“Classy arrangements for alto flute.”

Chris Hankin Just Flutes staff member - [email protected]

Good arrangements of French vignettes are ideally suited to the alto flute and that's exactly what's on offer in this lovely book. The melodic lines are pitched so that the alto can use its cantabile voice to deliver the essence of each piece, and in such an expressive song as Duparc's Extase, for example, there is the perfect marriage of colour and meaning. If you love this instrument and this music then this is a great book for you!

From the Publisher

A collection of French romantic and impressionist pieces by Fauré, Hahn, Saint-Saëns, Chausson, Godard, Duparc and Franck arranged for alto flute and piano. The lyrical beauty of these melodies is perfectly suited to the voice of the alto flute and offers great scope to explore expression, melodic shaping, and colour. These icons of the French repertoire make perfect short concert pieces for alto flute.
