Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) studied at the Paris Conservatoire before embarking upon a successful composing career. The composer wrote for a variety of instrumentations and his works remain popular to this day, Trio for Violin, Cello and Harp being no exception. Composed in 1944, Trio is suitable to advanced level violinists, cellists and harpists. Ibert was a unique composer who did not associate himself with any particular style. His music is generally lighthearted, often reflecting the composer's wit and humour. Containing a variety of musical aspects and techniques, and significantly composed for an unusual arrangement of violin and cello with harp accompaniment, Ibert's Trio is an exciting addition to the advanced level violin, cello and harp ensemble repertoire.

Capriccio is a term for a musical work that doesnâ??t strictly adhere to formal â??classicalâ?? conventions but rather follows its own ideas. The composer Pascal Proust plays about with the listenerâ??s normal expectations in an amusing way, such as presenting a slow swing groove in the piano that is overlaid with a barcarolle-like theme in in the winds, or the colourful coming-together of straight rock and tangoâ?¦ A varied and effective concert piece for four ambitious musicians!Een capriccio is een muziekstuk waarin de componist zich niet strikt aan de formele â??klassiekeâ?? conventies houdt, maar eerder zijn eigen ideeën volgt. Pascal Proust speelt in dit stuk op een grappige manier met de verwachtingen van de luisteraar: hij presenteert bijvoorbeeld een langzame swinggroove in de piano, die in contrast staat met het barcarolleachtige thema in het blazerstrio, en combineert op kleurrijke wijze kenmerken van de tango en de rock. Een afwisselend, effectvol concertstuk voor vier ambitieuze spelers!Capriccio ist eine Bezeichnung für Kompositionen, die sich nicht streng an klassischeâ?? Konventionen gebunden fühlen, sondern ihrer eigenen Idee folgen. Der Komponist Pascal Proust spielt hier auf launige Art mit den gängigen Hörerwartungen: Mal konfrontiert er einen langsamen Swing-Groove im Klavier mit einem barkarolenartigen Rhythmus in den Bläsern, mal schreibt er eine Musik irgendwo zwischen Tango und straighter Rock-Nummer. Ein abwechslungsreiches, effektvolles Konzertstück für vier ambitionierte Musiker!Le terme de capriccio désigne des compositions qui ne sont pas strictement liées des conventions « classiques » et suivent leur propre inspiration. Le compositeur Pascal Proust se joue ici avec humour des attentes habituelles de l'auditeur : tantôt il confronte le lent groove swing du piano au rythme de barcarole des vents, tantôt il écrit une musique la croisée du tango et du rock pur. Une pièce de concert efficace et variée pour quatre musiciens ambitieux !

Tangos, like ragtimes and waltzes, are an integral part of Elena Kats-Chernin's music, always in a new and varied form. In it, the composer allusively combines her present time with the classical tradition and high art with light music. Slicked Back Tango was originally written in 1995 for piano four hands, the present version in 2002 for the Australian Streeton Trio. This tango harks back to the time of silent movies. I was thinking of the 1920s and film star Rudolph Valentino. The title refers to his hairstyle, says Kats-Chernin.

Composer's note: Originally a song for children about flying in ones dreams, this lyrical piece tries never to touch the ground.

Russian Rag is one of Elena Kats-Chernins most famous pieces. It was arranged by her for various instrumentations and was used, among other things, as film music in the clay animation film Mary & Max. The composer herself says: Ragtimes are such fun to write and they have a somewhat dark melancholy. Russian music often has a melancholic quality, and I was brought up on Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich. I rarely write in major keys it seems and Russian Rag is no exception, however it concludesoptimistically on a major chord..

Composer's note: In 2000 I wrote a piece called Sand Waltz for the Canberra Wind Players. In the middle of it I wrote a four-chord progression. WhenI started working on the ballet Wild Swans (2003) I came back to this material and it became something that I grew to rather like. Eventually it became the basis for the overture to the whole ballet. It had somewhat dreamy quality but also a sense of anticipationand mystery. Later, when writing this as the first movement of the Concert Suite Wild Swans I gave it a title Green Leaf as it refected the way the princess Eliza was making a hole in a green leaf to look through it, imagining far-away exotic lands and birds..
