There is no reference to the origin occasion or a performance of the Sinfonia concertante in E-flat for Violin Viola and Orchestra K. 364 (320d) because in all probability it was composed in Salzburg (presumably in summer or early autumn 1779): Mozart seems to have had no reason to write about it. It was apparently in Paris that he first had the occasion of giving the genre of the ?Symphonie concertante? his special attention. On April 5 1778 he wrote to his father: ?Now I shall write a sinfonie concertante for flute wendling oboe Ramm Punto horn and Ritter bassoon?.Even more discouraging must have been the fact that he had similardifficulties in Paris in having the works performed as he had in Mannheim. After the organizier of the Concerts spirituels Le Gros contrary to his promise did not include the mentioned ?sinfonie concertante? in his program.Mozart had no reason to compose any more for this genre in Paris. After Mozart?s return to Salzburg he might have been eager to introduce the new genre there especially since adequate instrumentalists were available. Also the choice of the solo instruments (violin and viola) in the work presented here was probably influenced by the popularity of this instrumental combination in Salzburg at that time.- Urtext of the New Mozart Edition- Full score

for Flute or Violin and Basso Continuo-Published in 1728 Telemann’s sonatas are ‘methodical’ according to the meaning of the word at the time of their publication as in addition to the plain melody line given to the soloist in the first movements they alsoprovide an ornamented variant each time. This is instructive and very enjoyable music for today’s flautists and violinists.Henle’s luxurious new publication offers a solo and basso-continuo part in which the twoinstrumental lines are aligned for orientation plus another part that gives only an unrealised (but figured) bass line. The Henle edition also includes a full score with a stylistically appropriate continuo realisation.

For Clarinet solo with wind quartet and string quartet. Score OnlyFirst performed by Michael Collins Clarinet London Winds and the Endellion String Quartet on 27th January 2011 at the Wigmore Hall London.Scoring:Solo ClarinetFluteOboeBassoonFrench Horn2 ViolinsViolaCelloDuration:circa 13 minutes'During a visit to the exhibition of Francis Bacon at the Tate Gallery in December 2008my eye fell on Figure in a Landscape 1945 which resonated in me powerfully. It is a sceneof devastation and despair and also it seemed to me of latent anger and hostility... butabove it all a serene blue sky beckons. So perhaps even in the darkest moments there is aglimmer of hope - the possibility of change.This idea became the starting point for this work - Towards the Blue - a mini concerto forclarinet who eventually becomes the leader of the group.The work starts without the clarinet and all is desolate yet fiercely argumentative discordant and uncomfortable. Suddenly the offstage clarinet is heard and the players insurprise are quietened. However when the clarinet enters and approaches with a lyricalmusical motif some of the players respond others resist. Gradually the clarinetpersuades the dissident voices to join him in a spirit of co-operation and harmony.A brief memory of the opening desolation casts a momentary shadow which is quicklydispelled by the coda marked Gioioso.'Thea Musgrave (May 13th 2010)Parts available for hire separately

for Flute or Violin and Continuo-?Methodical? was how Telemann?s six sonatas were described when they were published in 1732 because they included a second ornamented version of the simple melody line of the solo instrument for the slow opening movements andfor the second movement of the c-minor sonata. This is music that is both instructive and also a delight to play and G. Henle Publishers can highly recommend it to the flautists and violinists of today. This lavishly appointednew edition has separate solo and bass continuo parts that contain the other part in each case for orientation purposes. There is also an additional part featuring only the figured bass line. This edition includes the score whichalso features a historically faithful realisation of the figured bass. The first volume of ?Methodical Sonatas? has already been published (HN 1266); this means that all twelve of Telemann?s sonatas are now available as HenleUrtext editions.

American Folk Song-This creative work began as an English setting of amazing grace by the composer David Huff (HMC1844). Here composer James Green makes extensive use of the original but sets the piece to native American Cherokee and adds flute or violin and a host of optional hand percussion instruments. The piece would be great for the festivities of American music month.

für Sopranblockflöte und Klavier-Born in Venice in 1678 Antonio Vivaldi was amongst the most fanous violinists ans conductors of his day was resident composer at the Conservatorio and influenced many of his musical contemporaries. He wrote operas oratorios fine chamber music concerts concertos for flute or violin and of course The Seasons. The individual pieces of his work may be considered to be the forerunners of 'programme' music. Spring Summer Autumn and Winter are masterpieces of Baroque music and adapt excellently for recorder ensemble. For this piece I have assembled various extracts in a single unified musical form for descant recorder and piano.
