Forsyth's Modern Wind Music is a series of volumes containing exciting and challenging, but not unduly difficult, works by talented English composers of current or recent vintage for recital, study or recreation. Each volume includes three works with piano, one unaccompanied piece, and one piece for two or more players of the instrument. In this volume for horn two aubades by David Ellis and John Golland (Ascent) reflect traditional associations of the instrument, whilst Anthony Gilbert's Two Birds by Kuring-Gai show the horn in an unusual guise and where written whilst the composer was living in the spectacular landscape of New South Wales. James Langley's music is well known to horn players and his fanfare-like Caccia for solo horn and Trident for three horns are both welcome additions to a slender repertory.

About the Taiwan Fantasia, van Deursen states: After having lived in Taipei for a number of years, I learned many of the local folk and popular songs. Some of the melodies are exceptionally beautiful, and my idea was to somehow combine all the elements that have made up my musical experiences over these years - Chinese melodies, western orchestral music and jazz; I wanted to see if these songs could survive with a totally different harmonic structure and concept. My original goal was to write a simple arrangement of the two songs, but quickly I discovered more melodies building upon the original ones and thus the Variations were born. Composed in 1995, this work of about 10 minutes in length is in one continuous movement, but is divided into seven short sections of contrasting moods including two cadenzas, for Trumpet and Trombone. The music is appropriate for advanced performers. Parts in C and B-flat are supplied for the Trumpets. A recording of Taiwan Fantasia can be purchased on iTunes from the album by the Yeh Shu Han Brass Quintet.

Also known as Prosa in Nativitáte Dómini or the Portugese Hymn, Adeste, Fideles has been used at Benediction at Christmastide in France and England since the end of the eighteenth century. It invites all the faithful to come to Bethlehem to worship the newborn Savious. Although more than forty different English translations were made, Oakeley's translation O Come, All Ye Faithful was the most preferred, with additional verses translated by W.T. Brooke. All in all, the hymn has been translated into at least 125 languages and is one of the most popular of all Christmas hymns.Adeste, Fideles, das hier in einer festlichen Bearbeitung fu?r Blechbläserquintett und Orgel ad lib. vorliegt, wird schon seit dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts in Frankreich und England zur Segnung in der Weihnachtszeit verwendet. Das im deutschen Sprachraum als Herbei, o ihr Gläubigen bekannte Lied wurde auÃ?erdem in u?ber 100 weitere Sprachen u?bersetzt und ist damit eines der beliebtesten Weihnachtslieder weltweit. Lâ??hymne chrétienne Adeste Fideles [Adeste Fidelis] est également connue sous le nom de Prosa In Nativitáte Dómini ou encore Cantique portugais (parce quâ??il fut chanté dans la chapelle de l'ambassade du Portugal Londres). Depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle, Adeste Fideles est chanté après la bénédiction de Noël dans de nombreuses églises françaises et anglaises. Le texte invite tous les croyants se rendre Bethléem pour adorer le Sauveur nouveau-né.Lâ??origine du cantique reste un mystère. On mentionne divers noms de poètes. Dâ??aucuns soutiennent quâ??il sâ??agit dâ??un noël ancien inspiré dâ??une danse autour de la crèche. On pense également que SaintFrançois dâ??Assise sâ??en serait servi pour sa crèche vivante. Dâ??autres attribuent son origine Saint Bonaventure, un prêtre franciscain, contemporain de Saint François, qui en aurait composé le texte original, en latin, au XIIIe siècle. Enfin, certains historiens affirment quâ??Adeste Fideles aurait été écrit par un poète anonyme français sous le règne de Louis XIV.Quoiquâ??il en soit, il est communément reconnu que les strophes ont été écrites ou découvertes par lâ??Anglais John Francis Wade (vers 1710-1786) alors quâ??il travaillait en tant que chercheur et copiste Douai en France. La première version imprimée du cantique date des années 1740. Elle fut ensuite intégrée au recueil Cantus Diversipublié en 1751.Catholique la c, John Francis Wade fuit lâ??Angleterre en proie des persécutions religieuses. Vers 1731, il copiait des manuscrits de plain-chant au Collège dominicain de Borhem en Flandre. Plus tard, il sâ??installa Douai dans le Nord de la France, forteresse de la foi catholique, où le roi d'Espagne Philippe II avait fondé une université, en 1559. Wade gagnait sa vie « en copiant et vendant des manuscrits de plain-chant et dâ??autres ?uvres ». Il fut également professeur de latin et de musique sacrée. La notice nécrologique mentionnait lâ??excellence de son travail de copiste, quâ??il réalisa pour des chapelles locales ou des.
