Tune of the Day: Mournful Birds

 flute solo by Cheryl Cleveland-Kannianen

Today's piece was kindly contributed to our collection by its composer, Cheryl Cleveland-Kannianen.

“Mournful Birds” is a free form lament for solo flute. The title reflects the emotive nature of the collective tune. This work relies on a creative interplay of octaves, dynamics and rhythms and several repeating motifs. The piece provides a framework for dramatic interpretation and musical expression of the individual flutist.

Dr. Cheryl Cleveland-Kannianen holds degrees in Chemistry, but music has long been her therapeutic hobby; she has been an active member of various Raleigh, NC flute choirs for many years. Recently retired from a long career as a Regulatory Scientist, Cheryl is now pursuing a Music Degree at Meredith College with a focus on composition, and is excited to share one of her first solo compositions with the flute community.

Tune of the Day: Adagio by Weideman

 from Flute Sonata No. 2

Today we propose the opening Adagio from Carl Friedrich Weideman's second Sonata for flute and continuo, published around 1737.

Weideman was a German-born flutist and composer, about whom practically nothing is known prior to the year 1724, when he moved to London. Within a couple years, he became one of the city's leading flutists, and by 1750 he was flute instructor to the later king George III.

Many thanks to Federico for suggesting this piece!
