Moon River by Henry Mancini is a familiar melody that can add a lighter note to your next program.
Adapted for flute choir (flutes 1-4, alto, and bass), and scored with lush jazz chords, this
arrangement is not difficult technically, but pays attention to dynamics and phrasing to create
a relaxing break from more serious program choices. Both the upper and lower flutes have their
turn at carrying the theme through two keys, all supported by a flowing accompaniment that
mirrors the melody. Your group will enjoy this as much as your audience does.

This Christmas song is one of the classics. Every time I hear it, I picture the characters from "Peanuts" skating on the ice. This piece has great jazz chords and it helps bring calm to a sometimes hectic time of year. It's a great piece to add to your Christmas program!

This arrangement is for low flute choir - Altos, Basses, and Contra bass.
