'Bartok wrote 'Two Rumanian Dances' for piano, op.8a in 1909-1910 and arranged the first of the pair for orchestra in time for a concert on 12 February 1911. The highly positive reviews of the premiere describe the dance as brilliantly orchestrated, bizarre in its harmonies, and orgiastic in its conclusion. The A sections of its ABA form insistently repeat a four-bar theme that is itself composed of internal repetitions. Bartok maintains interest in the material by varying the orchestration, and, in the final section, with sudden breaks and changes in tempo. The slow middle section has a more vocal and impassioned emotional quality than the mechanistic dance that surrounds it. Bartok wrote in 1931 that although the work was inspired by Rumanian folk music, the themes were entirely his own.' (HCD 32506 Bartok New Series Vol. 6, David E. Schneider).

Complemented by Professor Strohm's facsimile edition of the entire source by the University of Chicago Press, the publication of eight Mass settings from the Lucca Choirbook is a signal contribution to our understanding of the dissemination of English music in fifteenth-century Europe. Only two are ascribed, to Walter Frye and Henricus Tik, but the insular provenance of the music is confirmed on grounds of style, repertoire and performance procedure. None of the Masses is preserved complete, but three are unica, and three others have been completed from concordances reflecting the significant influence of native-born composers on European music at this time.
