You are purchasing high quality sheet music PDF files suitable for printing or viewing on digital devices."The Nightingale" Flute duet and Piano is a flute duet in Barcarolle tempo and in ternary form.
I wanted the lilting tempo in the outer sections to have a medieval minor tone, to work with the contrasting major section in the middle.
I very much wanted it to be a flute duet rather than flute 1 and flute 2, so the parts are pretty equally divided. It is classical in nature, but uses modes and has a few interesting harmonies. It is placed at intermediate level, about associated board grade 5 (top note F (only once I believe)- dotted quaver semiquaver is the most complicated rhythm),and would be very suitable for concerts, recitals, weddings as well as an incidental piece. There are 3 flute pages per part and the piano part has 7 pages- 5 minutes in length.
