This quirky, rhythmic piano piece from 'Children's Corner' works really well for small ensemble - the constant interplay between consonance and dissonance is really heightened. Difficult standard, but very playable by a good group.

The Fugitive is a three-part jazz fugue in bebop style on a walking bass. The renowned Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartet performed the world premiere of the work, created in 2002 by the Dutch recorder player and composer Karel van Steenhoven, founder member of the ensemble. The title is a play on the word 'fugue' and its old meaning of flight or chase. The parts chase after each other with fast solos and licks, flee from each other, until they reach a chaotic climax .- after a short quote from the James Bond theme. A striking title by the recorder expert who brilliantly mixes traditional and modern forms, styles and stylistic techniques.

This aria from Puccini's opera 'Turandot' was made famous beyond the world of opera by Luciano Pavarotti when he recorded it for the 1990 World Cup. It is a firm favourite to play at any performance, from weddings to recitals to parties and beyond!

This arrangement is simple enough to sight read by competent players and will be a strong addition to your repertoire.
