Acclaimed French composer Albert Roussel is known today for his famous pupils Erik Satie and Edgard Varèse as well as for his own marvelous works. Composed specifically for the famed Goldman Band and premiered in 1933 inNew York City A Glorious Day is an invigorating work written in a modified overture format of fast-slow-fast. Mark Fonder's critical edition provides a rare opportunity to play a pre-WWII original band work and is animportant addition to the literature for contemporary wind bands.

The fate of Bohuslav Martinu's String Trio no.1 which dates from the turn of 1923 and 1924 and was lost until 2005 is somewhat remarkable. The trio is the first work which Martinu created in Paris after becoming the private pupil of Albert Roussel and was probably performed twice in Paris during 1924. It had its Czech premiere in February 1925 and Martinu requested his friend S. Novak to make sure that they didn't lose the scores of the things they played because he did not have any sketches or copies.Precisely that which Martinu feared then occurred - the sole existing version of the trio was lost; it was not until the autumn of 2005 that the autographof the trio (the score and parts for the viola and cello - the violin part is still missing) was found at the Danish Royal Library in Copenhagen thanks to the searches of the Bohuslav Martinu Institute and it is after this autograph that this edition has arisen.

Fidèle à son habitude, Satie opposa de manière humoristique au mythe des «dernières pensées» des grands maîtres ses «Avant-dernières pensées».

Comme il est d?usage dans ses ?uvres pour piano datant d?après 1912, Satie insère, dans la partition de ces trois pièces raffinées et pour le moins originales, une petite histoire bizarre, plus ou moins en lien avec la musique.

Il choisit de dédier ses «Avant-dernières pensées» à trois de ses illustres contemporains: son ami Claude Debussy (n° 1, «Idylle»), Paul Dukas, dont il admirait la musique (n° 2, «Aubade»), et Albert Roussel, son ancien professeur de contrepoint à la Schola Cantorum (n° 3, «Méditation»). / Classique / Partition / Agrafé /
