Philip Martin's piano trio, Serendipity, was inspired by paintings in the Crawford Gallery, Cork, the home of the Crawford Piano Trio for whom he wrote it. Also on this disk are Martin's Two Elegies for Violin and Piano; Songs for the Four Parts of the Night; Light Music and The Rainbow Comes and Goes.

This CD features C. S. L. Parker's programmatic work Lumen: The Walk to Poolbeg Lighthouse performed by the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra, with works by six other contemporary composers.

In 1988 Roger Doyle was asked to compose the music for the Gate Theatre's production of Oscar Wilde's Salomé. On the opening night much of the music was improvised but through the years and after many performances the music has become more fixed. Performed by the composer, the music on this recording has undergone small changes so that it can exist independently to the theatre production.

Siobhán Cleary's Threads and C. S. L. Parker's Sinfonietta are performed by the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Jiri Mikula. This CD also includes works by five other contemporary composers.
