The American imagist poet Amy Lowell (1874-1925) provided both the title and the substance for this brief descriptive work in her poem Night Clouds. I had been commissioned by the flute/harp duo Chaski to write a piece that had a different sound than most flute and harp pieces. The image of these elusive beasts cavorting through the night, before the appearance of the tiger sun, seemed to me perfectly suited for the flute and harp and would give me the chance to write a work for that combination that did NOT have overtones of nymphs and shepherds. I wanted to make much use of the harp's more violent sounds (beating the strings and the soundboard, for instance) as well as its unusual and idiomatic effects, such as pedal glissandi. For the flute, there are jet-whistle effects, extremes of register, pitch-bending and other decidedly non-pastoral gestures. The work was composed in 1986. --Dan Welcher.

Mozart wrote the beautiful Concerto for Flute and Harp K.299 for the Duc de Guines and his talented daughter, despite being not particularly fond of either the flute or the harp!This Andante has been adapted [and a cadenza added] for performance without orchestra, and all editorial markings are specifically for harpists.However, the part may be easily performed on the piano by ignoring the editorial markings and adding some discreet pedalling wherever appropriate.

The first of the Two Pieces for flute and harp or piano accompaniment, ââ¬Å1. The swansââ¬Â? is a lovely short piece composed by Henri Busser. Really melodious, this piece is perfect to work on the flexibility of the tone and a good training to be able execute pieces more difficult. Written mainly in A key, not often used by flutists, and starting Andantino moderato, the piece symbolizes the swans, riding on a lake. It features an intro, a main theme in [A] which comes back A tempo in [C] and a final Piú moderato, finishing with a really high trill. Some difficulties, such as the A key and the range used on this piece will require an intermediate technique: difficulty is rated at 5. This first piece is followed by the second one: ââ¬Å?The squirrels.ââ¬Â Henri Busser (1872-1913) is a French classical composer and organist. He was a professor at the Paris Conservatoire and a member of the Académie française. He wrote a ballet, numerous operas and chamber music.

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 of the 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 first performed 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.
