The term "Romance" is often used as a title for short, melodic pieces that are emotional in style and generally in the character of a song. The two pieces entitled "Romance" on this recording are good examples, but the term also has a relevance to many of the other works. A number of the pieces were originally composed as songs, or have choral or vocal connections, and the violin writing is often of a highly expressive and emotional nature. The organ is a most rewarding partner, being varied and colourful, and able to support the sustaining nature of a stringed instrument.
