Love from a Stranger was a 'thriller' starring Ann Harding and Basil Rathbone, based on an Agatha Christie short story, Philomel Cottage. As well as Britten's score, the film also included excerpts from Grieg's Peer Gynt music, and a contemporary dance band. Not all of the present score was used - No. 3, Brighton, was omitted and cuts were made in nos. 5 and 6. In the latter, a savage cut deleted the references to the music of the other numbers in bars 13-20, including the trombone's scale, which alludes to a scene in which a child practices the piano unseen. Britten was not happy with the way his music was used, and this was to remain his only work for the commercial cinema composed in 1936.

Do not neglect is a stand-alone movement from Kim André Arnesen's large-scale work, The Stranger, which uses a thought-provoking text from chapter 13 of the Epistle to the Hebrews: “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.”. The text is short, but really worth reflecting on what it means to us, and it is this internal reflection that is portrayed in this beautiful, solemn and largely homophonic setting. This setting is written for choir and cello, one of the composer's favourite combinations, but it may also be performed a cappella. The extracted cello part is included in the vocal score.

A meaningful telling of the story of salvation, this text notes the love of God for us, which is carried into the Christian life to be shared with others. This piece is arranged for two-part mixed choir with piano by Mark Knickelbein. The active accompaniment underlies a charming, memorable melody. The versatile new text by Lisa M. Clark is appropriate for many occasions, including Christmas, Lent, and general use.

No stranger love the world has known
That God would leave His gleaming throne
To dwell with sinners on the earth,
A crying Babe of virgin birth.

No stranger love the world has seen
That God would live a life so mean
To toil and suffer on the land
And sow the seeds with His own hand.

No stranger love the world has gained
That God would bear a body stained
To shake and tremble, soon to die
And save us with a final sigh.

No stranger love the world can hear
That God would send His children dear
To spread the truth in word and deed—
Through God's own Love, we now are freed.

Writt en as a companion piece with Border Dance (JB117), Stranger At My Door is written in memory of Peg Bowden, a resident of southern Arizona, who was active in groups assisting migrants by providing food, shelter, clothing and medical assistance. Peg's book Stranger At My Door chronicles her involvements with a migrant who appeared at her doorstep one Christmas Eve in desperate need. Composer Jack Stamp opens this tone poem with a rendition of O Little Town Of Bethlehem accompanied out of time by a haunting melody in the low winds. An original melody, Peg's Theme and the hymn tune Bera (The Hymn of the Good Samaritan from 1849) are first presented plainly, then interwoven in a rhythmic fantasia of fugato fragments. Peg's Theme returns in its fully-harmonized form and the work ends in peaceful introspection. Solos for Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon, and Bass Clarinet, as well as solis for trumpets and trombones are featured. Although Stranger At My Door incorporates a well known Christmas carol, it is appropriate for all seasons due to its timeless message of selflessness in the face of danger.
