A Collection of five fabulous arrangements for flute and Piano by Chris Lawry and Keri Degg. The pack includes inventive and original ideas from the two composers/arrangers and include an accessible written out 'sax solo-type' section in each. With various styles covered (including Funk, smooth jazz, ballad, and even 5/4 time!) this is a bargain pack for the flautist. The pieces are accessible, and even the most challenging are only around grade 6 standard, so they are easy enough to practice up with limited time available. The pack is also available in Eb Saxophone, Bb Clarinet, and Bb Saxophone editions.

Free demo, and backing tracks with enhanced instruments added (drum kit, bass, bells etc as on the demo mp3) can be requested after purchasing by contacting the publisher (the details are printed on the sheet music, which you'll see once you've bought/printed it out - and requires the following information; 1.Order date, 2. Product and instrument, 3. Your location - eg state AND country).

Here are three refreshing new modernarrangements of three popular traditional carols ?like you ain?t never heardthem before?. Intended for the intermediate flute player (or players) and areasonably competent pianist, they are sure to brighten up your Christmasevents whether at home, school, church or recital hall. You can of course use the music with any number of flute players. The pieces could be usedduring a Christmas service or as stand-alone pieces at an end-of-termpresentation. The audio sample includes recordings of all three pieces.

The King Rides Out(based on ?Good King Wenceslas?) starts conventionally enough but turns into acountry-style song and then there?s a three-part Bach-like contrapuntal section,concluding with a wistful coda before the music returns to the joyful countrystyle. Waltz with Holly ? or Possibly Ivy (based of course on ?The Hollyand the Ivy?) turns into a dreamy waltz with long extended phrases and a goodvehicle to show the flute player?s tone quality. The Merry Gentleman goLatin is a lively rumba version of ?God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen?.
