This series includes songs by composers who may be little known outside specialist circles but who have achieved something distinctive in this field. Many of these songs and some by well-known composers have long been out of print. Although several publishers now offer an authorized photocopy service the problem is often knowing of the existence of a song rather than of obtaining a copy of it. To keep costs to minimum use has in many cases been made of the original engraving (corrected where necessary) even where this may lead to a somewhat uneven result visually. The intention is to get these volumes into the hands of performers of all ages at an economic price.There is above all a simple missionary purpose: to enthuse encourage and (in the best sense) educate.

Delius wrote the incidental music for Basil Dean's 1923 production of James Elroy Flecker's Hassan . This sequence incorporating Eric Fenby's 1931 version of Serenade from that production was arranged in 1991 for Cello and Piano by Christopher Palmer who the piece is published in memorial to.

A triumphant and celebratory collection of ten pieces for Organ manuals and pedals. In May 1999 the Peter Warlock Society held a concert in which Malcolm Rudland played pieces specially written for the occasion by other society members. While not actually Warlock compositions they give a unique insight into the influence he has had on English music even modern styles.
