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.

Teacher soloist chamber musician conductor and composer ? Flautist Eric Ledeuil a student of Patrick Gallois and Benoît Fromanger wears many hats. This diversity continually enriches his educational work as can be seen by the success of his flute method La flûte imaginative published by Leduc in two volumes (AL 30 365 and 30 367). Fête à Camelot a piece for Flute and Piano (or Harp) for fourth-year students reconnects with the Knights of the Round Table an imaginary world that has long been a source of musical inspiration for Ledeuil: the key figures of the legend appear in hisLes Méandres de Viviane (AL 30 495 Beginner) and Les Mystères de Brocéliande (AL 29 589 Intermediate). This work is set in King Arthur?s fortress: the great halls ring out with the sounds of joyful festivities interspersed with echoes of Viviane?s song. A Knight?s story of his quest for the Holy Grail is followed by the furtive appearance of Morgan le Fay but she gives way to the Lady of the Lake ? Viviane ? whose distant melody shrouds itself in melancholy tones. The work concludes with a fisel a traditional Breton dance that whips the troubadours? enchanted instruments into a frenzy.

Composed between 1920 and 1921 this set of Histoires is a suite of four short movements by Jacques Ibert selected out of the ten initial ones for Flute and Piano. This publication was commissioned by the Alphonse Leduc editors and increased Jacques Ibert’s popularity. This four pieces are as followed : 3. Le vieux mendiant (The old beggar) 4. “A Giddy girl” 6. Le palais abandonné (The abandoned palace) 7. Bajo la mesa (Under the table) The difficulty of these works will fit intermediate to upper intermediate players. Jacques Ibert(1890-1962) also composed many symphonic suites operas and seven orchestras including 'Angelique' (1926) and 'Entertainment' (1930). He also was in charge of the French Academy in the Villa Médicis (Roma) and became later administrator for the Paris Opera.

Contemporary Japanese composer Yuko Uebayashi moved to Paris in 1998. Uebayashi's works have been met with much success in both Japan and France Sonata for Flute and Piano being no exception. Flautist Jean Ferrandis described Uebayashi's works as 'gems that although they are so different they yet belong to the same world a world of vivacity dreams tenderness humour and one that is subtly contradicted by vehemence virtuosity melancholy and sorrow.' Sonata for Flute and Piano is made up of four movements with a typical performance lasting around 26 minutes. Sonata for Flute andPiano is modern in style exploiting tonality rhythm and the ensemble making this a sublime addition to the advanced repertoire of the instrument.

With Plenty To Chew On-Seven concert pieces including 'Carmina Banana' and other favourites!When I began putting together a few piano pieces back in 2007 I didn't imagine they would quickly spawn a thriving eleven-volume series entitled Eye-Tunes taking players from 'easy' to grade 8 level. Nor did I imagine these might trigger a further five volumes of arrangements for flute and piano two called Creature Comforts (which predictably enough are comprised of animal-inspired pieces) or indeed the three volumes in this current series Flute Pastilles. While it goes without saying that not all pieces conceived for piano will work equally well for the combination of flute andpiano I'm a great believer that a good tune is frequently one which will transcribe easily. I like to think of these cherry-picked arrangements concise though they are as being 'proper' pieces in that they can earn their keep beyond the confines of the practice room or flute lesson. From Book 1 you will find a sprinkling of more thoughtful pieces such as Wind over Goonhilly Forget-Me-Not and Follow the North Star to offset the more jaunty pieces. These in particular call for a little extra attention to tone colour dynamics and phrase-shaping with some awareness of what the piano part is doing too. Think hard about choosing your tempo for each piece as this is a major contributor to musical character and in the faster moving music aim to articulate the rhythms as crisply as you can so that the music can really spring off the page and come to life for your audience.I must acknowledge as before the inestimable contribution to the success of these pieces made by Gillian Poznansky whose suggestions over the appearance of the scores has made such a difference to how the music is likely to be played. She also came up with a fair number of the titles to these pieces and has done them further service by performing them with me to great aplomb on innumerable occasions in far-flung corners of the globe.

Greek Interlude for flute and piano was composed in July this year. The music which was written with young players in mind is based on ancient Byzantine modes and Greek folk music originating from different Greek islands. The piece may be thought of as a musical voyage starting in Bulgaria travelling to Greek islands and then returning through Bulgaria. Commissioned by the Little Missenden festival 1979.This is a special item which is made to order. Please e-mail our Mail Order Department for further information.
