This is the second movement of a sonata for 3 flutes in A major by the prolific French Baroque composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. It was first published in Paris in 1725.
This is the opening movement of Jean-Daniel Braun's Flute Sonata in E minor, which was published in Paris in 1740, two years after the death of the composer, together with his Pièces sans basse.
Today's tune is taken from a collection kindly donated to us by piper Roddy Campbell from the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. This fast jig was composed by his son, Rory. You can listen to the author playing it on the pipes here.
Today's piece is the tenth study from 48 Études pour hautbois ou saxophone, composed around 1835 by German oboist and clarinetist Franz Wilhelm Ferling.
This slow Allemande is the opening movement of a sonata for 3 flutes in A major by the prolific French Baroque composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. It was first published in Paris in 1725.
Today we propose the opening movement from a sonata for violin and basso continuo in D major, HWV 371, composed by George Frideric Handel around 1750. Handel's manuscript bears the indication “afetuoso”, a misspelling of the Italian affettuoso meaning “affectionate” or “tender”.
The first appearance of this jig is, without a title, in George Petrie's Collection of the Ancient Music of Ireland, published between 1855 and 1882. The title “The Humors of Trim” is first found in Francis O'Neill's Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1903. Nowadays the tune is often referred to as “The Rolling Waves”, a name that is however shared by multiple traditional melodies.
