The instantly recognisable and ever-popular Méditation, from the opera Tha s by Jules Massenet (1842-1912), remains a strong favourite in the classical repertoire, superbly arranged for Flute and Piano by French flautist, PaulTaffanel. Massenet first studied music with his mother before entering the Paris Conservatoire. He is best known for his operas, of which he composed over thirty. Tha s was first performed at the Opéra Garnier in Paris in 1894and continues to be one of the composer's most performed operas. The famous Méditation, is an intermezzo, originally for Violin and Orchestra, which has since been arranged for many different instruments, making it a frequentconcert piece. The arrangement for Flute and Piano remains in the original key of D major and displays the passionate religious intentions. Taffanel's adaptions include breath marks, phrasing, changing octaves for some notes andarticulation, among other aspects. Massenet's Méditation is challenging through its use of lyricism in the upper register, yet it remains a favoured and popular piece in the Flute's repertoire.

Where the first is marked tenderly, the second calls for strong and moving, and both feature the intricate rhythmic and chordal structure expected from Shapey. For advanced performers.

CANCIÓN DE CUNA is the Spanish word for Lullaby. This poignant 7-minute work was commissioned by flutist Cindy Anne Broz in remembrance of her mother; Zyman responded with a lullaby of gentle beauty and a strong folkloristic Mexican feeling, inspired by the lullabies he heard as a child. Suitable for recitals, memorials, and many other settings.
