Johann Vierdanck (1605-1646) was a choirboy in Dresden and a pupil of Heinrich Schütz. After short stays in Lübeck and Copenhagen he became an organist at St Mary's in Stralsund. His 1641 collection of 45 „sacred concerts“ appeared in several editions reflecting its popularity among his contemporaries. All the settings are based on Luther's translation of the Bible and are related stylistically to Heinrich Schütz's „Symphoniae sacrae“ (1629) and “Kleine geistliche Konzerte” (1636). The three psalm settings in this volume are ideally suited for small choirs or solo voices in church or concert performance.

The composer, conductor, and pianist Andre Previn (b. 1929) is originally of Russian Jewish origin. He left his native Germany in 1938 to live in Paris and subsequently settled in Los Angeles in 1940. His early career of orchestrating film scores at MGM led quickly to conducting engagements of symphonic repertoire, and onto an international career as Music Director of orchestras such as London, Los Angeles, Oslo and Pittsburgh. In the 1980s, he concentrated increasingly on compositions for the concert hall and opera. His own richly lyrical style underscores his love of the late Romantic and early 20th-century masterpieces of which his interpretations as conductor areinternationally renowned.

Rediscovering, studying and analyzing the musical art of Philipp Joseph Hinner means enhancing a piece of the eighteenth-century harp music mosaic. Hinner's work intrigues for its extraordinary simplicity, for its regularity and harmony; the ordered balance of the parts, symmetry and sense of proportion are essential elements for the author, and give character and unity to his work. The harp repertoire has long been overshadowed by the keyboard one, which boasts extensive solo and chamber literature, and consolidated for over two centuries. The rediscovery of the history of our instrument, however, is still recent and the research work in the field of harp music is still long.
Hinner, with the apparent simplicity of his opus 10, can thus regain his role in the harp repertoire of the eighteenth century, as well as covering a considerable didactic value today. The part of the first harp undoubtedly presents characteristics of greater rhythmic and virtuosic complexity than that of the second, which consists of a continuous accompaniment interspersed with simple thematic imitated episodes. Furthermore in the composition are included arias such as O ma tendre Musette, a French popular melody of the 18th century (previously set to music by Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny), and <>, taken from the opera-comique L'erreur d'un moment ou la Suite de Julie by Nicolas Dezede, as well as themes from Gluck's Iphigenie en Aulide, which had been all used also by Hinner's first harp master, Francesco Petrini (1744-1819).
Hinner's opus 10, originally written in separate parts for two harps, or harp and fortepiano, is presented here updated and completed with its score, for a thorough perception of the work.

Hilarion Eslava (1807-1878) was a Spanish priest, musician, and pedagogue. Although he was a prolific and well-known composer in his own time, today he is primarily remembered for his 1846 work, Metodo De Solfeo , a successful Solfege Method which has been in constant use all over the world for more than 150 years. Having been a choirboy at Pamplona, the method was published while Eslava was choirmaster at the Royal Chapel in Madrid, and he undoubtedly used it as he was training the choristers there.
