Lyrical direct and exhibiting a masterful understanding of vocal writing Carl Vine’s secular cantata for soprano and strings The Tree of Man is a gift to audience and musicians alike. The 11-minute work written in 2012 for the Australian Chamber Orchestra and soprano Daniele de Niese is based on a passage from a novel of the same name by the Nobel Prize-winning author Patrick White. Vine knew White personally (having written music for several of his stage plays in the 1980s) and his setting perfectly complements the simplicity and sincerity of the prose. The music moves in an arc from its quietly insistent beginnings and rhapsodic central section to a hauntingconclusion where the brooding opening returns before evaporating into the air...

This collection contains something for everyone...a bluesy spiritual gentle lullabies concert pieces lush settings of old favorites and even a medley of secular titles. Mark Hayes's style is unlike any other. Given to mood and style shifts one moment the carol is traditional the next it's in the style of Mozart and the next it's in the style of Chopin. Some easy some not so easy but all are exciting. Contents include: We Three Kings: I Wonder as I Wander: Rise Up Shepherds and Follow: O Little Town of Bethlehem: Masters in this Hall: Manger Medley and four more. Highly recommended!

Thirty-Five Compositions By King Henry VIII is a unique collection containing King Henry VIII’s complete secular works. These works consist of part-songs and instrumental consorts and have been transcribed and edited by John Stevens. The collection is a mixture of instrumental pieces and pieces for vocal ensemble mostly in three parts with about half-a-dozen in four. Seventeen of the pieces are instrumental though it is perfectly possible (and historically accurate) to play the vocal pieces on instruments if preferred. In the instrumental pieces no instruments are stipulated. The top staff is treble the second is written in the trebleclef but sounds an octave lower as for vocal tenor and the lowest line is a for a bass clef melody instrument. Either flute or recorder would work well for the top line in most of these pieces which usually go no lower than around middle C. The bassoon could play either the second or third line. And the line left over could be played on keyboard. This is not harmonic music however. There are no chords nor would it be easy of idiomatic for the keyboard player to vamp or otherwise extemporise harmonies. The pieces are printed in score so two players might share one copy but two copies would be ideal if the keyboard player is also taking part and three of course if the players want to practise separately.

This composition is taken from the well-known Secular Cantata for Bass Voice Amore Traditore. In playing over this Cantata the writer was impressed by the sparkling vivacity and brilliance of the Cembalo obbligato in theBass Aria.This piece makes an excellent study for strengthening the individual fingers and can be practised in various rhythms.Lass dich nimmer von der liebe berücken.

The Leopold Serenata is taken from the Secular Cantata written in commemoration of the birthday of Leopold Duke of Anhalt-Côthen.This serenata is one of the most charming pieces of chamber music written by thegreat Sebastian and shows the giant ina most unrestrained and hilarious mood.Dien Name Gleich Der Sonne Geh
