“Imaginative writing for intermediate players.”
These six melodies are unmistakably Cornish. Wistful and sad, they conjure up vistas of windswept beaches and endless horizons which are often shrouded in mist. Each one has its own character, ranging from the cuckoo which sets the scene in Godrevey Island to the subtle jazz overtones of Lankidden. Intermediate flute players will love the simplicity of the writing and the use of the backing track, and everyone will enjoy the imaginative soundscapes created here. You don't have to love Cornwall to appreciate this.

Godrevy Island - A beautiful blend of bird calls, waves, and flowing lyrical melodic lines coupled with syncopation make this an exhiliarating play.
Hanover Cove - Tranquil lapping waves and the light glinting on the water introduce this gentle (yet later stormier) soundscape by means of the Dorian mode.
Piskies Cove - Strangely hypnotising and eerily enchanting, the pesky piskies play...
Lankidden - A tranquil and secret place with not a soul to be seen. The mixolydian mode and sparkling sevenths add to the beauty.
St Nectan's Waterfall - Delicate and brooding, feel the movement from the chordal harmony. A great piece for tone practise and control.
St Clement's Isle - Constrantly shifting changing and turning, dark and turbulent, then light and full of tranquility and life.
