Originally, Édouard Lalo was meant to follow an officer's career but his musical talent soon became apparent and so he decided to become a musician. Every cellist is familiar with his Cello Concerto in d minor which is just as spirited as his "Symphonie espagnole".Many renowned virtuosi, from Julius Klengel to Leonard Rose, have published their own editions of the concerto. Henle's Urtext edition distances itself from all of the additions made by other editors, but it offers both an unmarked part and one with fingerings and bowings by the famous cellist Heinrich Schiff.

Commissioned by the Wigmore Hall for the composer's 60th birthday with funds from ACNI."viola:piano is one of a set of 6 pieces which I wrote in 2008 and 2009. Two of the others, violin:piano and cello:piano require the instrumentalists to play at different tempi from each other throughout. In this piece the players are playing together, but their material is, for the most part, quite different, and for the first 12 minutes, the two parts have little in common. It is only after this that they begin a more conventional contrapuntal relationship. This is the first of these pieces to be premiered. It was commissioned by the Wigmore Hall with funding from the Arts Council of Ireland. The piece is dedicated to Mary Rörich."            - Kevin Volans

This work fuses two well known traditional carols, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Carol of the Bells, into an intriguing tapestry of textures and colors. It is meant to allow the listener to consider the reflective and sometimes hectic and even tense nature of the holiday season. The brooding, restless introduction gives way to a more buoyant treatment of God Rest with fragments of Carol of the Bells. The mood becomes turbulent and eventually Carol of the Bells becomes the main theme and God Rest in augmentation serves as the accompaniment. The work concludes with a fughetto built on a variant of the opening bass line sprinkled with thematic fragments from the two carols and subsides into a calm, peaceful conclusion. It was commissioned by Director's Choice Tour and Travel for the Tejeda Middle School Orchestra, San Antonio, Texas to commemorate their selection to perform at the 63rd annual Midwest Clinic in Chicago.

Oboe quartet in which the Norwegian composer used fractal mathematics as part of his compositional technique.The title and concept behind the piece comes from David Grossmann's novel see under: love, in which he among other things describes a man who joins a school of salmon on its way through the oceans. He swims, eats and sleeps together with them, and gradually he understands the forces that make this large group of fish swim almost as one body.
