Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) is regarded as one of the last great harp-players of Ireland and seems to be surrounded by an almost mystical aura. Numerous anecdotes exist which testify to a strong personality and a tremendous musical talent as well as enormous self-confidence. Unlike any other he knew how to combine old Irish music with Italian Baroque music creating numerous compositions about 200 of which have survived. 16 of them have been chosen and arranged by Patrick Pf??? for the delightful instrumentation of two Flutes and Alto Flute.Content:O'Carolan's ConcertoLady GethinJohn JamesonBlind MaryJohnDrury (Second Air)Colonel O'HaraCharles O'ConorO'Carolans Farewell to Music - O'Hara's CupThomas Leixlip the ProudMadam MaxwellReceipt for DrinkingPrincess RoyalMrs. Garvey (First Air)Lament for Owen Roe O'NeillMichael O'Connor (First Air)

for Flute Orchestra. Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 8 in B minor is more commonly referred to as the 'Unfinished Symphony.' Unlike most symphonies of that time, the symphony only consists of two movements, of which the Allegro moderato is the first movement. To this day it is disputed as to why Schubert never completed the work, but nevertheless, it is one of his most beloved compositions. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Flûtes

Par VERDI GIUSEPPE. Othello (or Otello) is an opera in four acts composed by Giuseppe Verdi, premiered in February 1887. As was customary at the time, a short ballet sequence was composed for the opera, to be inserted into Act III, just prior to the entrace of Lodovico, ambassador to the Venetian Republic. When Verdi sent the original manuscript to his publisher Ricordi, he included this detailed description of the scenario: 'Looking at the splendid, colonnaded scene of the Third Act, I decided to make the music go as follows: At the very beginning, to the sound of horns, a group of Turkish slave-girls dance with reluctance and ill-humor because of the very fact they are slaves. Then, hearing the strains of the Arab Song, they grow livelier and at the end dance quite wildly... At the Invocation to Allah, they all fall to the ground... Just then a group of beautiful Greek girls appears among the columns, and four measures later another similar group; at the thirteenth measure these two groups join in a quiet, aristocratic, classical dance. The next motif is that of La Muranese, which heralds the appearance of a 'group' (!) of Venetians... Eight measures later, another group of Venetians enters and at the eighteenth measure (fortissimo) these two groups meet and dance at the front of the stage. After the fortissimo there is a passage of very light music in F-sharp, which should be danced by couples. This motif is repeated, louder, and then all the Venetians dance together. The 6/8 motif reappears, and here I should like to see another group of Venetians come forward. The War Song should be danced by men alone. At the recurrence of the first motif, all the Venetians dance again, then at the più mosso, Venetians, Turks, Greeks, and the rest all dance together... Amen.' / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Flûtes

Flunk! can be played by 5 flutes with CD backing (fretless bass played by Daf Lewis) with or without the optional Alto Flute. The bass clarinet part is provided here for solely acoustic performances as an alternative to using the backing track. It is suggested that the flute players perform this work sitting in a traditional semicircle with two speakers behind them at head height. The speakers face the audience and the instrumentalists are carried by the backing. The flute players do not need any microphones.
