Staff Pick
“Get those castanets out!”
Chris Hankin Just Flutes staff member - chrish@justflutes.com
This is a great flute choir piece by the 'Cuban Gershwin'. It's Flamenco in style with driving bass lines and familiar themes. Mini cadenzas punctuate the form with soloists in dialogue with the rest of the group. Anne Cameron Pearce has arranged this wonderfully (as usual) so it really works. You can use all C flutes but the addition of the piccolo and at least some lower instruments will obviously lift the texture. The only thing missing is a part for castanets!
Our Description
Malaguena is a Spanish flamenco genre piece with impish themes and frivolous arpeggios that provide stylized flair. Flute choirs have the joyous opportunity to meet the challenge for exaggerated dynamics and accents that will produce a very dramatic interpretation.
