Patterns for Sub Contrabass Flute	Lynne Williams	Solo Sub Contrabass Flute	An exciting addition to the repertoire of a newly emerging instrument. Heard mostly in flute choirs and ensembles, this is a chance to give the giant of the flute family the spotlight. Some extended techniques used, and the key slaps actually work extremely well on the longer tube of this flute. Using a range of two octaves and with some long phrases, this piece presents some challenges unique to the sub contrabass flute.	FM109	£6.00

Duos Opus 49 nos. 4-6	Jacques Offenbach	Flute Duet	Transcribed from Cello Duos, these flute pieces are both enjoyable and challenging. Each flute takes their turn at the melodies, and each book contains pieces of varying difficulty, as listed below. Opus 49 nos 4-6 are around Grade 3-4 standard, with simple keys and generally taking high D as the highest note.	FM038	£7.00
Duos Opus 50 nos. 1-3	Jacques Offenbach	Flute Duet	Again, these are in simple keys, (a brief move to 4 flats in one movement), the range being expanded up to high F.	FM039	£7.00
Duos Opus 50 nos. 4-6	Jacques Offenbach	Flute Duet	Bb major and E major feature here alongside D major and D minor. High F sharp is the extent of the range, but the more advanced keys make this Grade 5 and above standard.	FM040	£7.00
Duos Opus 51 no 1	Jacques Offenbach	Flute Duet	A duo of very substantial length, this book includes individual printed parts for ease of page turns as well as a score. In three movements, this duo begins in A major and has a range up to high A.	FM041	£7.00

Duos Opus 51 no 3	Jacques Offenbach	Flute Duet	Another duo of very substantial length, including individual printed parts for ease of page turns and score, this duo is in three movements, C major with a range from bottom C to high G. Not as technically challenging as some of the earlier works, apart from the many low Cs.	FM043	£7.00
Duos Opus 52 no 1	Jacques Offenbach	Flute Duet	In F major, much upper register work in both parts. Once again in three movements with score and individual parts.	FM044	£7.00
Duos Opus 52 no 2	Jacques Offenbach	Flute Duet	In D major, again both parts spend a lot of time in the upper register, with high A still the upper limit. Once again in three movements with individual printed booklets for each part and score.	FM045	£7.00
Duos Opus 52 no 3	Jacques Offenbach	Flute Duet	In C major, this work begins as a theme and variations. Some awkward triplet passages in the upper register, but nothing higher than A. Score and parts included.	FM046	£7.00
Duos Opus 53 no 1	Jacques Offenbach	Flute Duet	More challenging, in Bb major with an upper limit of high B. One for the Grade 7/8 players. Score and parts included.	FM047	£7.00
Duos Opus 53 no 2	Jacques Offenbach	Flute Duet	In C major, an occasional high B, not quite as tricky as Opus 53 no 1. Score and parts included.	FM048	£7.00
Duos Opus 53 no 3	Jacques Offenbach	Flute Duet	More challenging than Opus 53 no 2, again in C major with plenty of high register work. Score and parts included.	FM049	£7.00
Trois Duos Concertantes opus 13	W Ferling	Flute Duet	Printed as two separate parts due to the scale of the work, this arrangement is suitable for players of grade 6 - 8 standard.	FM059	£10.00
Duo Opus 131 No 3	Max Reger	Flute Duet	Two duets by Reger, arranged for two flutes. The first movement is a compete canon, with the second player entering after half a bar. The second duet has a similar feel but is more fugal, with the second part being more independant of the first. This contrapuntal texture gives the music a Baroque feel, but the wide ranging keys, multiple time changes and dramatic dynamics add a more Romantic dimension to the pieces. Fairly short pieces (about 40 bars and about 50 bars) but marked at Vivace and Allegro con spirito, these are around grade7-8 standard.	FM119	£6.00
Duo KV 423	WA Mozart	Concert Flute and Alto Flute Duet	This is an arrangement of Mozarts duo for flute and viola KV 423 for flute and alto flute. An extensive piece in three movements (fast, slow and then fast again), this piece was designed to give the alto flute some of the classical chamber music that is missing from the instrument's repertoire. Both parts are intricate and interesting; the two outer movements will require neatness of fingers and tongue, while the slow middle movement demands a singing tone and light playing from both parts. Flute 1 extends well into the third octave, and the alto flute part goes up to top E in the 2nd octave.	FM091	8.00

