A lively swing arrangement in 5/4 for flute choir. This arrangement is perfect for the music educator who is looking for an opportunity to introduce flute students to odd-meter Jazz and improvisation!

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 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.
