For SATB Voices unaccompanied By Francis Pott Dating from 2012 this a cappella carol goes further than some of Pott's choral pieces in seeking plausible echoes of the actual techniques of medieval choral writing mostly avoiding parallelism for the first four verses.

Composed in 1924 for Violin and Luthéal (A keyboard instrument which never gained much popularity) Tzigane demonstrated Ravel's ability to go beyond his natural Impressionist style and write a piece which would be much better categorized as Late Romantic. First performed with the Luthéal substituted for a Piano in 1925 today the piece is accepted as either being performed with the Piano and Violin or Orchestra and Violin Ravel himself having arranged the piece for Orchestra.

Max Reger's 1915 Requiem is a late Romantic setting of Friedrich Hebbel's poem 'Requiem' for alto or baritone solo chorus and orchestra. It is Reger's last completed work for chorus and orchestra dedicated in the autograph as  Dem Andenken der im Kriege 1914/15 gefallenen deutschen Helden  (To the memory of the German heroes who fell in the 1914/15 War).

Those interested in French music have often had reason to be grateful to Roger Nichols; his writings on Debussy Ravel Messiaen and Poulenc are indispensable to the music lover.Nichols now turns his attentions to the mélodie where it is his mission to encourage singers to explore beyond the well-trodden paths of French song. In these two anthologies he does not ignore masterpieces by composers of the stature of Fauré and Duparc but sets them alongside music - almost impossible to find elsewhere in print - by such under-estimated figures as Reber Viardot Massé and Paladilhe.Even the more celebrated songs are often not easilyfound in practical editions which makes this selection an ideal starting point for wider exploration. In each of these volumes the songs appear in the chronological order of their composer's birth but Nichols somehow contrives a line-up of music which seems delightfully arbitrary at the same time as carefully designed to enrich everyone's understanding of the mélodie. The books also contain a remarkable amount of scholarship lightly worn and pithily expressed.As well as complete translations of the songs there is a useful and concise introduction on singing in French together with an illuminating historical note and critical commentary; and Nichols gives full due to the poets who were of crucial importance in the development of the mélodie tradition.Reber GuitareGounod Le soirGounod Le premier jour de maiViardot Les deux rosesViardot La mésangeFranck NocturneMassé SouvenirsLalo Chant BretonSaint-Saëns Chanson tristeBizet Vieille chanson Massenet MadrigalMassenet Ouvre tes yeux bleusChabrier Les
