In 1972, Paul Simon claimed that "Bridge Over Troubled Water" was his best melody to date. When it was written in 1969, it comforted an America weary of war and civil strife. Such was the power of this song that generations have sought its healing phrases ever since. In this arrangement for flute choir, Judy Nishimura uses gospel music elements to heighten the emotional impact. The compelling legato style of the melody is well suited for flutes. Suitable for church, school, or amateur groups. An optional part for Contrabass flute is included. Duration: 5:00
