Duo for Flute and Bassoon

Successful French composer Pierre Gabaye (1930-2000) studied at the Paris Conservatoire where he won the 1956 Prix de Rome. His competence is proved by his Sonatina for Flute and Bassoon. Gabaye's compositional style has been described as following the French neo-classical tradition such as the music of Poulenc. Sonatina for Flute and Bassoon exemplifies the composer's light-hearted music. A typical performance of the duet lasts about 10 minutes and 40 seconds and comprises three movements. For all advanced flautists and bassoonists seeking alternative ensemble performance repertoire Gabaye's Sonatina for Flute and Bassoon is ideal.

Strathclyde Concerto No. 6 (Flute Part)-The solo flute here is kept in high profile by the absence from the orchestra not only of other flutes but also of violins and oboes; in addition the trumpets are used sparingly (they do not for instance play in the slowmovement) so that for much of the time the flute is playing against a mellow ensemble of clarinets horns bassoons and low strings. If this is nevertheless one of Davies's most open-spirited pieces that comes partly from theready flights of the soloist partly from its glockenspiel accompaniments in the outer movements (replaced by ticking claves in the Adagio) partly from the dancing character of so much of the music and partly from the harmonicclarity in a light region not far from C minor.Flute part with piano reduction of the orchestral score.

Timeless Cornish Melodies Cooked Up For Hungry Brass Players-As I sit myself down to write this brief foreword I ask myself can there be music more stirring than these old Cornish folk melodies? Though not Cornish myself (I confess to being born a little further up the road in Bristol) I feel I have spent sufficient time in these 'ere parts to resonate with the sturdy brass band tradition that continues to permeate this incomparably beautiful rugged county. One can almost detect a French 'accent' when listening to the piano music of Debussy and likewise speaking as a lapsed brass player there is undoubtedly something of the Cornish twang about Trelawny when played on a cornet or euphonium. Then again one gets a different yet entirely convincing effect upon hearing these melodies rendered on woodwind instruments; hence with a little gamesmanship on my part I am pleased to see my collection of these fifteen delectable ditties come to fruition in the form of arrangements for treble clef brass instruments (in B flat and E flat) trombone and tuba (bass clef) horn in F flute clarinet and bassoon.While many will find themselves humming the likes of Going up Camborne Hill Lamorna or The Helston Furry Dance even before they have turned to the first page - for these are indelibly intertwined with Cornish culture - I wonder if I might draw your attention to The Cornish Squire The Pool of Pilate and Cold Blows the Wind Today Sweetheart which are quite simply sublime melodies perhaps needing that extra bit of help in bringing them to mind nowadays. In the best tradition of musical hand-me-downs Cornish folk music works equally ideally sung and played and only by doing so on a regular basis can such traditions hope to continue forward with vigour and authority. A legitimate way of achieving this is to revitalise the harmonic scheme of these ancient tunes and bring them up to date for a modern audience; after all it was such an approach that fuelled the imagination of Benjamin Britten and Ralph Vaughan Williams in decades past while skilfully paying homage to the

Andalag # 1 - Duo for Flute and Clarinet (2011). Part of Andalag - Suite in 11 movements. Programme note Some years ago I was asked by the Faroese ensemble Aldubáran to compose duets for the woodwinds within the ensemble. The idea then came to me to write a Suite with the name “Andalag” in 11 movements. 8 movements are duets and are approximately 4 min. long. 2 movements are quartets and are approximately 8 min. long and 1 movement is an octet which is approximately 16 min. long. In other words the Suite will last approximately 60 min.   The (octet) instrumentation is2 flutes 2 clarinets 2 horns and 2 bassoons. The Faroese word “andalag” has a multilayerd meaning. The first half of the word is “anda” and means to breath or spirit and the second half of the word “lag” means melodi mood or layer. I use two small ideas in this Suite. One idea is in a sort of major mood and the other in a sort of minor mood. Sunleif Rasmussen May 2013

Janá ek composed his Suite forwind instruments Mlád (in English youth) in 1924 so when he was over 70. Numerous sources still survive for this work making it difficult to establish the definitive musical text. For our Urtext edition acooperation with Universal Edition Wien Ji Zahrádka from the Janá ek-Archiv in Brno succeeded in brilliantly surmounting this difficulty: he consults all of the handwritten sources for the edition for the first time and isthus able to give exact instructions for instance regarding the numerous tempo variants.

French composer Pierre Max Dubois (1930-1995) significantly contributed to the wind repertoire. Sinfonia Da Camera for Wind Sextet was published in 1965 and remains prominent in the ensemble repertoire. Dubois' music is characteristically light-hearted with unusual harmonic and melodic textures. Sinfonia Da Camera for Flute Oboe Clarinet Saxophone Horn and Bassoon reflects Dubois' compositional characteristics and is made up of three movements; 1) Entrance 2) Gigue and 3) Variations. Sinfonia Da Camera is essential to the advanced Wind Sextet repertoire. Dubois'work makes for an exciting varied and enjoyable performance for players and audiences alike.
