Ever clever, composer Narverud came up with a highly rhythmic celebratory composition. The title translates “We are oneâ€, the theme being that all human beings have much in common. The energetic djembe sets the tone, the piano adds its own rhythmic design, and the singers deliver the message, at times sounding as though there should be a campfire at the center of their circle. This BEST SELLER is great fun, a profound message, and an intriguing piece. See composer notes below for pronunciation.

Exhilarating and celebratory, the rhythmic demands of Dance Works as well as its physical nature are closer to rock, jazz and even medieval music.'Dance works' was written specifically for dance theatre and originally scored for the Steve Martland band. Martland's own arrangement for 2 pianos retains all the rhythmic power of the ensemble version but opens up new possibilities for concert performance or small scale or touring dance companies.

Morgan Hayes is a noted young British composer of piano music, whose work has been programmed by leading contemporary pianists including Andrew Ball, Stephen Gutman, Rolf Hind, Sarah Nicolls and Ian Pace. For friends and fellow performers he often writes short, celebratory bagatelles entitled Strides, and three of them are collected here in the first book of an ongoing series. Fugitive visions that include 'Wisps of Melody', a bright fanfare and a disjointed march, they are within the range of younger pianists possessing a confident technique of around Grade 5 or above, and pianists of any age with an appetite for bold new repertoire.

Robert Saxton 's Hortus Musicae , Book 1 was commissioned by Ian Richie for the 2013 City of London Festival with funds provided by the John S. Cohen Foundation. The first performance was given by Clare Hammond on June 24th 2013 at the church of St Mary Le Bow. The title, less 'literal' in Latin than in the vernacular, refers to the idea of an allegorical/metaphysical garden (reference to a 'real', or existing, garden might be implied by Hortus Musicus) with various facets. The titles of the individual pieces/movements, with their respective garden image, are as follows: 1) Hortus Somniorum: a fleeting vision of a 'magical' garden 2) Hortus Temporis: a reflection of/on the floralclock described by Andrew Marvell (1621-1678) in his [metaphysical] poem The Garden: How well the skilful gardener drew Of flowers and herbs this dial new Where from above the milder sun Does through a fragrant zodiac run; And, as it works, the industrious bee Computes its time as well as we. How could such sweet and wholesome hours Be reckoned but with herbs and flowers! 3) Hortus Cantus: A garden in which nature 'sings' (praises), in the manner of a 'chorale prelude' and ending with the cantus firmus transformed into bells. 4) Hortus Infinitatis: A meditative/formal garden representing Time suspended, in the form of a palindromic prolation canon combined with a harmonic ground (chaconne). 5) Saltatio Hortensis: A (summer) garden of dancing, celebratory nature. Its essence (and that of the entire cycle, both metaphorically and structurally/formally) is summed up in words spoken by Miranda in WH Auden's 1944 Tempest [Shakespeare]-inspired poem The Sea And The Mirror; So, to remember our changing garden, we Are linked as children in a circle dancing. Duration: 15 minutes.
