The poems for this work were taken from Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali (Song Offerings) written in India around 1910 during a restless almost sleepless period in the poets life. Introduced to the west in 1912 they became widely recognized for their simple captivating descriptions of nature and their yearning spiritual tone. Almost every line is filled with natural images and a wandering restless mood is ever present. This sense is captured by the composer in his setting for voice alto saxophone and piano. Movement titles: I. Nightfall II. Light III. Departure.

Sir James Galway first came upon Gilbert and Sullivan's wonderful operettas while playing with Sadler's Wells Opera orchestra which later became the English National Opera. His fondness for good tunes with which the G&S operettas abound led to this collection created with longtime collaborator and arranger David Overton. The Gilbert and Sullivan arrangements are divided into separate albums as some of the songs are best suited to solo flute and piano some for two flutes and piano and some lend themselves to a flute choir. This volume for flute choir contains: Brightly dawns our wedding day (Mikado) For he's gone and married Yum-Yum (Mikado) I am a courtier craveand serious (Gondoliers) Strephon's a Member of Parliament (Iolanthe)
