Programme note:

In 1906 the Hungarian composers Béla Bartók (1881 – 1945) and Zoltán Kodály (1882  â€“ 1967) published a collection of twenty Hungarian Folksong arrangements for voice and piano ('Magyar népdalok énekhangra és zongorára'). The first ten arrangements are by Bartók. The first song: 'Elindultam szép hazámból' (I left my beautiful fatherland) came to be applied to Bartók himself after his self-imposed exile in the USA. The third and fourth movements are in two parts - the third movement presenting two versions of 'Fehér László', and the fourth movement containing two different songs - 'A gyulai kert alatt' and 'A kertmegi kert alatt'. In later editions, the fifth song - 'Ucca, ucca, ég az ucca' - was omitted, but is retained in these arrangements for instruments in four parts.

The titles of the ten songs by Bartók are:

1. Elindultam szép hazámbul / Far Behind I Left My Country

2. �ltal mennék én a Tiszán ladikon / Crossing the River

3a. Fehér László / The Horse-thief

3b. Fehér László / The Horse-thief

4a. A gyulai kert alatt / In the Summer Fields

4b. A kertmegi kert alatt / I Was in a Garden Green

5. Ucca, ucca, ég az ucca

7. Száraz ágtól messze virít a rózsa / Love’s a Burden

8. Végigmentem a tárkányi / Walking Through the Town

9. Nem messze van ide kis Margitta / The Horseman

10. Szánt a babám / My Love Has Gone A-ploughing.

The English composer Henry Purcell wrote incidental music for a revival of the play in the summer of 1695. Purcell's music comprises ten movements, the second of which is the Rondeau. Benjamin Britten used the Rondeau in 1945 as the theme for his set of variations 'The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra', Op.34.

Programme note:

The 12 'Sonate da Chiesa' by Italian violinist and composer Arcangelo Corelli were published in Rome in 1681. These 'Church Sonatas' were originally intended for performance in church by two violins with the organ as 'basso continuo' reinforced by the bass viol. These types of work are sometimes known as 'Trio Sonatas' but, because there normally are two people playing the continuo part, there are usually four players in all.

The seventh sonata has three movements, with the tempo markings Allegro, Grave, and Allegro.

Impromptu No. 2 in B Minor by English composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875 – 1912) was first published in 1911 as one of two Impromptus for piano. In 1916 the piece appeared as '2nd Impromptu', transcribed by Arthur Eaglefield-Hull, in the first book of an album of organ versions of Coleridge-Taylor's compositions. Neither the piano or organ version of the B Minor Impromptu has a printed Opus number, and is different to Coleridge-Taylor's Impromptu No. 2 Op.78 which is in C Major and part of a set of three Impromptus for organ, also published in 1911.

Any other appropriate instruments, even if not suggested above, may play.

Play cue-sized notes in brackets where main notes are out of range or inconvenient.

The final section of Vodery's original piano score includes instructions to 'clap hands' and 'knock on piano with knuckles'. This arrangement includes similar instructions for the same bars, indicated by x noteheads.

The final four bars of this arrangement are not in the original composition and may be omitted.

'Carolina Fox Trot' was recorded by the Victor Military Band on 13 October 1914 with the Victor recording label ledgers noting: 34 bars per minute, equivalent to 68 bpm. A recording by the Pathé Dance Orchestra in late 1914-early 1915 appears to be at a faster tempo - reflected in this arrangement. 

Programme note:

'Carolina Fox Trot' was written by US composer and arranger Will H. Vodery and published as a piano piece in 1914, with a sub-title 'New One Step', and with a front cover description: New Society Dance - Originated by Billy Kent & Jeanette Warner - America's Classiest Dancers. It is possible that the title of the piece was intended to be just 'Carolina', with 'Fox Trot' being a descriptive subtitle. The Fox Trot emerged as a new popular dance in 1914, and was initially danced to ragtime music.

Will Vodery is perhaps best known for the vocal and choral arrangements that he created for the original Broadway stage production of the classic musical 'Show Boat' (1927).

Programme note:

Adaline Shepherd (1883 – 1950) was an American composer of piano pieces. In her twenties, she composed three ragtime pieces: Pickles and Peppers (1906), Wireless Rag (1909), and Live Wires Rag (1909). She married Frederick Sherman Olson in 1910, and thereafter used his last name as her own. After her marriage, she retired from composition, and her compositions were unknown to her remaining family by the 1970s until reporters contacted them.

The dedication in the original piano composition reads: Dedicated to the real Live Wire Maurice A. Richmond.

The metaphorical use of 'live wire' likely emerged around the year 1900, and applied the words used in electrical circuitry to describe an energetic and unpredictable person.
