metal inflection in this incredibly innovative
and unique work for strings. The cello section
imitates distorted guitar timbres, while upper
strings soar over pulsating rhythms. This piece
proves that guitars and drums are not required
to rock heavy metal!

Palladio—Karl Jenkins. This is the enchanting
music used in the De Beers "Diamonds"
commercial! Subtitled Concerto Grosso, it
consists of three separate movements, each
eminently attractive and using some "minimalist"
techniques. Not an arrangement, this is the

St. Mark's Suite—Martin Ellerby. This five-
movement suite takes its inspiration from
associations with St. Mark's Church, Dunham
Massey, Cheshire, in the United Kingdom.

compositions remained unpublished, Mayer's
works were acclaimed in Germany; she toured
frequently, performing her music during her
lifetime. This stormy final movement from her
second symphony reveals Mayer's bold and
confident style. This arrangement for string
orchestra and timpani was painstakingly drawn
from the handwritten score, offering a profound
opportunity to experience the music of this
incredible composer for the first time.
