Two dances for flute and harp from Peter Maxwell Davies' ballet Caroline Mathilde.A new instrumentation restores this linked pair of dances from Davies's second full-length ballet Caroline Mathilde based on the story ofthe eighteenth-century British princess sent in marriage to Denmark to the eighteenth-century milieu of the work's setting and musical world. The period manners - a gavotte in the first dance a gigue at the start of the second -are typically overlaid with the composer's Scottishness. In general the harp has an accompanying role but it comes forward alone in the second movement which ends with bravura from both instruments.These two dances were firstperformed in September 1993 at the Northlands Festival by David Nicholson and Eluned Pierce.Score and flute part. Duration c. 5mins.Harp part edited by Elune Pierce.

Harp 3-CD Play-Along-Performed by Desislave Nikolova harp Accompaniment: Marcelo Ehrlich flute; Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor: Nayden Todorov Mozart's well-known concerto for flute and harp is a beautiful and masterfully written combination of two instruments that require extreme delicacy in combination and against an orchestral backdrop. Mozart composed it in Paris for a French Count and his daughter and it has a distinctly French style with a magically interwoven fabric of sound which utilizes both instruments to their fullest. It was the only time Mozart would write for the harp. C'est magnifique! Includes printed score for solo harp printed on high-quality ivorypaper with informative liner notes and voluminously indexed for ease of practice and performance and two compact discs with three versions of the concerto: a) complete with flute and harp; b) minus harp; c) minus flute and harp (for 2 players); and d) -20% slow-tempo practice version minus harp.
