Rheinberger's popularity during his lifetime was based, for the most part, on his secular choral music. His cycles for men's and women's choir, most of which were commissioned works, are contained in two volumes of the Complete Edition (vols. 19 and 20). Among this music there are humorous songs and drinking songs, idyllic settings of texts drawn from nature, and songs in a folk-like idiom which are light and easily performable, as well as several more ambitious compositions which were written for choral competitions in Rheinberger's day.

Adam Granger self-published the first edition of Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar in 1979. A second edition was published in 1994. Now Mel Bay Publications presents the third edition of the book.
This 236-page book is the most extensive and best-documented collection of fiddle tunes for the flatpicking guitar player in existence, and includes reels, hoedowns, hornpipes, rags, breakdowns, jigs and slip-jigs, presented in Southern, Northern, Irish, Canadian, Texas and Old-time styles.
There are 508 fiddle tunes referenced under 2500 titles and alternate titles. The titles are fully indexed, making the book doubly valuable as a reference book and a source book.
In this new edition, all tunes are typeset, instead of being handwritten as they were in the previous editions, making the tabs easier to read.
The tunes in Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar are presented in Easytab, a streamlined tablature notation system designed by Adam specifically for fiddle tunes.
The book comes with a link which gives access to mp3 recordings by Adam of all 508 tunes, each played once at a moderate tempo, with rhythm on one channel and lead on the other.
Also included in Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar are instructions for reading Easytab, descriptions of tune types presented in the book, and primers on traditional flatpicking and rhythm guitar. Additionally, there are sections on timing, ornamentation, technique, and fingering, as well as information on tune sources and a history of the collection.
Mel Bay also offers The Granger Collection, by Bill Nicholson, the same 508 tunes in standard music notation.

I have only visited Damascus once, twenty years ago, on the way to Palmyra. I had a purpose (I was writing music for a play about Palmyra’s Queen Zenobia) but essentially I was a tourist. Like any visitor, I was thrilled to step out of the noisy modern city into the magical ancient world of the walled Old City, its vibrant souk leading to the magnificent mosque, and a labyrinth of winding, narrow streets filled with the smell of unleavened bread.
In Palmyra, I was met with extraordinary kindness everywhere. On one occasion, a little Bedouin boy noticed that I was risking sunstroke wandering bare-headed among the spectacular ruins: he showed me how to tie a turban, then took me to have tea with his family in their tent.
Since then, I have watched helplessly as these places of wonder have been devastated and their inhabitants scattered and killed. When the Sacconi Quartet suggested that I might choose a Syrian poet for our collaboration, I welcomed the idea.
I searched for a long time to find a contemporary poet whose work might gain from any music I could imagine. I felt it was important to find first-hand accounts of the Syrian experience – but, of course, I was always reading them in translation. In an anthology called Syria Speaks, I was astonished to read something that looked like prose, but was full of poetry. It was Anne-Marie McManus’s fine translation of Ali Safar’s A Black Cloud in a Leaden White Sky – an eloquent, thoughtful, contained yet vivid account of life in a war-torn country, all the more moving for its restraint.
In setting these words, I have not attempted to imitate Syrian music. However, there is what might be called a linguistic accommodation in my choice of scale, or mode. Several movements are in a mode that I first discovered while writing a cantata commemorating the First World War: it has a tuning that I associate with war, its violence and desolation. This eight-note mode is similar to scales found in Syrian music. I did not choose it in the abstract: it emerged from the harmonies I was exploring in the earlier work, and emerged again as I was looking for the right musical colours to set Ali Safar’s words. In this work, its Arabic aspect is more prominent. - Jonathan Dove

Norbert Schultze: E- oder U-Komponist? Opern- oder Schlagerkomponist?Genau dazwischen, meint er selbst und beschreibt sein Leben, vom Geburtsort Braunschweig 1911 uber Studium in Koln und Munchen bis zum Studentenbrettel Die vier Nachrichter 1931, dem er unter dem Pseudonym Frank Norbert mit Unterbrechungen 4 Jahre lang angehort - zusammen mit Kurd E. Heyne, Bobby Todd und Helmut Kautner. Dazwischen ist er Opernkapellmeister in Heidelberg und Darmstadt, wird dort 1933 von den neuen Machthabern vertrieben, nach dem Erfolg seiner Oper Schwarzer Peter (Hamburg 1936) jedoch verwohnt und privilegiert, darf wahrend des Krieges Filmmusiken komponieren (u.a. Symphonie eines Lebens) und seine zweite Oper Das kalte Herz. 1945 drei Jahre Berufsverbot. Schreibt danach wieder Musik zu insgesamt 70 Filmen (u.a. 1958 Das Madchen Rosemarie), zu einem Musical Kapt'n Bay-Bay (Hamburg 1950), einer Operette Regen in Paris (Nurnberg 1956), der Fernseh-Oper Peter der dritte (ZDF 1966) und an die 100 Lieder und Chansons, von denen Lili Marleen (1938) ganz ohne sein Zutun weltweite Verbreitung findet. Schultze erzahlt uber seine Librettisten (Walter Lieck, Hans Leip, Fritz Grasshof u.a.) und seine wichtigsten Interpreten: Lale Andersen und Marlene Dietrich (Lili Marleen), Rudolf Schock (Ach, ich hab in meinem Herzen) und Hans Albers (Nimm mich mit, Kapitan, auf die Reise). Er berichtet aus sturmisch bewegter Zeit, fuhrt uns offen und ehrlich durch Hohen und Tiefen seines Lebens, ohne sich zu schonen und ohne eigene Fehler zu verschweigen.Ein hochinteressantes Dokument zur Zeitgeschichte, informativ, unterhaltsam und spannend.
