Amy Marcy Beach (1867 - 1944) was a pioneering woman composer at a time when women were barely considered by music publishers. She has been acclaimed to be the first important American woman composer. As a child Amy was allowed rather than encouraged to further her obvious musical talent. She wrote in a mature and virtuosic style for piano with use of chromaticism, fine melodic lines, and Impressionistic styles. This is her "Fire-Flies" set for flute quartet by John Gibson. (3 flutes and alto flute with an alternate 4th flute part for alto). This piece is also a part of a group of pieces called Buggy Delights also available on Sheet Music Press.

The Queen's Gambit is a miniseries that Netflix released in October 2020, and it quickly became one of their most-watched shows around the world.

Show aside, it has one of the most exciting musical scores, with the title number being my absolute favorite of the entire soundtrack, written by Carlos Rafael Rivera.

Scored for 2 C, alto, and bass flutes.

Geared for the more advanced groups, this piece is on fire from start to finish. At under 2 minutes, your quartet will have quite the workout. This would be a great opener or closer for your concerts.

Duration: 1.75 minutes
