This is a song that no one will expect a flute choir to play. That said, why not have a flute choir play it? This arrangement will require 1 or 2 people stamping their feet and clapping their hands throughout the whole piece. Or, you could have a drummer do his or her thing.

Play this in the right style - that is, leave your sweet vibrato behind and play this percussively and with an attitude that will make Freddie Mercury proud - and this will be a winner with your audience.

This arrangement of Gershwin?s famous Rhapsody in Blue includes all of the main musical themes from the original piano composition, but carefully arranged to suit this group. It features most of the instruments at various points and is exciting and challenging to play across the whole ensemble. This arrangement has been performed many times and is an impressive concert item. Parts are provided for 2 piccolos, 5 flutes, 2 alto flutes, 1 bass flute plus optional timps, glockenspiel and drum kit.

Piccolo, 2 flutes, flute 3/alto flute, alto flute, bass flute, contrabass flute. A new flute choir piece from established composer Keiron Anderson. To begin with, high staccato riffs on the top three parts create the impression of twinkling stars while the lower parts have a more stately tune below them. This alternates with semiquavers in cannon that race up and down the instruments like fireworks exploding. The next section continues the bustling feel of the music by using many time signature changes to keep the music on edge and moving forwards. The music then returns to the ideas of the first section before racing towards the most exciting conclusion. Covering pretty much the whole range of the instruments (particularly the lower parts) and with some very complex time signatures to handle, this is one for the expert flute choirs to really get their teeth into! Approximately grade 6 standard upwards.
