A Century Of English Song Vol. 5 (Soprano)

In 1977, The Association of English Singers and Speakers published a four-volume work, A Heritage of Twentieth Century British Song, which was a collection of songs published by Boosey & Hawkes and which were, in the opinion of the editors, worthy of the attention that such a publication would bring. Sixteen years later, with the benefit of further perspective, the Association has published this supplemental volume, differing from its distinguished predecessor in that it includes works both unpublished and published by a variety of companies. The composers range from the very most familiar and celebrated – Ralph Vaughan Williams, Arnold Bax, Elizabeth Poston – to the lesser-known, like Rebecca Clarke and Alastair MacGeorge. The book includes biographical information on the composers and notes about each song for performance purposes. The technical requirements range from quite straightforward to most demanding.

A Century Of English Song - Volume I

This series includes songs by composers who may be little known outside specialist circles but who have achieved something distinctive in this field. Many of these songs, and some by well-known composers, have long been out of print. Although several publishers now offer an authorized photocopy service, the problem is often knowing of the existence of a song, rather than of obtaining a copy of it.To keep costs to minimum, use has in many cases been made of the original engraving (corrected where necessary), even where this may lead to a somewhat uneven result visually. The intention is to get these volumes into the hands of performers of all ages at an economic price. There is, above all, a simple missionary purpose: to enthuse, encourage and (in the best sense) educate.

Love And Time (High)

Dring herself had perfect pitch and these songs make technical demands upon the singer, to good effect.Twentieth century English composer, singer and actress Madeleine Dring wrote songs that frequently employed jazz chords in their accompaniment which has been compared in the US to Gershwin. Here there are touches of artsong, French chanson and some element that is Dring’s own idiomatic style.

Percy Turnbull: Sonatina (Piano)

Having been demobilised from the Royal Artillery after the second World War, Percy Turnbull became principal piano teacher at the Surry College of Music at Fitznells and it was during this period that he composed his Sonatina for Piano. This is a skilled piece that shows similar merits to that of works by Debussy and other late 19th and early 20th Century French composers.

Eric Wetherell: Bristol Quay Suite for String Orchestra

A magnificent suite, written in 1987 by Eric Wetherell, for String Orchestra. The first movement is based on the sea shanty Santiano, hinting at the danger as well as the romance of life at sea. The second is a gentle waltz; perhaps the eighteenth century sailor, putting into port, found an opportunity to show his gentler side. The Polish folk-song River Wisla is the theme of the third movement, and the finale is a fast 6/8 firmly rooted in the English musical tradition.

Dedications (Medium/High)
