There! I’ve Said It Again is a classic of the Rock and Roll era. It was written in 1945 by the American lyricist Redd Evans (1912-1972) and songwriter David Mann (1916-2002) and first recordedin the same year by the baritone and bandleader Vaughn Monroe (1911-1973). However it is best remembered for the 1963 version by Bobby Vinton (b.1935) which topped the American charts for four consecutiveweeks. It was the last American song to reach No. 1 before the Beatlemania arrived and took over heralding a new era of British imports. As such it is often seen to mark a watershed moment.This classic song has beentranscribed for Piano Voice and Guitar with Boxed Chord symbols for easy use.

This matching songbook for Hugh Laurie's debut album Let Them Talk includes all 15 classic blues songs arranged for Piano Voice and Guitar.British actor comedian and musician Hugh Laurie has become a household name in his home country through his parts in shows such as Jeeves and Wooster and A Bit of Fry and Laurie both comedic collaborations withStephen Fry. More recently he has donned an impeccable American accent and played multiple major acting roles across the pond including the title role in the TV series House.A talented musician andmulti-instrumentalist Laurie was often seen combining music and comedy in A Bit of Fry and Laurie. One such case involved a blues rip-off titled 'Too Long Johnny' which although obviously poking fun was neverthelessbacked by an obvious natural affinity with this foundational music genre.With his debut album Let Them Talk Laurie returns to music and more specifically the blues this time with a more serious takeon the classic blues songs which have inspired him and in the wider sphere laid the foundation for popular music as we know it.

Fantasy On A Theme Of Liszt was written in 1967 for a Cheltenham Festival concert. The theme which lies behind the work is the opening tune of Liszt's Faust Symphony though this is never heard in its original form but is rather used as a thematic reservoir from which the music is derived. It is dedicated to the American composer and conductor Bernard Herrmann. John McCabe (1939-2015) was a British composer pianist and music administrator. He studied at the Royal Manchester College of Music (now the RNCM) and built a career as a virtuoso pianist. However he also wrote several hundred musical compositions ranging from large-scaleorchestral works to chamber music and solo instrumental pieces - it is said the only classical genre he did not write for was opera.

'Yankee Doodle' with variations is the most concise way to describe the piece commissioned by the New Haven Symphony Orchestra to commemorate Conneticut's participation in The United States Bicentennial. 'Yankee Doodle' a tune dating back to the Middle Ages in Holland and England (and used by the British as early as 1755 to poke fun at untrained American troops in the French and Indian war) is interwoven with other folk and national melodies to stitch a patchwork or a musical collage. It is a personal view of American history.'To explain my approach to They All Sang Yankee Doodle I must explain my own background because the piece is made up ofmusical memories imprinted from early childhood.My earliest musical memories are a juxtaposition of sounds - hymns and Bach chorales from the church next door where my mother was choir director; early twenties jazz from my oldest brother's dance band; classical piano from my middle brother and my mother's piano studio; and cowboy songs and turn-of-the-century ballads that I have always identified with my father. Concord California where I was born was once part of a land grant from the Mexican government and the Spanish-Mexican influence remained strong even as the town expanded from a sleepy settlement into an American microcosmos with a wide variety of ethnic groups. Over fifty years ago most of us who sang 'Yankee Doodle' in Concord could not trace our ancestry to the founding fathers. Those of us with Anglo-Saxon names were at the end of the Westward push our forefathers having left behind the Eastern cities a few generations before settling for a time mid-continent then restlessly pushing further West. Little is known of my paternal grandfather for instance except that he had come to California from Indiana walking across Nevada desert to become one of the first settlers in Mordoc Indian territory.Of course the native American the Indian was there to greet each new migration and it is his
