for Tenor Tuba (Euphonium) and piano Vaughan Williams's Concerto
for Bass Tuba and Orchestra was the first major concerto to be
written for the instrument. It was composed in 1953-4 to mark the
50th anniversary of the LSO, and was premiered by the orchestra's
principal tuba player, Philip Catelinet. The original plan to
transpose it for Euphonium was not realised during the composer's
lifetime, and only now, in this transcription by David Childs, has
that goal been attained, with Vaughan Williams's orchestration
deftly transposed and rearranged by Rodney Newton to allow this
characteristic work to enter the repertoire of many more players.

The British duo, Flanders and Swann, were the actor and singer
Michael Flanders (1922-1975) and the composer, pianist and linguist
Donald Swann (1923-1994) who collaborated in writing and performing
comic songs. A chance meeting in 1948 led to a musical partnership
writing songs and light opera that have been sung by performers
such as Ian Wallace and Joyce Grenfell. In December 1956, Flanders
and Swann performed their own two-man revue "At The Drop Of A Hat",
which opened on New Year's Eve. Over the course of 11 years,
Flanders and Swann gave nearly 2,000 live performances. Although
their performing partnership ended in 1967, they remained friends
afterwards and collaborated on occasional projects. Songs of
Flanders and Swann brings together 41 classic songs and represents
a definitive collection.

for solo organ. This superb volume contains twelve varied pieces
arranged for organ by celebrated recitalist Thomas Trotter. A
selection of orchestral, piano, and vocal originals, including
works by Delibes, Gounod, Grieg, Eric Coates, and Madeleine Dring,
has been transcribed with a finely honed sense of idiom so as to be
manageable on most organs. All the pieces are short and suitable
for use as recital encores, but they would also be effective as
programmed items in recitals of lighter works, and in some cases as
church voluntaries.
A deeply researched biography of the great French organist, who
composed some of the best-loved works in the organ repertory -- and
the masterful Requiem. Maurice Durufle: The Man and His Music is a
new biography of the great French organist and composer (1902-86),
and the most comprehensive in any language. James E. Frazier traces
Durufle's musical training, his studies withTournemire and Vierne,
and his career as an organist, church musician, composer,
recitalist, Conservatoire professor, and orchestral musician.
Frazier also examines the career and contributions of Durufle's
wife, the formidable organist Marie-Madeleine Durufle-Chevalier.
Durufle brought the church's unique language of plainsong into a
compelling liaison with the secular harmonies of the modern French
school (as typified by Debussy, Ravel, and Dukas)in works for his
own instrument and in his widely loved masterpiece, the Requiem Op.
9 for soloists, chorus, organ, and orchestra. Drawing on the
accounts of those who knew Durufle personally as well as on
Frazier's own detailed research, Maurice Durufle offers a broad
sketch of this modest and elusive man, widely recognized today for
having created some of the greatest works in the organ repertory --
and the masterful Requiem. James E. Frazier holds advanced degrees
in philosophy, organ, theology, and sacred music from St. Alphonsus
College, Mt. St. Alphonsus Seminary, Hartt School of Music, the
Yale University Divinity School, and the Yale Institute of Sacred
Music. He served Episcopal churches in Hartford, Connecticut, and
St. Paul, Minnesota, as organist and director of music. For ten
years he was director of music for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and
Minneapolis.
