There are a lot of ladybugs around here in July: Black with red spots, red with black spots, young yellow ones and the black and yellow larvae. They seem to be having a good time and are doing a great job eating blackflies, so this song is dedicated to these cheerful little beetles.

Runyan's powerful melody is encapsulated with this dignified arrangement that aims to replicate the power of its message.  During the introduction and transitions, the hemiola in the piano accompaniment provides a warm landscape and support on which the violin performs development passages and continuously build to each following section.  The piano takes over the melody as a solo before rejoined by the harmonizing violin, then builds into a final declaration of love toward the one true God.  This will be a powerful performance for your audience at your next worship service.

Always on My Mind is a ballad written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, first recorded by Brenda Lee and first released by Gwen McCrae (as You Were Always on My Mind) in March 1972. Lee's version was released three months later in June 1972. The song has been a crossover hit, charting in both the country and western and pop categories. Elvis Presley's recording was the first commercially successful version of the song.

AllMusic lists more than 300 recorded releases of the song in versions by dozens of performers. While Lee's version reached no. 45 on the US country chart in 1972, other performers reached the Top 20 on the country and/or pop charts in the United States and elsewhere with their own versions: Elvis Presley (1972, US country; UK pop Top Ten); John Wesley Ryles (1979, US country) and Willie Nelson's Grammy Award-winning version (1982, US/Canada country number one; US/Canada pop Top Ten); and the Pet Shop Boys' 1987 hi-NRG/synth-pop interpretation (UK number one; US Top Ten).

This arrangement of what is a beautiful song is suitable for players of around Grade 4 ABRSM or equivalent.

Un flambeau, Jeannette, Isabelle (Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabelle), is a beautiful Christmas carol dating back to 17th century France.  This arrangement for two violins and piano can be played simply as two repetitions of the melody (a lighter and easier version) or with the expanded fantasia-like development that greatly expands upon the original tune (slightly more advanced).  It can also be performed in a number of ways; solo with piano, duo with piano, or unaccompanied violin duet.  Included is the piano score and individual violin parts.
