Fredmans Songs and Epistles for Four Flutes

From the Publisher

The present arrangement and adaptions of Bellmans Epistlar och Sånger for flute quartet was originally written for my students. Some of them are my arrangements where I have strived to maintain the musical style of the time. I also have arranged or adapted Olof Åhlström's piano settings from the original edition from 1791. I have made small adjustments here or added a fourth part. Several of the pieces are ideal for playing as duets or trios. They are arranged in increasing difficulty and are intended to be played from the third year. The difficulty level also varies between the different parts in a piece. The batch designations are Åhlströms. The printed slurs are mine. Some pieces are available in two versions and can, like Songs 35 and 41, be played attacca. Fredman's Songs 2 and 3 are ideal for playing together as "Menuet and Trio". Getting to know the lyrics of the songs gives an extra spice to the music.