Three Renaissance Trios	Various	Flute Trio	Three Fantasias written by Renaissance Composers, arranged for three concert flutes. Aimed at players of grade 5-8 standard.	FM037	£7.00
Sonata da Chiesa Opus 1 nos. 1-3	Arcangelo Corelli	Flute Trio - three flutes or two flutes and alto/bass flute. Part of the Combined Wind Trio series	Corelli's first three Trio Sonatas make a great first step into ensemble music and the music of the baroque. Each sonata consists of four movements of varying lengths and difficulty, with equal interest in all parts. Flautists of grade 4/5 standard will enjoy these pieces. Parts may be mixed with the companion arrangements for clarinet, saxophone and double reed ensembles.	FM067	£10.00
Trio Sonatas Opus 2 nos. 1-4	Arcangelo Corelli	Flute Trio - three flutes or two flutes and alto/bass flute	These transcriptions of Corelli's Op. 2 Trio Sonatas make great ensembles for grade 5 players. Each sonata consists of four small movements, varying in length from 8 bars to about 50 bars. Movement titles are taken from dance suites of the time, but the tempi do not necessarily reflect the titles. The top two flute parts are rhythmically independant, while the third part provides the bass line. (An alto flute part is included as an alternative to a concert flute for part 3). Key signatures are simple (C, G major and A minor), giving the players time to focus on the polyphonic lines. Flute one reaches top G very occasionally, whilst flute 2 reaches top F# once. Musically both interesting and attractive.	FM050	£10.00

Flute Trios Book 1	Lynne Williams	Flute Trio	Written for Grade 2 standard flautists, these trios are an ideal entry for younger players into ensemble playing.	FM055	£9.00
Terzetto	Antonin Dvorak	Flute Trio - 2 flutes and alto flute	Originally for two violins and a viola, this charming trio works well on two concert flutes and one alto flute. A fairly substantial work in four movements. The first is allegro non troppo with contrapuntal interest in all parts. The second slow movement alternates long lyrical sections with spiky dotted rhythm sections. The third movement is a Scherzo marked Vivace, which is very reminiscent of both Dvorak's and Brahms' Slavonic Dances. The last movement is a Theme followed by a set of variations, each exploring a different style, building to a fast and exciting ending. All of these with Dvorak's characteristic harmonic and melodic touches make this a lovely addition to the chamber music repertoire list. Standard is about grade 6-7.	FM111	£8.00
Trio Opus 87	L van Beethoven	Flute Trio - 2 flutes and alto flute	An arrangement of Beethoven's trio in C major, Op. 87. Originally written in 1795 for two oboes and a cor anglais, this piece transfers well in this arrangement for two flutes and an alto flute. In four movements: a fast 1st movement, a slow and lyrical 2nd movement, a Minuetto that is really a Scherzo marked Allegro molto and finishing with a finale marked Presto. All Beethoven's stylistic traits are here, and all parts are interesting and rewarding to play. Not technically challenging, although flute one has some fast tonguing particularly in the finale. Players of grade 4 standard and upwards should be able to gain much from this piece.	FM108	£9.00
Quartets
Title	Composer	Instrumentation	Description	Code	Cost	Buy
Ave Verum Corpus K618	Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart	Flute Quartet - four concert flutes	A transcription of a famous choral piece by Mozart for four concert flutes. In D major, marked adagio but with a cut common time signature. Flute 2 reaches top F# and flute 4 reaches down to bottom C. Extremely playable and very enjoyable.	FM034	£7.00
Prelude from 'Carmen'	Georges Bizet	Flute Quartet - four concert flutes	A straight arrangement of the Prelude to Bizet's opera Carmen that loses nothing in the reduction to four parts. All players take turns to play the tune and the accompaniments. Quite a long arrangement, but it was too good to leave anything out! Approximately grade 4-5 standard.	FM057	£8.00
Renaissance Dances	Tylman Susato	Flexible Flute Quartet 4 flutes, alternate parts for piccolo, alto and bass flutes included	In four movements - Ronde, Saltarello, Pavane and Ronde. Ideal for less experienced players of about grade 2 standard. Technically straightforward and still rewarding to play.	FM001	£7.00
