Alwyn, William: Sonatina for Violin and Piano
Ref: H471
[PDF Sample]
Best known as the composer of classic film scores including
The History of Mr Polly
,
The Winslow Boy
and
A Night to Remember
, William Alwyn (1905-1985) also wrote symphonies, concertos and fluently idiomatic chamber music, of which this attractive Sonatina for violin and piano is a fine example.
Lasting around 12 minutes, and bearing the Alwyn hallmarks of rich, romantic harmony and vigorous, expressive line, it follows a traditional plan, opening with a flowing sonata first-movement both thoughtful and preludial in character. An introspective Adagio strikes a deeper note before a rousing finale, cast in the stirring rhythms of waltz and syncopated gigue, closes the work with a flourish.
Though premiered at the Royal Academy of Music in 1935, the Sonatina remained unpublished for 75 years, coming to wider notice in a recent recording by Madeleine Mitchell and Andrew Ball on the Naxos label. Violinists of Grades 7 to 8 standard or above will welcome this new work from the pen of an important 20th-century British composer, whose technical command of the medium will be immediately apparent.

Bridge, Frank: Spring Song and Lullaby for Violin and Piano.
Ref: H473
Nos. 2 & 3 of 'Four Short Pieces'
[PDF Sample]
Once chiefly esteemed for the radicalism of his late style, Frank Bridge is no less admired today for his earlier works written in a polished romantic idiom tailored both to the taste of his audience and the capabilities of his performers.
The Four Short Pieces for violin and piano of 1912 are a perfect flowering of these gifts. With
Meditation
and
Country Dance
from the set already published separately by Stainer & Bell, the release of
Spring Song
and
Lullaby
as a pair makes the complete collection now available.
Spring Song
is a charming aubade in the manner of Elgar's
Chanson de Matin
, but with a piquant modality also redolent of Gabriel Fauré's salon style. The smoothly eloquent melody of
Lullaby
showcases vibrato, evenness of tone and bowing control. An alternative Grade 3 choice in the new Associated Board violin syllabus starting in 2012, it will be preferred by many teachers and examination candidates for its musical distinction and poetical atmosphere.

Carse, Adam: The Winton Suite. Score
Ref: Y249
[PDF Sample]
Reissued by popular demand, Adam Carse's
Winton Suite
is among the many treasures to be found in the Naxos CD series of English string miniatures, where it appears in volume six, together with music by Holst, Purcell and Warlock.
Standing worthily beside more familiar pieces for string orchestra such as Elgar's
Serenade
and Parry's
Lady Radnor Suite
, it is a five-movement work in a vigorous classical form that balances stirring fast music with lyrical, reflective passages.
It will have a wide currency among music lovers in general, and will appeal particularly to string specialists in search of repertoire for summer schools and educational courses, especially those involving young musicians whose technical limitations do not prevent them from tackling repertoire of genuine substance and stature.

Hayes, Morgan: Völklinger Hütte for Violin, Cello and Piano
Ref: Y285
[PDF Sample]
Goethe's dictum that architecture is frozen music has been a powerful stimulus for composers over the centuries, but in the case of Morgan Hayes the stark features of modern industrial buildings rather than the splendours of the Gothic or Baroque styles have been an impressive influence.
In the case of his most recent work,
Völklinger Hütte
, the great German steel foundry of that name, in operation for over a hundred years, was the trigger for a powerful yet succinct one-movement structure for piano trio. Situated in the town of Völklingen, this extraordinary monument to German engineering prowess is now a UNESCO world heritage site. Hayes discovered it by chance, through a reference in a Lonely Planet guide while he was visiting nearby Saarbrüken for a performance of another of his compositions.
The austere beauty of the location has infused the music with sharp dynamic and timbral extremes which also suggest its awesome scale. Grinding, machine-like textures cheek by jowl with passages of reposeful silence also project the nostalgic atmosphere of the now silent plant contrasted with the bustle of its heyday, still echoing in the brutally functional geometrical forms of its corroding chimneys, cranes and blast furnaces.
Völklinger Hütte
lasts around six minutes.

Two Eighteenth-Century Pieces
Ref: H468
[Standard: Intermediate]
[PDF Sample]
Arranged for Double Bass and Piano by H Samuel Sterling
Rameau: Tambourin
Giordani: Larghetto
The lively
Tambourin
by Rameau is among the most popular of baroque instrumental pieces, and in H. Samuel Sterling's idiomatic arrangement for double bass and piano it forms a welcome addition to the bassist's repertoire. Giordani's stately
Larghetto
is an ideal counterweight, and an exercise in sustained, expressive playing that is included in the Associated Board Grade 6 syllabus for the instrument.
