This is an interesting book which will introduce intermediate players to a wide variety of musical styles. Arrangements of classic tunes and new pieces by contemporary composers is a very appealing mix and the progressive nature of the book ensures that it will have a long life. Highlights are the three Crispin pieces by Elena Kats-Chernin that are full of character and sure to please younger players, a sparkling version of Engelmann's Halloween Dance, Danza del Anhelo by Sally Greenway which is full of yearning, and the unmistakeable sound of Gary Schocker in Fable. The whole book is good though and something just that little bit different. Lovely!
