Variations and Miscellaneous Pieces for keyboard Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch In his day, Carl Fasch was regarded as the true successor to C. P. E. Bach. This final (third) volume of the composer's complete keyboard works includes his four sets of extended variations, containing some impressive displays of virtuosity, and a variety of shorter pieces, the majority previously unpublished. The whole three-volume keyboard cycle provides the modern player with remarkable, high-quality new repertoire for performance on the clavichord, harpsichord, or fortepiano.

Italian Pastoralette — Amor vince ogni cosa Marc-Antoine Charpentier Marc-Antoine Charpentier was unusual among his French contemporaries in setting a significant number of Italian texts, of which two of the most substantial are a pair of pastoralettes, ‘Amor vince ogni cosa’ and ‘Cupido dentr’al mio cuor’.  ‘Amor vince ogni cosa’, a cantata-like work on the theme ‘true love conquers all’, nicely illustrates Charpentier’s integration of innovative Italian features into an essentially French musical style. Scored for five solo voices, two treble instruments and continuo, the work is also suitable for performance by larger forces.

Sonatas and Character Pieces for keyboard Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch The second volume of keyboard music by the reclusive Carl Fasch contains two unpublished sonatas (one in the unusual key of B flat minor) and his considerable output of “character pieces”, short descriptive works which justify contemporary opinion that he was the true successor to C. P. E. Bach. These individual vignettes are ideal for playing on either the clavichord or the fortepiano and provide an expressive foil to the first volume’s more extended and extrovert sonatas.

Entre Nous for Violoncello solo Stephen Pratt Entre Nous, written for the outstanding Norwegian cellist Jonathan Aasgaard, is one of a proposed series of three related works, all featuring solo cello. The title reflects the sense of collaboration at the heart of the project, and is, in this first piece of the set, a starting point for the music itself. In effect, two “voices” can be heard in dialogue through the work’s three movements — “Talking it over”, “Just …”, “… saying” — one gradually becoming more animated while a more lyrical and reflective voice attempts to keep things calm.

The Clash of Icicles against the Stars Nirmali Fenn The premise underlying The Clash of Icicles against the Stars is the Chinese concept of qi. Qi means ‘breath’, ‘air’ or ‘gas’ and signifies the energy flow or life force that is the fundamental sustaining element of existence. The piece explores the various air chambers of the three instruments for which it is written, with the accordion compressing and expanding its chamber to manufacture sound, while the sheng, China’s oldest wind instrument and the ancestor of the accordion, uses reed vibration in contrast to the reedless flute, whose embouchure hole provides the basis for timbral experimentation. The I Ching provides a symmetrical structural base, while Rimbaud’s poem ‘Barbarian’, with its highly emotional imagery, evokes the spatial range and temporal pace of The Clash of Icicles against the Stars.
