“Roma nian composer, Doina Rotaru (b. 1951) is best known for her orchestral and chamber works. Rotaru studied at the Bucharest Conservatoire and has won many prizes for her compositions. Legend is no exception to her success. Currently, Rotaru is professor at the Music Academy in Bucharest and a prominent composer, with her works being performed all over the world. Legend for Flute and Resonator is a highly modern work, as indicated by its instrumentation. The Flute solo line includes extended techniques, such as variations in use of vibrato, voice and notes played simultaneously, harmonics, pulsations and ornamentations, amongst other aspects. For all advanced flautists seeking modern, alternative repertoire, Rotaru's Legend provides an exciting work for both performers and audiences alike.&rdquo.

Written in 2009 for Andrew Millington and the Choir of Exeter Cathedral. Unaccompanied SATB choir.
'Written for Exeter Cathedral and already in the repertoire of other cathedral choirs, this straightforwardly melodic,tonal setting does not divide the voices and could be learnt and sung enjoyably by any church choir with, for example, the Byrd Mass for Four Voices in its repertoire. Although there are no soloists, the composer frequently usesindividual choir sections for brief quasi-solo passages, contrasting with full SATB. The Osannas at the end of Sanctus and Benedictus will sound breathtaking in a resonant acoustic.' - Sunday by Sunday

Sixteenth-c entury playwright and poet Ben Jonson wrote the text to this nativity hymn. This original a cappella setting begins with an expressive solo, then gives both the women's and men's voices a standalone feature verse before combining the choir in resonant contemporary harmony. Artistic repertoire for Christmas.
