is enjoying a well-deserved revival. This revival may have been inspired by historical Hollywood epics by popular dance acts such as ”Riverdance” by Michael Flatley or purely by the emotional power of Celtic melodies. The songs all tell stories that have been passed down through successive generations with more facets than any other kind of traditional music: some are melancholy dirges some playful and lively dance tunes. This book brings together 20 of these traditional melodies in contemporary modern arrangements for mixed chorus. In them you will find homophonic movements sweeping melodic lines vocal imitations of Celtic instruments and rousingrhythms. The irresistible charm of this music will leave no choral singer unmoved and is bound to find favour with audiences.

Dvorák's Waltzes and Mazurkas prove to be a successfully contrived balancing act between stylised composition and musical immediacy. The music critic Louis Ehlert once wrote of Dvorák's Slavonic Dances that they made a real musician's heart laugh within him; the comment might equally well be applied to these pieces.These 'Waltzes and Mazurkas' rank alongside the works of Chopin in terms of artistic merit yet they are not widely known and have not hitherto been heard as often in concert halls as they deserve. The Urtext version of these dances is published for the first time in this edition. Contains:8 Waltzes Op. 546 Mazurkas Op. 56
