Since there has been some discussion of Chadwick today elsewhere on this site I thought I would try a catalogue ;D You will need to be gentle with me; it is only an attempt and this is not quite my period :) Still....it may be of some use to those who would like to know the range of Chadwick's works.

Brilliant - thanks, Colin. Not really my area either, although I've enjoyed everything I've heard by Chadwick (chiefly the Chandos and Reference discs): there is clearly much more to explore and it would be interesting to hear some of the vocal music ... but

isn't this the one that involves pushing pineapples and shaking a tree?
;D
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I believe some of Chawick's string quartets were available via a voxbox at one time. I never got round to purchasing it whcih is a pity.
Only the "Jubilee" titled movement of the Symphonic Sketches is on a (U.S. audience aimed) entertaining compilation titled "American Jubilee" (Kunzel, Cincinnati, Telarc).
The 4th string quartet (obviously outside the catalogue) was/is in a Vox set (three Lps I have; later two Cds) "The early string quartet in USA)".
I have a 1900 composition titled "Judith" which came to me on cassette as an oratorio, however IMSLP lists it as a lyric drama in three parts for soli, chorus and orchestra. For whatever that's worth.......

There's also a rather nice Piano Quintet in Eb from 1887 but I guess that's outside this discussion....
My sources certainly indicated that "Judith" was an opera/stage drama in three acts and produced as such :)
