100 Christmas and Festive Tunes from Around the Worlds for Flute

From the Publisher

100 Christmas and Festive Tunes from Around the World for Flute is a musical adventure celebrating amazing traditional music from around the world.

To make it easy to plan your musical journey, the tunes are ordered alphabetically by country, and in order to embrace as wide a cultural variety as possible, we have included songs of Winter, Hannukah, Devotional songs, and even ancient Solstice songs, but most of the music in this book celebrates Christmas. If you are looking for something a little bit different to play this Christmas, this may be the book for you.

Many of the tunes are straightforward and are in easy keys and are great for early grade players but some have complex rhythms and are more challenging, and would suit intermediate players.

Most pieces range between low D to C above the stave, a few extend a little bit higher. Most are half a page in length and some are a whole page. Many are modal, so be prepared to expect the unexpected!

Includes 100 melodies from 65 countries; from the continents of Asia, Africa, North and South America, Europe and Australasia.

This book may be enjoyed year after year. Perfect for festive sight reading practice, entertaining the family and exploring music that might be less well known from across the world.
