Teacher soloist chamber musician conductor and composer ? Flautist Eric Ledeuil a student of Patrick Gallois and Benoît Fromanger wears many hats. This diversity continually enriches his educational work as can be seen by the success of his flute method La flûte imaginative published by Leduc in two volumes (AL 30 365 and 30 367). Fête à Camelot a piece for Flute and Piano (or Harp) for fourth-year students reconnects with the Knights of the Round Table an imaginary world that has long been a source of musical inspiration for Ledeuil: the key figures of the legend appear in hisLes Méandres de Viviane (AL 30 495 Beginner) and Les Mystères de Brocéliande (AL 29 589 Intermediate). This work is set in King Arthur?s fortress: the great halls ring out with the sounds of joyful festivities interspersed with echoes of Viviane?s song. A Knight?s story of his quest for the Holy Grail is followed by the furtive appearance of Morgan le Fay but she gives way to the Lady of the Lake ? Viviane ? whose distant melody shrouds itself in melancholy tones. The work concludes with a fisel a traditional Breton dance that whips the troubadours? enchanted instruments into a frenzy.

Arrangeur: James Galway. Par LETHIERE CHARLES. Charles Le ThiÚre's Maritana Fantasy is a lyrical and dramatic work along the lines of the famous Fantaisies of Paul Taffanel and Francois Borne. It is based on themes from the three act opera Maritana, the first of six operas composed by William Vincent Wallace.

He escapes to search for his bride in disguise, and soon realizes that she is the gypsy street singer he'd first heard in the public square, the beautiful Maritana.

Arrangeur: David Overton. Par GALWAY JAMES. This collection of songs were written and arranged for Sir James Galway as concert pieces by David Overton, his longtime arranger. They are all based to some extent on traditional Irish Melodies. The first three are contrasting tunes: 'Spinning Song,” the beautiful slow melody 'She moved through the fair,” and the more up-tempo 'Star of the County Down.” These were so successful in the original flute and piano version, as printed here, that Overton was requested to write versions for strings and for orchestra, which were equally successful and have formed a regular part of Galway's concert repertoire. 'Badinereelerie” is more light-hearted work, first written for Sir James Galway in 1984. Since then, he has played it countless times as printed here, and in a version for flute and orchestra. The surprising mixture of Bach (and Handel and others) with reels and Irish traditional tunes, and even a few English traditional tunes thrown in for good measure, has delighted audiences all over the world. The piece's rousing conclusion includes an optional switch to penny whistle, a practice that Galway writes, 'I have always taken advantage of.”/ Recueil / Flûte Traversière et Piano
