Today's piece is the seventeenth study from 48 Études pour hautbois ou saxophone, composed around 1835 by German oboist and clarinetist Franz Wilhelm Ferling.
This is the fourth and last movement of a flute duet in B-flat major by the prolific Baroque composer Georg Philipp Telemann. It was first published by Telemann himself in 1727 as part of a collection of 6 flute duets, TWV 40:130-135.
Today we propose the eighth air from Italian flutist Tebaldo Monzani's Twelve Airs as Solos for a German Flute with a Violoncello or Bass Accompaniment, published in London around the year 1800.
The title of this march commemorates the Battle of Harlaw, fought in 1411 just north of Inverurie in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is popular as both a pipe and fiddle tune, and known under a few different names, including “Mac's Fancy” and “The Victor's Return” in Ireland. Despite its title, the tune only seems to date back to the mid-19th century, when it was first printed in John McLachlan's Piper's Assistant (c. 1854).
Today we propose the third piece from 24 Studi di perfezionamento per flauto, Op. 15, by Italian flutist, composer and arranger Luigi Hugues. It was first published in Milan in 1904.
Beethoven's 9th symphony is regarded by many as one of the supreme achievements in the history of music. It was the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony, as the final movement features four vocal soloists and a chorus singing lyrics adapted from Friedrich Schiller's poem “Ode to Joy”.
Many thanks go to Joyce Kai for contributing this arrangement for SSAB (2 concert flutes, alto flute, and bass flute) or SSSB quartet (3 concert flutes and bass a flute). The third flute part can be played by either a concert flute or an alto flute; separate parts are provided together with the score.
Franz Schubert composed his song cycle Winterreise (“Winter Journey”) for tenor voice and piano in 1827, a setting of 24 poems by German poet Wilhelm Müller.
The sixth song in the cycle is “Wasserflut”, usually translated as “Flood”.
Many a tear from my eyes
Has fallen into the snow;
Its cold flakes suck in
Thirstily my burning grief.
When the grass is about to sprout,
A mild wind blows,
And the ice breaks up into pieces,
And the soft snow melts away.
Thanks to Thibaut for suggesting this piece!
