This unique volume contains, in parallel translation, a thousand of the most frequently performed Lieder, both piano-accompanied and orchestral. Composers are arranged alphabetically, with their songs appearing under poet in chronological order of composition - thus allowing the reader to engage in depth with a particular poet and at the same time to follow the composer's development. Richard Stokes, whose work in this field is already widely acclaimed, provides illuminating short essays on each composer's approach to Lieder composition, as well notes on all the poets who inspired the songs. The volume is notable for the accuracy and elegance of its translations, and for its fidelity to the German verse: every care has been taken to print the words of the sung text, while adhering to the versification and punctuation of the original poem. Beethoven, Schubert and Schumann, Goethe, Heine and Morike are among the highlights of a book which, together with an illuminating foreword by Ian Bostridge, will be indispensable for every music lover.

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) was a prolific composer of orchestral works and many other forms of music, including chamber works and art songs. He also wrote many operas, excerpts from which are featured in this collection.
Contents include the famous orchestral interlude "The Flight of the Bumblebee" as well as the suite from "The Tale of Tsar Saltan." This fanciful opera was based on Aleksandr Pushkin's poem, "The Tale of Tsar Saltan, of His Son the Renowned and Mighty Bogatyr Prince Gvidon Saltanovich and of the Beautiful Princess-Swan." Additional selections include the suite from another work inspired by Pushkin's poetry, " The Golden Cockerel," a controversial satire of the disastrous effects of the tsarist regime. Nikolai Gogol's "Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka" served as the basis for" Christmas Eve," a tale of magical doings on Christmas Eve. The final suite is from "Dubinushka," Op. 62, a work rooted in a song the composer overheard protesters singing during the 1905 revolution. Musicians and music lovers will appreciate this inexpensive collection of popular works, all reproduced from authoritative sources.

(Vocal Collection). This is the most serious and useful collection yet published of solo arias from oratorios, masses and cantatas. The literature was confined to work by major composers, and by-passes the dated oratorio literature found in previous collections. The most famous music is here, and so is interesting and less famous music by masters. There are new music engravings for each aria, and extensive historical notes and translations. Solo instrumental obbligato parts, which can be cut from the book, are included on appropriate selections.

(Waltons Irish Music Books). This unique volume is the second collection of the renowned Galway flute player's compositions and includes his wonderful "Ward's Eviction Suite." Vincent Broderick's tunes have all the qualities that have made them, naturally and gracefully, such an important part of the Irish music tradition. The arrangements are suitable for all melody instruments.
