Description
2 piccolo solos and flute choir (3 flutes (4th flute), alto flute, bass flute (contra-alto flute), (contrabass flute), double contrabass flute) - Intermediate-Advanced
SKU: FT.FM607
Composed by Henri Kling. Arranged by Robert Rainford. Arranged for 2 solo piccolos and flute ensemble. Score and parts. Published by Forton Music (FT.FM607).ISBN 979-0-57048-506-2.
This piece is a light hearted dance like composition that features a solo pair of piccolos. After some introductory fanfares and 'horn call' passages, the two soloists enter with a bird song like cadenza passage featuring calls and responses between them. This then leads into the main section of the piece, a jovial polka with the two soloists in rhythmic unison on top of the texture. Various bird-song features are included, simple repeating melodies in thirds, rapid repeated articulations of the same note, and flowing arpeggios. A great piece to feature the piccolo!
