This Sonata No. 1, Op. 13 in A for violin and piano by Gabriel Fauré is presented as an Urtext edition by Roy Howat. Completed in 1877, this masterly sonata launched a new era in French chamber music, and has long held a central place in violin repertoire.Originally published in Germany, the sonata has long posed queries involving tempo, phrasing and texture. Roy Howat's Urtext critical edition addresses these problems by reference to original sources, including Fauré's manuscript score used for the sonata's première.The manuscript reveals that some of Fauré's violin writing was replaced in the first edition with more decorative figurations by the Belgian violin virtuoso Hubert Léonard; the present edition allows performers to choose between what has long been printed and Fauré's original figurations - some of which clarify the work's musical outlines.This is the only edition to present that vital material; a detailed commentary clarifies the sonata's history and how its sources relate.Die Sonate Nr. 1 op. 13 in A für Violine und Klavier von Gabriel Fauré wird als Urtextausgabe von Roy Howat präsentiert.Diese meisterhafte Sonate, die 1877 fertiggestellt wurde, leitete eine neue Ära in der französischen Kammermusik ein und nimmt seit langem einen zentralen Platz im Violinrepertoire ein.Ursprünglich in Deutschland veröffentlicht, hat die Sonate lange Zeit Fragen zu Tempo, Phrasierung und Textur aufgeworfen. Die kritische Urtextausgabe von Roy Howat geht auf diese Probleme ein, indem sie sich auf Originalquellen bezieht, darunter Faurés Partiturmanuskript, das für die Uraufführung der Sonate verwendet wurde.Aus dem Manuskript geht hervor, dass ein Teil von Faurés Violinschrift in der Erstausgabe durch dekorativere Figurationen des belgischen Violinvirtuosen Hubert Léonard ersetzt wurde; die vorliegende Ausgabe ermöglicht es den Interpreten, zwischen dem, was seit langem gedruckt wurde, und Faurés ursprünglichen Figurationen zu wählen - von denen einige die musikalischen Konturen des Werks verdeutlichen.Dies ist die einzige Ausgabe, die dieses wichtige Material enthält; ein ausführlicher Kommentar erläutert die Geschichte der Sonate und die Zusammenhänge ihrer Quellen.

The Lost Words by composer James Burton takes its inspiration and text from the award-winning 'cultural phenomenon' and book of the same name by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris: a book that was, in turn, a creative response to the removal of everyday nature words like acorn, newt and otter from a new edition of a widely used children's dictionary. Both the book and Burton's 32-minute work, which is written in 12 short movements for upper-voice choir in up to 3 voice parts (with either orchestral or piano accompaniment), celebrates each lost word with a beautiful poem or 'spell', magically brought to life in Burton's music. At its heart, the work delivers a powerful message about the need to close the gap between childhood and the natural world.