Three Minuets	Giacomo Puccini	Flute Quartet 2 flutes, alto flute and bass flute.	Technically demanding, passing through a wide range of keys. First flute reaches top C, second flute reaches top A. All parts are very independant, this will challenge players of Grade 7-8 standard.	FM007	£9.00
Air from Suite no 3 in D	J S Bach	Flute Quartet 2 flutes, alto flute and bass flute. (Bass flute may be replaced by a 2nd alto flute)	Whilst not technically challenging, this arrangement requires musicality from all players for a successful performance. All parts are independant, and while not exceeding top E some tricky rhythms make this harder to pull off. The slow tempo makes support of the longer notes essential. Players of grade 4-5 standard will relish the chance to play this perennial favourite.	FM010	£7.00
Chanson de Matin	Edward Elgar	Flute Quartet 2 flutes, alto flute and bass flute	An arrangement of this well known work for flute quartet. In C major, this piece is a lovely addition to any concert.	FM066	£8.00
Church Sonatas nos 7 - 9	W A Mozart	Flexible Flute Quartet 4 flutes, alternate parts for alto and bass flutes included	These three short works make a great addition to the flute quartet repertoire. Lively and exciting, all parts share in driving the music forward. Tutti sections lead by the first flute alternate with contrapuntal sections where all players take an equal role. The first is in B flat major, the second in C and the third and final one in the set is also in B flat major. All are fast, and require some neat tonguing particularly from flute one. Players of grade 4/5 standard should be able to tackle these. Alternate parts are included so the alto flute may be replaced by a concert flute, and the bass flute may be replaced by an alto flute.	FM097	£10.00
Christmas Collection	Various	Flexible Flute Quartet 4 Flutes (optional piccolo, alto, bass, contra alto and contra bass doubling parts)	A collection of 8 standard Christmas carols presented in straightforward four part harmony. Once in Royal David's City, Good King Wenceslas, While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem, Silent Night, Ding Dong! Merrily On High, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, O, All Ye Faithful. Designed to fit with any of our versions of the Christmas Collection, this has to be the most flexible set of Christmas Carols around. As long as all four parts are covered from any set, these arrangements will sound full and complete. Keys have been kept as close to the originals as possible.

Abendlied Op 69 no 3	Josef Rheinberger	4 flutes, alto flute, bass flute	A relatively simple yet beautiful arrangement of a choral piece by Rheinberger. G major with an andante tempo marking. Chordal passages alternate with some simple counterpoint building to a magnificent climax in the middle of the piece. Players of grade 3 standard should be able to get a lot out of this piece.	FM058	£7.00
Entr'actes from 'Carmen'	Georges Bizet	Flute Choir/Ensemble Piccolo, 3 flutes, alto flute, bass flute, optional contr'alto flute, contra-bass flute, optional percussion	A fairly large scale arrangement of the three entractes from Bizet's Carmen for flute choir. Each movement has a different character - the first is march-like, the second lilting and romantic, and the third is full of spanish fire. The first movement is relatively straightforward featuring bass and alto flute solos. The second requires sustained playing in the third octave from flute one in particular, and the third requires nimble fingerwork from all players and strong tonguing to bring out the spanish feel. At around 6 minutes long, this is a nice suite to include in a concert.	FM035	£12.00
Suite from 'The Spanish Lady'	Edward Elgar	Flute Choir/Ensemble Piccolo, 2 first flutes, 2 second flutes, alto flute (or 3rd concert flute), bass flute (or alto/contra-alto flute), optional contrabass flute.	Five movements: Country Dance, Burlesco, Adagio, Sarabande and Bouree. Whilst playable by six players, this works better with multiple performers on each part, and is a firm favourite with our local flute choir. The third and fourth movements are relatively easy, with slower tempi and notes not surpassing top E. About grade 5 standard. The other movements are more complicated, involving faster tempi, complicated rhythms and key changes. Flute one goes up to top C, but this is optional! About grade 7-8 standard.	FM014	£12.00
