This was written originally for a secondary-school recorder group and piano, but has been re-scored for flute ensemble. It has been recorded in its wind band configuration, where both score, parts and CD are available from Editions Marc Reift.

I have recently made a number of arrangements of it for smaller ensembles, without the piano, which has been an interesting challenge, especially in versions for wind quartet. As before, when reworking older material, I have used the opportunity to add extra counter-melodies, made slight harmonic adjustments and, of course, changed the key to suit the various instrumental combinations.

An optional drum part /guide is included with each set of parts.

Extra parts are included, where a bass clarinet might not be available.

N.B. In the present economic climate, a good number of smaller ensembles understandably buy just the set of parts as, in reality, these alone are all that is needed in performance. Equally, a similar number buy both the parts and the full score. To compensate for this, I intend to reduce the cost of the full score by $4, and increase the price of the lead part by $3, a differential that wasn’t available to sellers at the former SibeliusMusic.com.
