While French influences are clearly apparent in his music overall German was a ‘stylistic cosmopolitan who wrote music that is quintessentially English’ (David Russell Hulme). While some of his music became outdated with new styles taking the limelight in the 20s and 30s his songs were still widely performed and recorded in the 50s including Charming Chloe. This version in E-flat for medium Voice and Piano Accompaniment waspublished by Novello & Co.

The American composer and pianist Edward MacDowell (1860 1908) is rather unknown in Europe although he had his artistic roots there for he was trained as a pianist in Paris Stuttgart Wiesbaden and Frankfurt. After returning to his home country he worked as a teacher while also being the director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra for eight years. During his studies in Germany the musician already began to compose songs (with German texts) still in the European tradition. From 1886 he used English lyricism as a basis and preferred a sparing yet expressive accompaniment of the piano. In his last songs he placed special emphasis on the declamatory aspect of the text and expandedthe harmonic range of his tonal language. Of his 42 solo songs the present volume contains six titles from three of his song collections: Composed or printed for the first time between 1890 and 1898 these songs are a representative selection from MacDowell's important middle creative period and without doubt a valuable addition to the song repertoire.

Edward Fairlie's Storm And Urge is a significant work for Wind Band and portrays a journey of emotional turbulence. The title comes from the German ?Sturm und Drang ? a literary and musical movement of the late 1700s which focused on extremes of emotion. Opening with a simple and reflective theme we are then taken through a range of emotional settings from uncertainty to resistance and then calm resolve and self-knowledge. With a variety of textures and vivid imagery this is a masterful work for the contemporary ensemble.Instrumentation: Piccolo Flute I Flute II Oboe Eb Clarinet Bb Clarinet I Bb clarinet II Bb clarinet III Bassclarinet Contrabass Clarinet Bassoon Soprano Saxophone Alto Saxophone I Alto Saxophone II Tenor Saxophone Baritone Saxophone Trumpet I Trumpet II.