Serenade	Piotr Ilyich Tschaikovsky	Flute Choir/Ensemble Piccolo, 3 Concert Flutes, 2 Alto Flute parts (Bass flute part doubling Alto flute 2 included), Bass or Contra-Alto Flute, Contrabass Flute	This is a full, unabridged arrangement of one of the outstainding pieces of string repertoire. This makes it a challenge for the more advanced flute choir. In four movements: 1. Pezzo in forma di Sonatina, 2. Walzer, 3. Elegie, 4. Finale (Tema Russo). The first and last movements in praticular are very long and require stamina to get through. The middle two movements, while shorter and slightly easier, need musical handling to bring out all the subtle nuances of the music. Definitely one for Grade 8+ players.	FM021	£25.00
Ave maris stella	Edvard Grieg	Flute Choir/Ensemble 4 Flutes, alto flute, bass flute	An ideal piece for the less experienced flute choir. 44 bars long in G major with an Allegretto tempo marking, this was originally a choral piece which has been transcribed for flute choir. Flute one and two reach top G, whilst the third and fourth part go no higher than 2nd octave D (although there are some A#'s to deal with). The alto and bass parts are very simple, allowing players less certain on these instruments to find their feet. The second half of this piece is an identical repeat of the first half, with flute one changing material with flute two, and flute three changing with flute 4. A useful concert piece.	FM036	£7.00
Jubilate Deo	Giovanni Gabrieli	Flute Choir/Ensemble 4 flutes, 2 alto flutes, 2 bass flutes	This piece features all the most satisfying elements of Renaissance music. Whilst none of the parts indiviually are difficult (nothing higher than D), the complex eight-part polyphony make this more of a challenge than it would first appear. The articulation requires detailed attention to bring out the various entries of the themes, and the dynamics need to bring out the echo effects used in this music. A very interesting large scale flute choir arrangement.	FM053	£9.00
Three Choruses from 'The Messiah'	G F Handel	Flute Choir/Ensemble 4 Flutes, alto flute, bass flute, optional contr'alto flute, contra-bass flute	Three choruses from Handel's Messiah (Let us break their bonds asunder, For unto us a child is born and His yoke is easy) arranged for large flute choir. The contrapuntal nature of these pieces takes them out of the realm of a simple sightreading exercise and makes them really meaty pieces that need careful practice and rehearsal. All parts (even the lowest flutes) take part in the counterpoint, and flutes one and two need agile fingers and nimble tongues to negotiate the extended semiquaver passages. Something different for the Christmas concert!	FM030	£12.00
Holberg Suite Opus 40	Edvard Grieg	Flute Choir/Ensemble Piccolo, 4 flutes (flute 4 replacing alto flute 1), 3 alto flutes, bass flute (replacing alto flute 3), optional contr'alto flute, optional contra-bass flute.	This is a complete transcription of Grieg's famour Holberg Suite. The layout is designed to be as flexible as possible. It is possible to perform this work with a lineup of piccolo, 4 flutes and two alto flutes, for groups who do not have access to the larger instruments. This piece is in 5 movements: Praelude, Sarabande, Gavotte and Musette, Air and Rigaudon. The praelude requires long sections of fast tonguing from all players, and flute one in general needs a player of about grade 8 standard, but the lower parts are much more accessible. The differing characters of each movement make the while piece well worth working on, and this piece has gone down well in our local flute choir concerts.	FM033	£13.00
Ouverture Miniature from The Nutcracker	Piotyr Ilyich Tchaikovsky	Flute Shoir/Ensemble Piccolo, optional G treble, 4 flutes, Alto Flute, Bass Flute	This is a full and unabridged arrangement of Tchaikovsky's Overture to The Nutcracker Ballet Suite. Bubbling with attractive tunes which pass between all parts, flute 1 needs agile players who can cope with fast tonguing while the lower parts become simpler. The alto flute part is a particular challenge as it frequently echoes the semiquavers of the upper parts, whilst the bass flute part ventures into the third octave giving the whole score the lightness of the original. A great way to open a flute choir concert.	FM060	£10.00
