Handel, George Frideric
A clever arrangement of the overture to Handel's masque Acis and Galatea from the talented pen of Carlo Martelli. The joke title is inspired by the composers famous Arrival of said Queen.

Handel, George Frideric
A slightly eccentric and unidiomatic arrangement of this popular piece, the distribution of the parts being somewhat unusual. Notwithstanding, it has proved to be one of the most demanded of all Carlo Martelli's many arrangements.

These ten short movements of the ever popular Water Music have been attractively arranged, by Eileen Clews, into three suites for three flutes to give interest to each player. The suites are in F, D and G and the various movements, which include bourees, menuets, hornpipes and airs, give a variety of tempo and rhythm to make these suites excellent teaching material and delightful concert pieces. They are ideal for three solo flutes or for a flute choir. Each movement can stand alone and can be used to practise and encourage ensemble playing. For schools, teaching studios and professionals.

Each instrument has a turn with the tune, so this arrangement by Roy Thackray is helpful in learning to recognise the sound of the instruments, both together and separately.

This piece takes its title of Lyric Suite from that by Edvard Grieg, a composer much admired by the arranger. There is no attempt to imitate his style, but Grieg said that he wanted to make houses for people to live in rather than build cathedrals, and that is very much the thought behind these pieces.

This arrangement by Carlo Martelli, of one of Gershwin's early songs, perfectly captures the spirit of mid 1920's America and the atmosphere of the then popular speakeasies. The skilful use of the string quartet medium achieves a richness and complexity unequalled by other arrangers in this genre.

This is one of the most elaborate and complex of Carlo Martelli's string quartet arrangements. Martelli's approach is to use the original material of the song as the basis for a quasi symphonic musical discourse. The skilful use of the string quartet medium achieves a richness and complexity unequalled by other arrangers in this genre. The Pavão Quartet recorded this piece on the CD Someone To Watch Over Me, released in 2006 by Landor Records LAN 277. On the same CD are four more of Martelli’s Gershwin arrangements also published by Broadbent & Dunn. **** Not for sale in the USA ****

In a lovely arrangement by Bill Thorp, this ever popular piece forms part of a group of Edward Elgar's much-loved salon pieces, that are as fresh and exquisite as when first conceived over a century ago. The wistful Salut d'Amour nostalgically evokes the (appropriately) Edwardian golden age, and will be ever-popular because it is so beautifully written.
