Tune of the Day: Andante from Brandenburg Concerto No. 4

 by Johann Sebastian Bach, arranged for flute trio

Today we present the central movement of J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 4, a slow 3/4-time Andante in E minor. The original work features a violin and two recorders playing against a string ripieno, but here we have adapted the score so that the piece could be played by three flutes.

Tune of the Day: Walk Out of it Hogan

 Traditional Irish jig

The earliest known appearance of this jig is in Francis O'Neill's collection Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1903. A nearly identical version, presented as an untitled jig collected from a “Mrs. Close”, can be found in George Petrie's The Complete Collection of Irish Music (London, 1905).

The tune is related to “Helvic Head” from O'Farrell's Pocket Companion for the Irish or Union Pipes, 1806.

Tune of the Day: Adagio by Telemann

 from Canonic Sonata for Two Flutes No.1

This Adagio is the second movement of Georg Philipp Telemann's first Canonic Sonata. In this instance, the word canonic means “in the manner of a canon”; that is, the two players play the exact same melody, but one measure apart.

Remember that, since this is a Baroque piece, trills should be played beginning on the note above the one indicated. In this case, it is also nice to end the trills by playing the note below the one indicated, followed by the note itself; for instance, to trill a D, you could play E-D-E-D-E-D-C-D. Just be careful to add the appropriate accidentals!

Tune of the Day: The Sorcerer's Apprentice

 Theme from “L'apprenti sorcier” by Paul Dukas
Mickey Mouse

“The Sorcerer's Apprentice” (original French title “L'apprenti sorcier”) is a symphonic poem composed by Paul Dukas in 1897. It was inspired by Goethe's 1797 poem of the same name (“Der Zauberlehrling” in German).

Although Dukas's musical piece, first published in 1897, was already quite well known and popular, it was made particularly famous by its inclusion in the 1940 Walt Disney animated film Fantasia, in which Mickey Mouse plays the role of the apprentice. The popularity of the musical piece in Fantasia caused it to be used again in Fantasia 2000.

Perhaps the best-known Mickey Mouse short after Steamboat Willy, The Sorcerer's Apprentice tells the story of Goethe's famous poem, which is a story of wizard's meek assistant who attempts to work some of the magical feats of his master, before he knows how to properly control them. Interestingly, the sorcerer's anger with his apprentice, which appears in Fantasia, does not appear in the Goethe source poem

Tune of the Day: The Kilfinane Jig

 Traditional Irish jig

This jig is taken from Francis O'Neill's collection Dance Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1907. Musician Paul de Grae writes that it is likely O'Neill obtained the jig from artist George Petrie's (1790–1866) manuscript collection, where it can be found as an untitled jig obtained from another collector, Patrick Weston Joyce (1827–1914), who in turn had it “from D. Cleary, Kilfinane” (a small town in County Limerick). The settings are close but not identical, perhaps the result of a reworking by Francis O'Neill's transcriber and collaborator, James O'Neill.
