Happy Birthday arranged for flute choir: piccolo and 3 flutes.

2017 Holiday Contest Entry


This arrangement of five traditional Israeli folk songs and Jewish holiday music will put you in the mood to celebrate! The first flutes are featured prominently in this arrangement. Each part takes a turn carrying the tune, with rich harmonies and driving rhythms enhancing the melodies. The medley begins exuberantly in the key of concert d minor, moves joyfully to the relative F Major, then finishes boisterously back in d minor. I have included a version of the alto flute part transposed for C flute in case you don't have an alto flute available.

Songs featured are:

� Hevaynu Shalom Alaychem (We Brought Peace Unto You)

� Maoz Tsur (Rock of Ages)

� Artsa Alinu (We Have Come to the Land)

� Chanukah

� Yibane Amenu (In Our Land We Shall Rebuild Our Nation)



I hope you will enjoy performing this medley as much as I have enjoyed arranging it! Audiences are sure to love it. This would work well in a variety of venues:school concert, synagogue, shopping mall background music, chamber music concert, prelude to a concert, etc. It?s perfect for anywhere you want to lift people?s spirits with energetic, familiar seasonal and folk music. Duration is approximately 3.5 min. L?chaim!

Score and individual parts included.
Flute 1, Flute 2, Flute 3, Flute 4, Alto Flute, Bass Flute and Optional Piano

This unique and clever and arrangement features all members of the ensemble and will provide a highlight to an Easter service or recital. Various textures are employed including a variation in the style of a Baroque fugue. The countermelodies and florid accompanying passages give this work an engaging originality while at the same time maintaining the integrity of the familiar hymn.
