| 12001 | AFA2A002-FDAA-4C0E-BA3F-1DB98E04886E | SU304 | Sortie | Originally written for organ by little known child prodigy Lefebure-Wely (b. 1817). This work is an oustanding example of his imagination and abilities as an improvisor, written to be played at the end of a church service. | Flute Quintet | |
| 12002 | AFA2A805-31EA-4FA6-95BE-229D807C0574 | A233502 | Samson and Delilah, Op. 47 (Samson et Dalila) | Camille Saint-Saëns' (1835-1921) opera SAMSON ET DALILA, Op. 47 tells the biblical story of Delilah's betrayal of Samson. Originally conceived as an oratorio due to Saint-Saëns’ admiration of such works by Handel and Mendelssohn, it was converted to an opera when the composer was convinced by a family member to abandon the less-used oratorio, designed to stage works with biblical themes, in favor of the more common and contemporary secular form. While composition began in 1867, consistent rejection by the French music world of any biblical stories used as a libretto caused numerous delays and spurts of abandonment of the project by the Saint-Saëns. And when the work was completed in 1876, the 1877 premiere in Weimar was only able to take place due to the support of Franz Liszt. Further interest around the world, including France, finally started to grow in the 1890s, leaving SAMSON AND DELILAH Saint-Saëns most performed opera today.

| 12003 | AFA3BD2C-14EB-4554-AC1E-33E7CE9CB034 | A141702 | Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95/B. 178 (From the New World) | Popularly know as the “New World Symphony,” Antonín Dvo?ák’s Symphony No. 9 in E minor was composed in 1893 while he was the director of the National Conservatory of Music of America. A major part of the orchestral repertoire, this symphony’s melodic material was influenced by the music of Native Americans and African-American spirituals he heard during his tenure in North America, while his sense of America’s “wide open spaces” after a visit to Iowa’s prairies also inspired the feeling of the work.

MacInnis attended Princeton University, completing his music degree as an undergraduate in 1948 and a masters in 1950. His studies were interrupted by World War II, during which he served with the 13th Armored Division of the United States Army, seeing combat in Germany. While at Princeton, he was musically active, directing the band and managing the Princeton Glee Club. He studied composition and theory with Milton Babbitt, Edward Cone, Joseph Kerman, Bohuslav Martinu, Roger Sessions and Randall Thompson, and conducting with Leonard Bernstein at Tanglewood. MacInnis was elected as an instructor in the faculty of music of the University of Virginia in 1950. He was granted a leave of absence in 1968 to serve as composer in residence with Robert Shaw and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. As an instructor, he conducted the University of Virginia Band; later, he was tapped as acting department head in 1955. As a composer, MacInnis employed early electronic music techniques, including computer-synthesized music and tape loops, such as his Quadrilith 1 for computer synthesized tape.

PINAFORE; or, The Lass That Loved a Sailor is a comic two-act opera and the fourth opera collaboration between composer Arthur Sullivan and librettist W. S. Gilbert. Lampooning British social class, the Royal Navy, and unqualified people who rise to positions of authority, the work became an international sensation following the London premiere at the Opera Comique on May 25, 1878, becoming the second-longest running musical theater work up until that time. This new edition has been completed by Carl Simpson and Ephraim Hammett Jones. Vocal score. | Vocal soli (9 roles, SAATTBBBB): Chorus; Keyboard or Orchestra accompaniment | |

| 12012 | AFC3A9A6-F4EF-405D-A257-C3D46C4CB982 | SU414 | Suite After Old English Songs for Horn | The Suite was originally commissioned by Roger Rush as a solo vehicle for English Horn and band after he experienced difficulty finding suitable repertoire for this combination. The successful 1996 premiere led to the composer making additional versions of the solo part for F horn and alto saxophone, with piano reductions for all three instruments and an arrangement with string orchestra accompaniment. The work is comprised of four movements, each based on a combination of English folk melodies: I. Early One Morning, II. Green Bushes, III. I'll Love My Love, IV. The Wraggle-Taggle Gypsies. Duration ca. 20'. | Horn, Piano | |

The style of composition used in this movement lends itself well to clarinets with little or no change to the original score. The ebullient mood of the music will amply reward both the performer and the listener. This is arranged for mixed clarinet quartet or three Bb clarinets and bass clarinet. | Clarinet Quartet | |

| 12018 | AFE63EFA-6756-4A0D-82CF-BA1C7008A435 | BSMIS107 | Excursions for Trumpet and Piano | The Bruce Broughton Solo Series features solos by one of the country's most outstanding composers of concert and film music. This new series by seven-time Emmy award winning composer features music that is notable for its wonderfully rich harmonies, flowing melodies and rhythmic vitality. These pieces are ideal for recitals and contests and are great teaching pieces that are appealing to performers and audiences alike. The demanding trumpet work EXCURSIONS, originally written with band accompaniment on a commission by the United States Air Force Band (and recorded by that band on the album, "Excursions") is here offered for solo trumpet with piano accompaniment. In the aptly named work, Mr. Broughton explores the diverse technical and expressive capabilities of the trumpet, with the angular melodies and driving rhythms that characterize the piece used by the solo trumpet to lead the accompaniment. | Trumpet, Piano | |
