Higginson: Three Ben Jonson Songs

In August 1995, Gary Higginson wrote Three Ben Jonson Songs for tenor and piano, mostly for himself to sing in various concerts that he was giving at the time. Fand published them soon after. But now, with a new CD of his works due to be recorded later in 2018, containing songs and solo flute music, he felt he wanted these songs to be sung by a baritone whilst also hoping that a new transposition would open them up to a wider range of voices. Fand is delighted to issue this new baritone edition whilst still stocking the original version for tenor.

At the same time, we publish Two Pieces for Solo Flute by Gary Higginson. The first of them, Landscape, although down as Opus 62, was partly composed whilst Gary was still at school. It was enlarged and revised many years later and a new piece was composed to go with it, Sweet Song of the Summer Woods. Both pieces were initially performed by Gary in various concerts in the 1970s and ’80s.

Also new to the Fand catalogue this spring comes a pair of little pieces for piano solo: Two Wildflowers by Peter Thompson, written whilst scoring his recently completed Fourth Symphony.
