The Benedictus and Agnus Dei in B flat is published as part of an ongoing policy to reissue works by Charles Villiers Stanford in the Autograph Edition in new engravings but as the composer wrote and approved them with no editing from another hand. Simple in texture but highly effective in performance these two short movements are a useful addition to the repertoire of music available for a traditional celebration of Holy Communion and would suit a small church choir with two or three voices per part.

Edited by Michael Tilmouth No comprehensive collection of British music would be complete without reference to the outstanding achievement of Matthew Locke most idiosyncratic and arguably the most original of Restoration composers before Purcell. This first of two chamber music volumes contains duos for two bass viols the consort of two viols the Little Consort and the Flat Consort of rugged chromatic music. First published in 1971 reprinted with corrections 1975.

Grades 6 - 8-The second of the two books covering the timpani grade examinations for the popular London College of Music and Media percussion syllabus adds piano accompaniments to a number of the pieces which represent a wide selection of exciting composers currently writing in this field. Three timpani are required for Grades 7 and 8. Details of tuning requirements specimen sight-reading and aural tests plus guidance for the viva voce are included along with a separate piano part supplied with the volume.

Standard: Intermediate A languid melody for solo horn and a rich-coloured piano accompaniment evoke a mood not so far from the landscape tradition of The Lark Ascending but with an out-of-doors quality entirely its own. Summer Pastures is set for the Guildhall School and London College examinations.

Score and Parts Standard: Elementary Christine Brown is a highly respected teacher and composer for young people and in her Chandos Suite for violin cello and piano she marries her wealth of practical experience in coaching elementary players in the art of chamber music with her distinctively tuneful way of writing for the three instruments. A wistful Prelude precedes a mysterious scherzo of plucked and bowed whole-tone scales. A Serenade gives all the players a chance to shine in cantabile melody before the pulsating rhythms of the final Dance bring the suite to a brilliant conclusion. The Chandos Suite is a worthy addition to Stainer &Bell's collection of classic piano trios for young musicians including popular works by Frank Bridge Adam Carse Cornelius Gurlitt and Peter Martin.

As in his other carol for Choral Now Follow the star Edmund Jolliffe in Christus Natus Hodie paints a Christmas scene in his own words: a joyful image of children tucked up in bed on a snowy Christmas Eve while dreaming of Santa's reindeer hauling a sledge-full of presents through the sky. The bluesy swing idiom perfectly suggests the mood of sleepy expectation with more lively duets in scat style. Listen out for the echoing church bells of Christmas morning and an exultant chorus for divisi trebles to 'Celebrate this special day'.

Grades 5 - 8-This CD contains the piano accompaniments for grades 5 to 8 and may be used by candidates in their examination as an alternative to live accompaniment.
