Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. On his return to civilian life after five years Army service in the First World War, Vaughan Williams revised some pre-war works, such as The Lark Ascending and his opera Hugh the Drover , and embarked on new compositions - the Pastoral Symphony , the one-act Bunyan episode The Shepherds of the Delectable Mountains and the Mass in G minor - all of which have outwardly i…

Dedicated to Doreen Rao and her CME institute, composer Andrea Ramsey, through her music, depicts a journey many of us have travelled or will travel in our lifetime - the sense of going to a place of great vulnerability and fearing we are not enough--fearing we are empty or hollow or perhaps wrestling with events that have occurred in our life. These deep emotions will be powerful for your women's…

Par PART ARVO. Arvo Pärt has been fascinated by the life and work of St Silouan of Athos (1866-1938) for many years. As early as 1991, the writings of Silouan inspired Pärt to his composition Silouan's Song, 'My soul yearns after the Lord ...' for string orchestra.

Die Schöpfung. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. The oratorio 'The Creation' represents not only a crucial point in Joseph Haydn's compositional output, but at the same time, marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the oratorio. At the turn of the 19th century, Haydn broke with the traditional dominance of the arias, giving the chorus a distinctly greater significance. This opened the way for…

Par HIGGINS GAVIN. Composed in 2007, Freaks! is a brilliant virtuoso showpiece for trombone and band, full of wit and humour with some dark and disturbing moments. Higgins takes his inspiration from Tod Browning's 1932 cult movie where the characters were real life side-show ‘ freaks'.
