Thomas Moore (17791852) was an Irish poet, singer, songwriter and entertainer. In his poem, On Music, Moore emphasizes the power that music has in our lives and the ability it has to evoke memories and feelings from the past. Music transcends that which can be spoken or felt. The beauty of making music together is to establish meaningful connections with others and to share a common language through song. We are reminded, however, that relationships with each other can be fluid or unstable, but as the words of the poem remind us, music will not betray. No matter the experiences that we face, the relationships that we foster, or the memories that we create, music will always be there for us in times of need and in times of celebration. What does music mean to you? How does it enrich your life? On Music Thomas Moore When through life unblest we rove, Losing all that made life dear, Should some notes we used to love, In days of boyhood, meet our ear, Oh! how welcome breathes the strain! Wakening thoughts that long have slept, Kindling former smiles again In faded eyes that long have wept. Like the gale, that sighs along Beds of oriental flowers, Is the grateful breath of song, That once was heard in happier hours. Filld with balm the gale sighs on, Though the flowers have sunk in death; So, when pleasures dream is gone, Its memory lives in Musics breath. Music, oh, how faint, how weak, Language fades before thy spell! Why should Feeling ever speak, When thou canst breathe her soul so well? Friendships balmy words may feign, Loves are even more false than they; Oh! tis only musics strain Can sweetly soothe, and not betray. Note to the performer: Liberty can be taken with the tempo markings and rubato should be used throughout in order to further stress the beauty and significance of the text. With its vocal-like descant, the flute should be treated as an additional voice rather than mere accompaniment to enhance the texture of the piece.Thomas Moore (1779a1852) was an Irish poet, singer, songwriter and entertainer.

This short, “cool†suite in three movements can be performed with a variety of instruments from a handful of players to a complete concert band. The first movement radiates joy with a powerful 3/4 beat. The second movement is in the style of a pavane, which gives a sense of nostalgia and the final movement forms a cheerful and high-spirited closing with a really funky beat. This wonderful suite has been composed especially for youth musicians and they will all gain great pleasure from performing it.Because of the four-part instrumentation, School's Cool is suitable for smaller strengths, taking into account that it is important to divide parts evenly among the players. Alsoincludes an ad-lib keyboard/piano part to support the ensemble. Deze korte suite is uitvoerbaar in elke denkbare bezetting (eventueel inclusief piano). School’s Cool is gecomponeerd in opdracht van de Yamaha Bläserklasse van de Frauenwaldschule in Nieder-Mörlen (Duitsland), ter gelegenheidvan de verhuizing naar een ander gebouw. De leerlingen van het orkest vonden de voormalige school ‘cool’, omdat ze er fijn konden musiceren. Het eerste deel straalt deze vreugde uit met een krachtige beat in driekwartsmaat. Hettweede deel is een soort pavane, waarin even wat weemoed doorklinkt. Het derde deel vormt een levenslustig slot in een lekkere funkbeat. Een heerlijke suite voor jeugdige musici.Diese kurze, coole“ Suite in drei Sätzen wurde speziell für eine hoch motivierte Bläserklasse komponiert und kann deshalb in jeder denkbaren Spielstärke (optional mit Klavier) gespielt werden. Der erste Satz strahlt Spielfreude in einem kraftvollen Rhythmus im 1/2-Takt aus. Der zweite Satz ist eine Art Pavane, in welcher einen Moment lang Nostalgie widerklingt. Der dritte Satz bildet ein fröhliches, in Hochstimmung endendes Finale in einem ansprechenden Funk-Beat. Kurz gesagt, ist School’s Cool eine wunderbare Suite, ganz besonders für junge Musiker.Cette petite suite en trois mouvements est adaptée tous types de formations géométrie variable (partie de piano optionnelle). Le premier mouvement évoque la joie de vivre. Le deuxième mouvement est une sorte de pavane empreinte de nostalgie. Le troisième mouvement conclut l’œuvre sur un rythme funk entraînant. Questa piccola suite in tre movimenti, fluida e rilassante, è adatta ad ogni tipo di organico a strumentazione variabile (parte per il piano opzionale). School’s Cool è un brano commissionato a Jacob de Haan per la classe di musica Essential Elements della Scuola Frauenwald di Nieder-Mörlen in Germania. Il primo movimento evoca musicalmente la gioia di vivere. Il secondo movimento è una specie di pavane impregnata di nostalgia. Vivace e brillante, il terzo movimento chiude il brano su un trascinante ritmo funk. Questa piccola suite piena di charme è perfetta per giovani musicisti.

Ever since he was honored 50 years ago as a top prize-winning graduate of New England Conservatory and a Fulbright scholar at the Paris Conservatoire, flutist Robert Stallman has drawn accolades around the world as a performer and recording artist who “dazzles because of his penetrating artistry†(Sunday Times/London). Also known internationally for superior flute editions, including numerous transcriptions that have greatly expanded the repertoire, Stallman now offers flutists an appealing collection of original melodic warm-ups. With The Flutist’s Handbook, he shares his fresh approach to staying in shape and maintaining his reputation for “consummate virtuosity†(Repertoire/France).PrefaceOne morning many years ago I opened my flute case and suddenly found myself questioning the wisdom of having scales and long tones come first in my practice session. Of course, these are essential to daily practice, but I wondered if there might be a better way to begin the day—with something more melodic and engaging, something to really inspire me.The Flutist’s Handbook emerged from a stream of musical ideas I began to jot down during practice sessions after that “aha†moment. As I worked with them, I noticed a more spontaneous interest in practicing. In fact I even looked forward to starting my day this way. As a result, my work on scales, arpeggios and long tones followed with more enjoyment and focused attention.In creating many of the détaché warm-ups found in Part I, I was drawn to the musical sequences of J. S. Bach, particularly those developed in his keyboard works. Bach had discovered the most satisfying musical patterns on which to build his music, so here was a treasure trove of invigorating melodic material. I also borrowed apt détaché passages from C.P.E. Bach, Schubert, Dvořák and others.Part II includes more musical quodlibets and echos in a collection of fifteen short melodies designed to open and center the tone, while encouraging full breath support. These melodies also concentrate on developing our sostenuto, or true legato playing—the foundation of a beautiful sonority and natural vocal expression. Except for final cadence notes, these warm-ups should be practiced without vibrato, to create an even and seamless instrument, bottom to top.All of these warm-ups are to be played forte and piano in every major key, proceeding chromatically by rising half-steps. Tempo indications are given in the headings, as are optional rhythmic and articulation variants. Suggested breath marks are in parentheses.The Handbook opens with détaché warm-ups for a good reason. It is vital to begin our practice with tonguing, as a clean attack is essential to producing a beautiful tone. Also, in working on tonguing (single, double, triple and tremolando) we stimulate and strengthen the jaw muscles that support the embouchure (which must remain supple and flexible). As we fine-tune these muscles, we gain tonal center and clarity, qualities that may elude us at the beginning of our practice. Of course, we also need to wake up the air stream and deepen our breath support. Once the tongue is alive and the tone is centered, we are ready to work further on our sonority with the melodic warm-ups in Part II.This book is meant for professionals, students and amateur flutists alike. I offer it to all as a companion that invites more pleasure and vitality into our daily practice. It is my firm belief that by aligning ourselves with our love of music and its energizing patterns each day—from the very first moment we pick up the instrument—we will bring more ease and focus into our lifelong task of staying in shape. This in turn will support the heightened inspiration we want to take into rehearsals and performances. Enjoy!—Robert StallmanMarblehead, MassachusettsApril 20, 2018.
