Duettino by Lynne Williams for Flute and Alto Saxophone Duet

Solo Flute, flute, alto flute, bass flute The first of Mozart's flute quartets, arranged with flutes taking the string parts. Once again, the flute part has been left unchanged meaning no extra learning for players who already know this piece. In three movements; an initial allegro, a slow lyrical middle movement allowing the soloist to sing out, and a final romp of a Rondo. A good chance for new players to get to know this fabulous piece of music.

Mask is full blooded concert piece for flute and piano by Vincenzo Sorrentino. The piano part ripples away while the flute soars and flies over the top. With fast, complex rhythms and wide-ranging rich harmonies, this piece shimmers like a jewel in the sun. Reaching the dizzy heights of top C, this is one for the serious player.

Flute Ensemble - Piccolo, 4 flutes, Alto flute, Bass flute. Settimeno is a slightly smaller scale flute choir piece by Vincenzo Sorrentino. In his trademark style, multiple ostinati in the lower parts support long flowing tunes in the upper parts, often with modal harmonies. Later on, the syncopations start to appear adding excitement and drive. Finishing with a flourish, a great piece for a smaller ensemble.

Flute Ensemble - Piccolo, 6 flutes, 2 Alto flutes, Bass flute. Fluten II is a companion piece to Fluten, using the same instrumental line up. A fast, syncopated rhythm drives this piece along, appearing in almost every bar. Around this pedal rhythm, two other themes wind and merge, this time based around a triplet pattern. A couple of big climaxes and then the piece fades away to nothing. Again, this piece is already well established on the concert platform.

Flute Ensemble - Piccolo, 6 flutes, 2 Alto flutes, Bass flute. Fluten is a large scale flute choir piece by Vincenzo Sorrentino. A slow introduction leads into a the main, faster section. With it's ostinati and overlapping entries of the main theme this almost has an oriental feeling in places. Later on, overlapping entries of the main theme in increasingly fast rhythms give an impression of church bells pealing out. Using a wide range of keys but not excessively difficult, players from grade 4 upwards should be able to approach this piece succesfully.

A suite of 4 character pieces for alto flute and piano. Each movement lives up to it's title: 'Flight' explores the full range of the instrument with nimble fingers required for the many semiquaver runs. 'Plaintive' is mournful and melancholic, whilst 'Edgewise' explores the rhythmic possibilities of a 5/4 time signature. The last movement ' Radiance' has an improvisatory feel to it. All with the characteristic lush harmonies that are winning Phil more and more fans all the time. A great addition to the alto flute concert repertoire.

Inno for Joueurs, scored for Piccolo, 5 flutes, 2 alto flutes, 2 basses, optional parts for contr'alto, contrabass in C, Contrabass in G, subcontrabass in C. A thrilling piece full of excitement for the full flute choir. Rushing along at breakneck speed and with the most exciting of syncopations, this is a great addition to the concert platform, and is already proving to be very popular. Requiring accurate, fast tonguing and nimble fingers, one for the more advanced group.

Across The Moon II, scored for Flute Quartet - four concert flutes. Flowing lower parts support two melodic upper parts that float serenely above them, with some almost oriental touches to the harmony. Alternating between D minor and A major, flute 1 soars up to top B flat while the two lower parts have frequent low C's and C sharps. A nice concert item for players of grade 4-6 standard.

A four movement suite for large flute choir. Scored for Piccolo, optional G treble, 4 flutes, alto flute, bass flute, optional contr'alto, optional contrabass, optional subcontrabass. The first movement is a lively Presto, with passages reminiscent of English folk music, impressive fanfares and baroque style passage work. This is followed by a slower more wistful movement with rich chromatic harmonies. The third movement is slower again, with a florid piccolo solo in the central section accompanied by flowing semiquavers in all parts. The final movement is marked 'Dolente' and features rich jazz harmonies in slow tempo. This is a great piece for large flute choirs to include in their repertoire; the inclusion of the largest members of the flute family gives a depth and richness to the chords that is in credible. Suitable for players of Grade 4 upwards.
