Our source for the present edition of his Missa ad octo voces inaequales, Op. 65 is that issued in 1920 by the London firm of Bayley & Ferguson. This was not the work's first outing, however. In 1918, Bailey & Ferguson published a setting of this mass in English (Communion Service: Mass in C, for Eight Voices a Cappella, Op. 65, also published by Crescendo Music Publications), with movements ordered according to the Prayer Book. Perhaps to allow the work a larger audience, Henschel slightly modified the music to fit the Latin syllabification and reordered the movements, but essentially the work is as it was two years earlier.

Our edition includes a full list of editorial changes and corrections. Also available is a version which omits the Credo, for churches where it is sung congregationally.

Eugen d'Albert (1864-1932) enjoyed an illustrious and colourful career as both concert pianist and composer. He wished to include J.S. Bach's music in his concerts and sought the grandeur of some of the large secular organ works. The transcriptions he made for this purpose are arguably better than the numerous Bach transcriptions made by his contemporaries. D'Albert's versions of eight secular masterworks present them remarkably close to their original form, yet perfectly matched to the modern piano. At times, they make very considerable technical demands, but the effort to master them is amply rewarded.

This 116-page volume marks their first appearance since they were first issued over a century ago. Many errors and inaccuracies have been remedied and English translations of his musical terms have been provided.

Though known nowadays for his considerable corpus of church music, Harold Darke's earlier years saw a proliferation of compositions for many and varied forces, a result of his fruitful study at the Royal College of Music.

Written towards the end of 1908, these virtuosic Three Concert Studies stand as happy advocates of the Post-Romanticism then in vogue.

This edition marks their first publication and contains a brief background on the work's composition as well as a full list of editorial changes. These Three Concert Studies certainly deserve to be more widely known and enjoyed.

Marcel Dupré’s Résonances represents his final foray into the world of music for organ and orchestra. Cast in a single movement, it was completed in 1943 but only received its première performance in 2019. Résonances is also remarkable as it documents the first appearances of themes which Dupré would use in two later works - his Psaume XVIII Op. 47 and Quartet Op. 52.

This edition includes a comprehensive Foreword and Critical Report prepared by Tobias A. Frank. Performance parts and conductor’s score are available for hire from the publisher.
