Three Uneven Dances (Flute Choir) Flute Choir - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.817939

This work consists of three short movements in irregular meters. It is joyful upbeat music that would be a bright spot in any program. The contrabass part is not optional but may be played on a regular bass flute if no contra is available.

The first movement, "Stomp" is in 9/8, conducted in 4: (initially 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 changing to 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 halfway through) with a heavy pulse and a bluesy chord progression in E minor. The second movement, "Waltz" is in 3 (3 + 3 + 2) with a momentary straight 3 in the middle section. This sweet little melody in G major is a bright contrast to the aggressive first movement. The final movement, "Reeling" is in 5/8 (2 + 3) with a brief detour to 2/4 near the end, in E major. It is a joyous dizzy layering of twirling notes in the upper voices against a rising grounded melody in the lower voices.

Each movement is 2 ½ to 3 minutes in length for an overall play time of aprox. 8 mins. There are 73 pages in this set, including cover pages, score, and parts.

This work is also available in a version for flute quartet (3 C-flutes and alto flute, or 4 C-flutes).
