These arrangements were written for string ensembles in primary and secondary schools music centres prep schools and for various ensembles at Charterhouse. They grew out of a need for playable yet musically challenging arrangements where maximum 'effect' is obtained by using naturally resonant keys and idiomatic bowings - and have been used and honed over many years. They also recognise the fact that in many schools Viola players are scarce; most of the easier arrangements are therefore in three parts with optional Viola (doubling second Violin) and optional Double Bass (Viola still optional) which can be played if necessary by a Cellist (special part provided). Thearrangements ensure that all departments have the tune or thematic material at some stage - not just the first Violins!

Piers Hellawell's Hall Of Mirrors for Piano Quartet.Hall Of Mirrors was my first contribution to the Schubert Ensemble's unique initiative to bring practicable chamber music to young string players and pianists. It was written in summer of 1998 in the wake of my 'full-scale' piano quartet The Building Of Curves itself a commission from the Schubert Ensemble and was first performed at the Dartington Summer School. Hall Of Mirrors is also scored for piano quartet although the viola part is playable by a second violin and is thus scored in the treble clef.At the suggestion of the Ensemble I sought to provide an analogue of the larger work ascaled-down expression that used materials clearly related to its parent. I believe that the success of this project relies in large part on its new pieces being genuinely representative of their composers rather than mere exercises that provide a product. Hall Of Mirrors therefore tries to establish a similarly unsettled atmosphere to that of the second movement of The Building of Curves and it uses the same open-string C/D ostinato for cello and nightmarish free glissandi for violin - both materials that can be impressively brought off by a player of limited virtuosity! Hall Of Mirrors was generously commissioned by Jane Ferguson. Its title indicates a reshaping of some features of the larger edifice The Building of Curves. - Piers Hellawell

Madrigals are vocal compositions and can be traced back to 13th Century Italy. During the latter part of the 16th Century Nicholas Yonge of St. Paul's Cathedral in London published a collection of Italian Madrigals and translated the words into English. Thomas Morley organist of St. Pauls and around the same time as nicholas Yonge wrote many of the finest madrigals of this the greatest madrigal period. It was a very rich period of English musical compoosition made so by such illustrious names as Byrd Gibbons Tallis and Weelkes. Madrigal societies are still active and date from 1741 when the first was formed in the City of London. America also has participated in therevival of singing madrigals and has activated madrigal singing in universities and high schools.