Valse des Fleurs	Piotyr Ilyich Tchaikovsky	Flute Choir/Ensemble with optional Harp. Piccolo, optional G treble, 4 flutes, alto flute, bass flute, optional contr'alto flute, contrabass flute, optional harp.	The final section of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, again in a full and unabridged arrangement for large flute choir. Full of beautiful melodies which pass through all the parts, the addition of the optional harp gives a whole new dimension to the flute choir. The upper parts need good players as the notes are not straightforward initially, while the lower parts are simpler. The alto and bass flutes get their own solo bringing them to the fore for a change.	FM061	£12.00
Danses Characteristiques from the Nutcracker	Piotyr Ilyich Tchaikovsky	Flute Choir/Ensemble Piccolo, optional G treble, 4 flutes, alto flute, bass flute, optional contr'alto flute, contrabass flute	This is a full arrangement of the Danses Characteristiques from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. Full of well known tunes these character pieces give larger flute choirs a chance to show their range and flexibility, from the speed and excitement of the Trepak to the sinuous melodic lines of the Danse Arabe. The parts are graduated, with flute 1 being the hardest and flute four the easiest (about grade 3). Includes the famous flute feature, the Danses des Mirlitions.	FM062	£14.00
Ave Maria	Gustav Holst	Flute Octet ( double quartet) 6 flutes, 2 alto flutes	An arrangement of one of Gustav Holst's earlier works, originally for eight part women's voices. Lush harmonies and simple flowing lines build to create a beautifully elegant sound world. The statement and answer sections mean that this piece works well antiphonally with the two quartets separated, but is just as good as a large choir piece. The relatively straightforward lines and simpler instrumentation make this an ideal piece for flute choirs that do not possess the larger instruments.	FM101	£7.00
Four Norwegian Dances	Edvard Grieg	Flute Choir Ensemble - Piccolo, optional G treble, 4 flutes, alto flute, bass flute, optional contr'alto, optional contrabass and very optional subcontrabass	Composed in 1880 for piano duet, these four charming dances make a delightful addition to any concert. In four movements, the first and last of which are more extended compositions featuring varied tempi and moods; fast semiquaver sections alternating with slower sections of lush harmony. The fourth movement in particular gets faster and faster ending with an exciting Prestissimo section. The second and third movements are simpler, but no less attractive. This is scored for a large flute choir - piccolo, four flutes, alto and bass flutes, with optional extra parts for G treble, contrabass, contra-alto and even sub contrabass flutes. All instruments have interesting but playable parts - flute 1 goes up to top A while flute 4 is about grade 3 standard.	FM122	£16.00
Solo Flute with Flute Ensemble
Morceau De Concours	Gabriel Faure	Solo Flute with 2 altos, 2 basses, contr'alto and contrabass flute.	This arrangement of a classic flute repertoire piece retains the original flute part as a solo line, with the accompaniment being taken by the low flutes. The solo is approximately grade 7, with the accompaniment parts being very straightforward.	FM012	£7.00
Tambourin	F J Gossec	Solo flute with Flexible Flute Quartet - Part 1 Flute, Part 2 Flute, Part 3 Flute or Alto Flute, Part 4 Flute, Alto Flute or Bass Flute	As part of an ever expanding series of flute solos with flute ensemble, we are pleased to make this perennial favourite available. The solo part is presented unchanged and is of about grade 6 standard. The ensemble is flexible and works well with four concert flutes, but parts for alto and bass flutes are included expanding the range and depth. The ensemble parts are about grade 4 standard. A great favourite.	FM078	£7.00
Orchestral Suite no 2	J S Bach	Solo flute with Flute Ensemble - 2 flutes, alto, bass, optional contr'alto and contrabass	This is an arrangement of the famous Bach Orchestral Suite No.2 in D for solo flute and flute choir. The solo part has been left in it's original form, while the accompanying choir has optional parts for contra-alto and contrabass flutes. The opening Ouverture is by far the longest movement, with a slow and highly decorated opening followed by a quick fugal section. A selection of dances follow; a Rondeau, a Sarabande, two Bourees, a Polonaise wit ha variation, a Minuet and finally the famous Badinerie. The solo flute sometimes merely doubles the first choir line, but in other movements (most notably the Polonaise variation and the Badinerie) it has it's own important part to play. A chance for a wider range of musicians to get to play this deservedly famous suite.	FM090	£12.00
