The Disturbing Duckling-D'Monstrantz Vöögeli (The Disturbing Duckling) by Per Nørgård. Work for bird voices (CD) and human voices (12 SATB soloists) with text (sung in German) by Adolf Wölfli (1864-1930). A CD of Bird Song is available separately - use product code KP00830. Text (sung in German): Adolf Wölfli (1864-1930).Programme note:'D´Monstrantz Vöögeli' is the main (and middle) movement of my three-movement choir suite 'The Alarming Duckling' the title of which is borrowed from a painting from 1959 by the Danish artist Asger Jorn apainting which - as this choral piece - is partly based on 'found objects': Asger Jorn painted on top of an idyllic old fashioned landscape painting with a house and trees - and he painted a very disturbing alarming duckling. It may be ugly the duckling but in any case it is most peculiar in its surroundings with spontaneous colorful wide painted feathers standing and looking dreamy beyond a birch in the golden light of the afternoon (a very big duckling indeed!) In 'D´Monstrantz Vöögeli' the dark nightly visions are unfolding with texts by the Swiss schizophrenic artist Adolf Wölfli (1864-1930). His transcending poems prose paintings and ideas inspired me for many compositions in the 1980s i.e. Symphony nr. 4 ('Indischer Roosen-Gaarten und Chinesischer Hexensee' - Hommage a Wölfli') The opera The Divine Circus and a series of choral works. The piece is written for 12 vocal soloists - singing whistling screaming and whispering. In 'D´Monstrantz Vöögeli' - for a choir of humans and birds - many 'found objects' are used: The tape/cd only contributes with unmanufactured birdsong - even though using full half and fourth speed so it is easier to understand and learn from the brilliant birds (especially the fantastic American Musician Wren

The 35-minute orchestral suite Book of Visions was co-commissioned by the Orchestre National de Belgique NHK Symphony Orchestra and Royal Scottish National Orchestra and received its premiere in Brussels on 15 April 2005 conducted by Mikko Franck.The work consists of four orchestral tales of night fire love and fate. Each aims to extract the essence of the phenomenon not in a descriptive way but rather as perceived by the composer metaphysically an approach akin to that of his series of ‘Angel’ works. Although no exact narrative is intended the final tale inevitably suggests autobiographical elements as its composition was violently interruptedby a near-fatal heart attack in January 2004.

Katie Melua and Bob Chilcott's version of Adolphe Charles Adam's carol O Holy Night for alto and tenor soloists SATB choir (with divisions) and Guitar.  As part of his collaboration with Katie Melua on her 2016 album 'In Winter' Bob Chilcott has created this arrangement of O Holy Night based on Cappeau de Roquemaure's poem and then translated. The carol is here arranged to enhance the appealing simplicity and dramatic swells of the original drawing on Melua's Guitar from the recording and a sonorous choral texture.

Par PORTER COLE. All aboard for Cole Porter's saucy and splendid musical romp across the Atlantic! When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention head out the portholes as a comically eclectic cast of characters sets off on the course to true love. Peppering this hilariously bumpy ride are some of musical theatre's most memorable standards, including 'I Get a Kick Out of You,' 'You're the Top,' 'It's De-Lovely,' and of course, 'Anything Goes.' All of the music in this edition has been newly engraved for easier reading, and additional original Cole Porter lyrics have been added to match revisions applied to several of the songs during major Broadway revivals in recent decades. Titles: I Get a Kick Out of You * You're the Top * Easy to Love * Friendship * It's De-Lovely * Anything Goes * Public Enemy Number One * Blow, Gabriel, Blow * Goodbye, Little Dream, Goodbye * Be Like the Bluebird * All Through the Night * The Gypsy in Me * Buddie, Beware. / Miscellaneous, Scores, Songbooks / Recueil / Voix et Piano

This composition by Bertrand Moren presents various dreams which could have an effect on a dreamer’s life. Its very high level of difficulty provides a great challenge for the conductor and musicians. You will be taken through a living Nightmare with spine-chilling passages as dissonant chords alternate with aggressive percussion. Daydream is a patchwork of solos with all the brass band soloists playing serene and soft melodic lines with a virtuosic trombone cadenza. Finally Visions portrays visions of insanity reflected by violent and discordant descending motifs leading to visions of joy presented in a sparkling and cheerful finale.
