2 premieres kick off the first recital of 2009, our 8th. season at St. Mary's.

'Maestoso Spiritoso' is a joyous new 10 minute work by Salvation Army composer Terry Treherne, in two contrasting main sections.

'Musing' by Joe Miserendino (USA) is a shorter 3 min piece that's quite thought provoking in mood. There's a central waltz section with a brief reference to 'As Time Goes By' before the opening mood section returns with a coda.

The Godard (correct spelling) 'Berceuse de Jocelyn' is a beautiful piece and this arrangement is from the composer's piano original, not the trombone solo arr. by Eric Ball (although that's a fine adaptation).

It's a tone higher and only the chorus repeats, not the verse, (so it does not go back to the begining). There are extended closing bars too.
