Recordings

September 21st, 2009

Here are some recordings of Flutes & Co in action for you to download & listen to at your leisure… (see below for help on how to listen to them)

Have a look at a more comprehensive list of the sort of music we play at our concerts on our Repertoire page.

Cossack Ride, (arr. Robin Soldan)
One of our favourites at Christmas, maybe not for the bass flute player who ends the piece though…!

Nola, by Felix Arndt
Sounds just like a pianola roll – incessant and juke box-like!

Blue Train, by Ryohei Hirose
A night-time train journey starting with a double helping of piccolo as the train whistle! From our 2nd CD.

Rhythm of Life, by Cy Coleman (arr. de Lozey)
Well-known foot tapping feelgood piece from the Broadway musical ‘Sweet Charity’. From our 2nd CD.

Dawn Carol, by Margaret Lowe
A favourite of ours and very effective. A fanfare of flutes working in canon…from our 2nd CD.

Brandenburg Concerto, by J S Bach (arr. A.L.Wyver)
1st movement of 2nd Concerto, with piccolo taking solo trumpet part. Can you tell this is the only piece that doesn’t have a conductor? From our 2nd CD.

Air on a G string, by J S Bach (arr. J. Christensen)
A rare Hamlet moment…….from our 2nd CD.

Dance of the Hours, by Ponchielli (arr. Shaul Ben-Muir)
This well-known piece is great fun to listen to - makes you want to dance……!

Miss Ladybug, by Kathleen Mayne
One of 7 animals from a suite of pieces – a very regal  stately dance.

Saltarello, by Mendelssohn (arr. Shaul Ben-Muir)
From his Italian Symphony. A highly spirited romantic movement with all the tendency of romance to vanish round the corner!

We Be Beboppin’, by Sonny Burnette
1st flute and piccolo get to do some improvising but watch out for top Bflat in the piccolo part!

In Remembrance, by Buryl Red (arr. N. Kile)
Originally written for voices this works beautifully for concert flutes and piano.
