Cats’ Night Out follows the adventures of a cat as it makes its big escape to explore the magical mysteries that await our feline friend in the darkness of the great outdoors. The opening line foreshadows the upcoming movements of our cat as it experiences a night outside. The first movement, On the Prowl, musically represents the cat as it roams around the neighborhood looking for adventure. The second movement Mouse Hunt, melodiously depicts a cat as it hunts down its favorite prey the mouse. The surprise ending represents the mouse making his great escape. This is a truly enjoyable selection for students and audiences alike. This programmatic work is an excellent choice for your next concert.

The present collection consists of a number of petty compositions most of which are within easy reach by young pianists of an intermediate technical level. In a lot of compositions for pianoforte, Mr Martinu has had himself inspired by children's world; he has been very close to children's imagination in a few cycles of miniatures for piano, especially in his three books of Puppets, as well as in Fables, Compositions for Children etc. Even his compositions of simple instrumental stylization possess a musical invention and an interesting musical description, such as the merry onomatopoeic trifle A Procession of Cats at Solstice Night. Little Eve's Composition and Contemplation, both of which were published in 1935 and 1936 in the music supplement to the magazine Eva, are educationally and musically priceless for young pianists with whom they arouse a sense for a modern expression. A touching meditation for piano are the Recollections, a small recital composition of 1957, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the death of the Brno composer Vaclav Kapral. lt is dedicated both to his and his gifted daughter Vitezslava Kapralova's memory. Prelude and another composition without name are two remarkable achievements of young Mr Martinu. Even without looking at the date of origin, 1924, it may be easily recognized from the character of music that they are congenial to the recent stimulations of the Paris avantgarde of the twenties-both rhythmically and harmonically.

Paul Merrill, director of the Cornell University Jazz Ensemble (Ithaca, NY), commissioned this engaging bossa nova original for proficient groups. Don't let the title fool you, though, because there's an abundance of subtle, yet challenging material here requiring a mature approach from the ensemble. The melody is based on a simple four-note motif played by Miles Davis on his album Tutu. Brown later adapted this score for small-group and recorded it on his CD Night Waves (Brown Cats Productions/BC9501). Guitar, tenor sax, and flugelhorn are featured in melodic and solo roles. Duration 5:35.
