NEW MUSIC EDITIONS
JANUARY 2024
Three new works for accomplished pianists who enjoy
performing new music
Sortie for piano is our first publication by Australian
composer Cyrus Meurant. Meurant is an enterprising
young composer whose works have been performed
throughout Australia and further afield. His music has
been described as evocative, hypnotic, deeply rich
and hauntingly beautiful. Sortie (PE204) resonates with
anticipation and hope, reflecting the human spirit’s
resilience. Meurant’s masterful restraint and skilful
layering of simple ostinati creates an ever-evolving and
building sonic landscape.
We have also released Matthew Hindson’s Mechanically
Speaking (PE046) as a standalone edition. First published
in Firestarters 2 (PE069) in 2006, Mechanically Speaking
is a rare piano work from the prominent Australian
composer’s catalogue. It was composed with an image
of interlocking pieces of machinery in mind – the
composer imagined an industrial workplace with gears
cranking and cogs turning.
We are also pleased to release the long awaited second
volume of Vincent Ho’s Supervillain Études (PE215).
This volume includes études 4–6 including C4twoman,
Poi5on Ivy, and J6ker. These Supervillain Études take
gestural cues from choreography while maintaining
the profiles and personalities of the aforementioned
supervillains, forming a compellingly moody, exciting,
and villainous set of works.
All three works are perfect for more accomplished
pianists who enjoy performing new works from living
composers.
New arrangement of Vaughan Williams’ incidental
music for Richard II available
This new adaption and arrangement of Richard II –
Incidental music for a radio production of William
Shakespeare’s play brings Vaughan Williams’s music
alive to a new audience. Richard II: A Concert Fantasy
(PEV04S) masterfully stitches together the majority of
the original 34 incidental music cues into a 17-minute
suite for concert performance.

New Zealand NZ$69 (incl. GST) • North America US$34
Vincent Ho’s Supervillain Études fixate on six supervillains from comic book culture. Ho
found that each of these villains are extreme expressions of psychological disorders and
decided to dive into their psychological profiles collaborating with choreographers to see
their takes on animating each of the profiles. The Supervillain Études take gestural cues from
choreography while maintaining the profiles and personalities of the aforementioned supervillains,
forming a compellingly moody, exciting, and villainous set of works. This volume
contains three études: C4twoman, Poi5on Ivy, and J6ker.

Mechanically Speaking was composed with an image of interlocking pieces of machinery in
mind – the composer imagined an industrial workplace with gears cranking and cogs turning.
The opening of the work, particularly, sets this mood although there are many twists
and turns throughout the piece. There is one particular motive that returns throughout the
composition in many different guises. A perfect piece for the advanced student performer
wishing to expand their repertoire of Australian classics.

Written during a time of global uncertainty, Sortie resonates with anticipation and hope,
reflecting the human spirit’s resilience. Meurant’s masterful restraint and skilful layering of
simple ostinati creates an ever-evolving and building sonic landscape. The music steadily
expands with overlapping rhythmic movement and subtle dynamic shifts, keeping the listener’s
ear engaged throughout. Suitable for pianists of all levels looking for a challenging
and rewarding work.

THE
VAUGHAN
WILLIAMS
COLLECTION
The Vaughan Williams Collection brings together a series of newly-edited
editions of his incidental music published by Promethean Editions.
Recognised as one of the major musical figures of his time, Ralph Vaughan
This new adaption and arrangement of Richard II – Incidental music for a radio Williams began his career production
as a folk song collector, music editor of The English
Hymnal and founding conductor of the Leith Hill Festival, and went on to
generate a vast musical output that includes song settings, symphonies,
chamber music, opera and choral music.
of William Shakespeare’s play brings Vaughan Williams’s music alive to a new ... audience.
Although the composer prepared an extensive score – having written approximately 25
minutes of original music scored for an orchestra with a full complement of brass and percussion
– the BBC radio production never materialised. Richard II: A Concert Fantasy masterfully
stitches together the majority of the original 34 incidental music cues into a 17-minute
suite for concert performance.
