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.

A festive, fresh reboot of traditional graduation music, this flute quartet (also known as "Land of Hope and Glory") contains both amped up romanticism and a bit of variation, to capture and accentuate the celebratory mood of graduation ceremonies or to play for sheer enjoyment. 14 pages of music (that includes the score and separate two-page pullout parts for each flute). Key: F major.

"Funiculì, Funiculà" is a Neapolitan song composed in 1880 by Luigi Denza to lyrics by Peppino Turco. It was written to commemorate the opening of the first funicular railway on Mount Vesuvius. The sheet music was published by Ricordi and sold over a million copies within a year. Since its publication, it has been widely adapted (Richard Strauss, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Arnold Schoenberg) and recorded (Luciano Pavarotti, Beniamino Gigli, Il Volo).

This arrangement for flute quartet includes the following parts: Flute 1, Flute 2, Flute 3, Flute 4 or Alto Flute.

The Pizzicato Polka is a piece of orchestral music by Johann Baptist & Josef Strauss composed in 1869 for a trip to Imperial Russia. It was published in 1870. The polka was written for string orchestra and glockenspiel. It was hugely popular, especially in Italy, where it was included on every program Strauss played there. The piece consists of four melodies and the work is arranged in ternary form (A-B-A). The original piece is scored for plucked strings.

This pack of baroque music is ideal to use a practice and performance pieces. The arrangements have been tried and tested for many years with great success, and are brought together here in one book to provide a big saving on the pieces compared to their full price.

Includes scores and parts for:


* Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 (Bach)
* Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, mvt. 3 (Bach)
* Canon (Pachelbel)
* Largo from ?Xerxes? (Handel) (quartet)

The Moldau is Smetana's most famous and most popular composition. The adaptation presented here is restricted to the essential contrasting motifs. On account of the original arrangement for flutes, the beginning takes up a lot of space as it symbolizes how the two rivers rise and meet. Many flutists who love the piece but do not have the chance to play it in an orchestra even once will benefit from the possibility of a chamber music edition. It is of intermediate difficulty and also well-suited as an encore.
