The Odyssee tells the story of Odysseus the undaunted hero. In times long ago the blind poet Homer wrote this famous epic. The 'Odyssey' follows the 'Iliad' the story of the bloody war between the Greek and the Trojans. This battle endsafter ten years thanks to the Odysseys famous trick. the Trojan Horse. The Odyssey is not a war epic but a story about perseverance loyalty adventure and the survival instinct of its ingenious hero. In The Odyssey Homer describes howOdysseus the king of Ithaca had to endure another ten years of affliction after the ten years of war in Troy before he could finally return to his home land. During those years his wife Penelope had to try and keep her many admirers away.These men not only wanted het hand but also the kingship. To prove her husbands worth she played a trick: 'As soon as I have finished weaving this shroud for my father-in-law Laertes I will choose one of you to become my husband' she promisedthem. But during the night she secretly loosened what she had woven during the day prolonging the time until Odysseus would finally return. After twenty long years when he finally stood at the door she wondered: Is this really my husband? Ishe an imposter? Cunningly she asked him to move the bed because only she and her husband know that the bed was immovable and was build around an old three trunk! Odysseus was deeply moved: this really was his wife his Penelope! Nearly threethousands years later the loyalty and strength of this character and all the dangerous adventures that Odysseus survived thanks to courage and intelligence still moves us today. Odyssee by Jan Bosveld is not just an adventure story butrather a characteristic piece in which memories of Homers story can be heard. The composition opens with a firm stirring theme describing our hero Odysseus in detail: This man is not to be taken lightly. The further development of thisshort introduction completes this character sketch: trustworthy perseverant and a genius. After that we can picture Odysseus on the lonely beach of Ogygia. Do the trumpets depict his memories of the war of Troy? Does he think of his wife as werecognise the weaving loom of Penelope in the murmuring eighth? In the solemn plaintive part that follows we can imagine Penelope feeling lonely sitting in the womens room with her servants.One of the girls plays the harp but that does notclear the sombre atmosphere. Then we can imagine seeing the sorceress Circe who changed Odysseus men into swine. After she gives a simple magic sign something follows that reminds us of the sound of pigs grunting. Then the Odysseus theme resounds:the hero comes to savi his comrades. Assisted by Hermes he forces Circe to lift the spell. The piece ends the same way as it began with an animated theme: Odysseus is still the same undefeated and not to be taken lighty!

Martin Shaw's There Was A Rosebud Bloomed In The Snow scored for SATB choir with words by Doris Pailthorpe.

Written during the UK Coronavirus lockdown for violin and piano, this little piece takes inspiration from the blossom on local fruit trees that I have watched developing and blooming in the past weeks. Commissioned by VictoriaRobey OBE for Elena Urioste and Tom Poster.

Score-Psalm 22 is famous as the source of Christ's most touching words from the cross: 'Lord Lord why have You Forsaken Me?' and it is one of three psalms that Ernest Bloch set for solo voice and orchestra during the first great blooming of his mature 'Jewish Style' in 1900-1906. It is one of the most intense of all settings of religious texts a work of blazing passion moving from despair to exultant triumph in just eight minutes. This is the Score of this work intended for study purposes.

Full Score-Ruders writes: NIGHTSHADE is an instrumental dark-room a grave-yard of low-pitched tight-knitted crawling chords sliced asunder by the cold extremely high positioned movements of the oboe and violin in particular: tones sustained to near-immobility and then scared into startling velocity like geckoes on a Southern garden wall. Shades in the night are pale and gloomy phenomenons to behold; treacherous beauties in the mighty realm of invisibility and blackness. Belladonna (beautiful lady) is the morbid christening of that fearsome variety of flora: the deadly nightshade. The piece is on one hand a study in extreme sonorities; the infrequently usedcontrabass clarinet is being employed along with the contra-bassoon forming the ultra-low foundation of the score and the bottom-register of the French horn and the trombone is set against the serene clarity of high violin and oboe. On the other hand the piece is a tone-poem of sorts on the various associations as they form within the mind of the individual listener when confronted with the very word NIGHTSHADE. Personally I come to think of pale moonlight tombstones the compelling as well as frightening spell of a dark forest. A Study in black the piece has been called.

Larry Kerchner creates a serene and beautiful moment in this lovely arrangement. Especially appealing for younger bands this arrangement is scored with only two clarinet parts and two trumpet parts.

Score-In the words of Stephen Ledbetter:'Flower of the Mountain sets...words of Molly Bloom (drawn) from the close of Joyce's Ulysses. Molly is a middle-aged woman lying awake in bed next to her sleeping husband Leopold.Her long monologue a seemingly random melange of ideas in a stream of consciousness moves back and forth between her boorish lover Boylan and her aging husband. As she begins to drift off to sleep she recalls the day 16 yearsearlier when Leopold asked her to marry him.'...The wonderful directness of (his) setting eliminates any need for extensive analysis except to note that the work grows in intensity archlike as the fragmentary imagescircling Molly's somnolent mind build to a climax of energy and activity returning at the end to the gentle lulling of the opening -- Molly's final quiet thoughts as she drops off to sleep.'This is a Study Score ofthis work.
