Flute Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.1456700 Composed by Jailton de Oliveira. 21st Century,Classical,Contemporary. Individual part. 4 pages. Jailton de Oliveira #1035769. Published by Jailton de Oliveira (A0.1456700). Fragmentos, for Solo Flute. Fragmentos or Fragments in English. The idea of the fragments is inserted in the work in two ways: first, by the initial motif, which appears fragmented and as it repeats itself, it takes shape, that is, it ceases to be small fragments to become a larger phrase; then the idea of the fragments is related to the fact that the piece has small interconnected sections. They are sections that at the same time have contrasting ideas and also have some elements in common that make them connected. So we could say that the piece is fragmented into small parts. There are five sections. The latter is a variation of the first.

Flute Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.964350 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Anderson Leal. Instructional,Romantic Period,Standards,World. Individual part. 8 pages. Leyandder Trustworthy #6231121. Published by Leyandder Trustworthy (A0.964350). The present collection was the result of research and dedication, in order to analyze and select well known and well executed works, for this instrument (flute), unfortunately, it was necessary to leave some better known works out of the collection, such as: Septet in E flat, Opus 20, and the themes of the Opera Fidelio, Opus 72b, as soon as, these are not so favorable for execution on wind instruments, as well as they are of high difficulty.The purpose of this work is for beginners and interediate practitioners on wind instruments, and it can be used effectively by teachers and musical educators who need a material of easy accessibility, as well as good reading and interpretation quality. This material also has the aid of a cipher to be used in accompaniment of a harmonic instrument, because there is not always the availability of a professional pianist to accompany the student. In view of the above-mentioned considerations, I conclude by saying that the inspiration for the fabrication of this work is due to the reality observed in many music schools that are in a precarious state, not only of musical instruments or basic teaching materials, but also the lack of good quality musical editions accessible to educators and students, so that they have access to the great works making our musical future guaranteed of good musical quality and accessible to all.FOR ELISE; WoO 59MINUET IN G MAJOR; WoO 10/2ODE TO JOY; Opus 125CONCERTO IMPERATOR; Opus 73SYMPHONY NO. 5 THEME; Opus 67TURKISH MARCH; Opus 113MOONIGHT SONATA; Opus 27SONATINA; Ahn. 5SYMPHONY NO. 7 THEME; Opus 92 VIOLIN CONCERTO; Opus 61

Fugue: "Wear Pearls and Smile" (A Pairing with Beethoven's Symphony #2) - Flute 1
Flute
Flute Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1018922 Composed by Benjamin Harry …
(+)
Flute Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1018922 Composed by Benjamin Harry Sajo. 20th Century,Contemporary. Individual part. 4 pages. Benjamin Sajo #6072947. Published by Benjamin Sajo (A0.1018922). Fugue: Wear Pearls and Smile is, on the outset, a fast, rambunctious adventure for many voices playing at the same time. It was conceived as a pairing for the equally vivacious second symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven–his 250th birthday is this year–but can stand on its own as one of my hardest, most challenging works to cook up.This piece is dedicated to those forced to appear positive when internally they’re falling apart. The title is inspired by a quote that’s been with me for a while, Why is it that men can be bastards and women must wear pearls and smile? by Lynn Hecht Schafren, the celebrated American jurist famous for campaigning for gender equity in courts. I’m taking the quote out of its initial context, but the power of that quote, for me, exemplifies how hard it is to maintain a sense of emotional decorum and dignity when you’re authentically a hot mess. And what’s more of a musical hot mess than a fugue?There are two realities to this piece. I’ll quote Dmitri Shostakovich, from his autobiography: The rejoicing is forced, created under threat, […] It’s as if someone were beating you with a stick and saying, ‘Your business is rejoicing, your business is rejoicing,’ and you rise, shaky, and go marching off, muttering ‘Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing.’ On the one hand, it is insincere happiness, cloying perhaps. But the other truth, I’ll quote Oscar Hammerstein II, from The King and I: While shivering in my shoes / I strike a careless pose / And whistle a happy tune / And no one ever knows, / I'm afraid. I forced myself, against all impulses of my current being, to forge happiness. This piece, with its origin being a mental puzzle (fugues are puzzles), it became a construct where I could lift myself up and regain a sense of purpose. Therefore, it is invented–out of a literal need to survive–pure, genuine happiness.Future Performances: If you are interested in performing this work, please e-mail me.ABOUT THE COMPOSER: Benjamin Sajo (b. 1988) is a Canadian composer of contemporary classical music, as well as an educator. Since developing a fiercely independent creative voice upon the completion of his studies at Western (2010) and McGill Universities (2013), he continues to find inspiration from the intersection of mythology, art, and nature upon the contemporary human experience. In 2019, he released his premiere album of original music, The Great War Sextet: Canadian War Poetry with Trombone & Strings , with support from the Ontario Arts Council. He is a member of SOCAN and the League of Canadian Composers.
