For flute, harpsichord, and strings or flute and piano The instrumentation is the same as Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.5. The Suite is made up of six movements ranging from `a Bach-like Aria' to a 'Richard Rodgers-style Waltz'. Rutter's own style comes forth most strongly in the final Rondeau with its characteristically forward-driving rhythms and beautiful melodic lines. Evoking an 'antique' spirit, each movement is based on a Baroque or Classical style. Full scores and parts are available on hire from the publisher.

      Suite Antique for flute and Piano

      I heard this on our local PBS station and loved the flute parts so I ordered it. I am in the process of learning the parts, particularly the odd-numbered movements (for some reason I like those best). I plan on using these in Church programs as either a prelude or...

      Beautiful to hear and fun to play!

      I first heard just the Prelude of "Suite Antique" by John Rutter played in The Collegiate Presbyterian Church in Ames, Iowa. I was so swept off of my seat that I immediately ordered it to play myself. It arrived as I arrived home from Iowa. I am looking forward to...

      Execellent Piece

      This piece is very enjoyable to play and it offers several varieties in style. It has slow, lyrical movements, and fast, dancelike movements as well as some jazz and an aria movement. I look forward to practicing when I play this piece.

      Delightful and playable for intermediate players

The lyrical Prelude gives way to the exciting Ostinato with its changing back and forth between 3/4 time and 6/8. This is followed by the cantabile Aria, encouraging the flute...
