The Peasant Cantata was written and performed in 1742 as an act of homage to Carl Heinrich Von Dieskau on his becoming 'Lord Of Thee Manor'. The libretto, supplied by Picander, deals with the rejoicing of villagers and their congratulations and good wishes to the new laird and his wife. Many folk melodies are introduced, and most of the numbers are based on merry country dance tunes.

Peter Davis's arangement of Harold Darke's forgotten masterpiece As the Leaves Fall brings this moving elegy for the fallen of 1914-18 within the scope of choral societies and church and cathedral choirs in search of fresh and effective repertoire to mark the centenary of the Great War or the annual commemorations of Remembrance Sunday. Singers and audiences will be delighted to discover the work of little-known soldier-poet Lieutenant Joseph Courtney RAMC, whose verse drew from the composer a 14-minute setting in which Elgarian melancholy and passionate denunciation are transformed into a message of hope. This score is the complete choral performing material for soprano solo and SATB choir, either in performances with organ or, as vocal score, if given with the original accompaniment for small orchestra which is available for rental.

This vivid account of the Brendan story can be performed by any combination of children and adults with piano, and is equally suitable for semi-staging cantata style or for a full dramatic production. Words by Arthur Scholey and music by Donald Swann tell of the original discovery of America in colourful terms, but with a sub text relating to joy in the created world, and the spiritual hopes and uncertainties relating to any voyage of human discovery.

James McCarthy's Codebreaker dramatically recounts key episodes in the story of Alan Turing, whose work at Bletchley Park decrypting the naval Enigma codes helped save countless lives during the Second World War, and whose legacy endures in our contemporary digital culture transformed by computer science. Turing is recalled as a brilliant mathematician, pioneer and prophet. Above all, in a score conceived in bold contrasts of pathos and dynamic energy, he is remembered as a suffering individual, an outsider destroyed by the unforgiving public prejudice of his time, yet whose complex and sensitive inner being was inseparable from his genius. On the cusp of a twenty-first century revolution in artificial intelligence, the passionate, accessible and visionary music of Codebreaker urges us all to regret past misunderstandings, be vigilant against lingering bigotries, and simply to hold in reverence Turing's inspiring achievement, while wondering at the cruel betrayal of an ordinary-extraordinary man who was also a profound benefactor to humankind.
