With a huge range of repertoire existing for the Flute Italian composer Alfredo Casella's Sicilienne et Burlesque stands out as an extremely evocative and inspiring piece composed notably as WWI broke out across Europe. Having studied at the Paris Conservatoire from 1896 under the direction of Gabriel Fauré >i>Casella received an exceedingly high standard of education. His clear compositional ability and understanding of the Flute is portrayed in his Sicilienne et Burlesque through the use of advanced Flute techniques and brilliant ensemble devices exploiting the duet between Flute and Piano. TheSicilienne is in a slow compound time significantly contrasted by the light and comedic Burlesque. These aspects combine to create an enjoyable and challenging piece for advanced flautists.

Philippe Gaubert (1879-1941) was a distinguished performer on the Flute. It comes as no surprise therefore that his compositions for the instrument are at the forefront of the Flute's repertoire Sicilienne being no exception. After a prominent career as a flautist with the Paris Opéra he was appointed as professor of Flute at the Paris Conservatoire as well as principal conductor of leading orchestras. It was during this time that Gaubert composed including his Sicilienne which was published in 1914. Addressing many technical features including flourishing semiquaver passages awide range changing time signatures chromaticism a variety in dynamics and dotted rhythms Sicilienne is a pleasantly inspiring piece for aspiring flautists.

Between the late 19th century and the early 1960s French music experienced a Golden Age during which the flute played a prominent role: this age-old instrument played by fauns and shepherds spun numerous arabesques whose sensuous contours seemed to celebrate ?the mysterious connections between nature and the imagination? (Debussy). It was therefore quite tempting to draw on the rich catalogue of French works from the Editions Leduc and Heugel and put together this collection of pieces for flautists in the fourth year of study and up. It?s simply impossible to resist the compelling lyricism that floats up from such celebrated pages asFauré?s Sicilienne or the Pièce en forme de Habanera a composition by Ravel superbly transcribed by Theodore Doney. Philippe Gaubert?s Orientale and Sicilienne ? two bestsellers ? are also included. Original pieces such as the Aria for flute and piano by Roussel rub shoulders with delightful arrangements such as the one by Marcel Moyse based on Jacques Ibert?s gentle Histoires or the successful adaptation of Hahn?s À Chloris; while famous pieces ? like Debussy?s Le Petit Nègre ? nestle against a few rare gems (Pierné Bozza) that are utterly charming.
