In the 1990s, Donald Fraser scored a hit with his orchestral arrangement of Marin Marais baroque classic The Bells of Genevieve which reached the Top 5 of Billboards Classical Chart and remains a radio evergreen to this day. Numerous commissions for arrangements followed for musicians such as The Kings Singers, Yehudi Menuhim and the English Chamber Orchestra. In 2016, AVIE released Dons large-scale orchestration of Edward Elgars Piano Quintet and choral version of Sea Pictures, which charted in the Top 10 of the UK Specialist Classical Chart. Don now returns to the art of arranging smaller scale, classic works by John Dowland, Henry Purcell, Antonio Vivaldi and others, including new versions of his own Amen from A Christmas Symphony which was written for and premiered by soprano Jessye Norman, a new remix of The Bells of St. Genevieve and orchestrations of four Elgar art songs that evoke the albums title, Songs for Strings.
