The Sacred Flutist: 24 Songs and Hymns for Flute Alone

By Judy Nishimura

Ms. Nishimura is getting much praise these days for her flute arranging genius and is well-deserved. If you've ever played in a sacred setting (or not), this is a must-have, no matter playing ability (above beginner). Every piece is a musical jewel; I also have the Christmas...

Flutist and Christmas Joy for flute duet. I especially love that she works with Joel Raney (of Flute Stylings). I can't say enough of the enjoyment I get out of playing these arrangements!

Even before the pandemic, I was frequently asked to play some unaccompanied works on my flute at church. So, I would tentatively pull out the hymnal and lightly embellish a random hymn. That was until I discovered this collection arranged by Judy Nishimura! Each piece is an absolute gem, enjoyable...

to play, and recognizable to the congregation. Now, during the pandemic, not only do I enjoy playing them by myself at home, but also I can record them for my church family to share through our online worship. Thank you Judy for composing this collection! I have been looking for something like this for a long time.
