for Flute Choir. Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. The Symphony No. 2 of Johannes Brahms was composed in 1877, premiered in December of that year. The Allegretto grazioso (3rd movement), arranged here for flute choir, is reminiscent of the Slavonic Dances of Antonin Dvorak. The flute orchestra version is arranged for six C flute parts, two alto flutes, two bass flutes and a contrabass flute. Increasing the number of players in each section will give added depth to the full and rich sound of this arrangement. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Flûtes

Par LEMMENS JACQUES-NICOLAS. Fanfare by Belgian composer Jacques-Nicolas Lemmens, arranged for Flute Choir by Matt Johnston. Jacques-Nicolas Lemmens (1823?1881) is a composer unfamiliar to most, unless you happen to be either an organist, or a Belgian (or a Belgian organist!). At the age of 26, he was appointed organ teacher at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels with two of his most accomplished students being Alexandre Guilmant and Charles-Marie Widor. In 1879 he founded a school for church music in Mechelen, Belgium, which would later bear his name upon moving to Leuven in 1968. The Lemmensinstituut has since broadened its curriculum beyond church music and is a prominent, award-winning music conservatory. This Fanfare of Lemmens is an organ piece popular to play as a postlude or as a wedding recessional. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Flûtes

Par BACRI NICOLAS. Trois rêveries opus 111 n°2 propose trois exercices de style (Debussy, Ireland et Grieg) et Petite suite opus 111 n°3 est composée de cinq brefs morceaux dont les quatre premiers existent pour piano seul aux éditions Billaudot ; le cinquième, Humoresque, fut ajouté en 2015 à la demande de Frédéric Chatoux, directeur de la collection consacrée à la flûte, pour clore le cycle, de façon espiègle en rendant hommage aux facéties des chats que j?avais adoptés lorsque je vécus à la campagne, dans le Brabant Wallon. Toutes ces pièces forment un tout cher à mon c?ur, car elles illustrent les premiers pas déjà très assurés dans l?écriture tonale et modale pour un compositeur de quinze-seize ans. Elles font déjà une place au lyrisme et au contrepoint de manière assez exigeante et je les ai remises de nombreuses fois sur le métier afin d?en affiner le plus possible l?écriture. Je suis heureux et honoré que la première de ma Petite Suite ait eu lieu à Bangkok par deux musiciens professionnels. C?est la première fois qu?une création mondiale de ma musique a lieu dans ce pays, qui, comme tous les pays d?Asie, semble se polariser de plus en plus sur la musique classique occidentale.

Par KUHLAU FRIEDRICH. A set of variations on The Last Rose of Summer by Friedrich Kuhlau, arranged for flute quartet by Cassie Lear. Kuhlau first composed this work for flute and piano in 1829.

Par MAGALIF EUGENE. Ave Maria for Flute Choir by Eugene Magalif. From the composer: 'The creation of a new Ave Maria requires a certain amount of courage from composers. There are many versions of Ave Maria in the world and it is very risky to compete with Schubert, Bach or Caccini (Vavilov). I did not begin to compose another aria, but composed a polyphonic version, in which the intertwining voices, harmony, unusual rhythm changes and a wide palette of shades play the main role. My Ave Maria turned out to be very unusual, but if you follow my instructions of tempo, dynamic shades, perform it very gently and without forcing the sound, then the piece will show its beauty.' / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Flûtes

Par GERMAN EDWARD. Three Dances from Henry VIII for Flute Choir, by Edward German, arranged for flute choir by Paige Dashner Long. Edward German composed Three Dances from Henry VIII as incidental music to be performed during Henry Irving?s version of Henry VIII at the Lyceum Theater in London.

German incorporates three different types of olde English dances: Morris Dance; Shepherds? Dance; Torch Dance. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Flûtes
