Anton Bruckner (1824-1896). Par BRUCKNER ANTON / DOSS THOMAS (Arr.). As a symphonic composer, Bruckner wrote a total of nine symphonies and many symphonic studies from 1863 onwards, tending to revise completed versions several times over. Bruckner's orchestral works were long considered unplayable, but in fact were merely exceptionally bold for the tonal language of their time, uniting traditions …

Par ROKEACH MARTIN. Going Up? was commissioned in 2007 by the New York trio Eight Strings and a Whistle and completed in 2008.

Spatzenmesse. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. An unusual feature of this Mass is its cyclic form, a compositional principle which Mozart first introduced in his masses in this 'Mass in C': in the Agnus Dei ('Dona nobis pacem') he reverted to the music of the Kyrie, thus giving the Mass overall musical unity. Another unusual feature of this work is its popular character. This is evident both in its ca…

Par WEISS SILVIUS LEOPOLD. Silvius Leopold Weiss (1687 1750) is known to guitarists as the greatest baroque composer for the lute, yet most are only familiar with the earlier portion of Weiss?s prolific output found in the British Library in London.

(Homage to Haydn). Par GOEHR ALEXANDER. My piece is subtitled ‘Homage to Haydn’. Why? Because it is modelled on Haydn’s Variations in F minor/major. But modelled does not imply pastiche or imitation. From Brahms onwards (if not before) there are countless examples of pieces modelled on others in a variety of ways. To do this does not imply a closeness to the original, rather inevitably a distance …
