Fand is proud to round off 2020 by introducing the music of Gordon Jacob (1895–1984) to the catalogue. His Four Bagatelles for Two Violins were composed in 1961 as a Christmas gift for his violinist friend, David Martin. They are published here for the first time, and benefit from a recent recording made by Midori Komachi and Sophie Rosa on the EM Records label.
E. J. Moeran’s Whythorne’s Shadow, composed in 1931, is a piece for small orchestra based on an Elizabethan part-song (1571) by Thomas Whythorne. By way of commemorating the seventieth anniversary of Moeran’s death in December 1950, John Mitchell has arranged this delightful work as an attractive piano solo. It complements John’s other transcription of another small orchestral composition of Moeran’s: the companion piece, Lonely Waters (also available from Fand).
