The second movement of Handel's Sonata in C major for recorder and continuo is in 3/8 time. With its 132 bars, it is among the longest movements of the Opus 1 sonatas.
This 9/8-time jig is taken from O'Neill's collection The Dance Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1907. “Aisy” is just an old form of the word “easy”, still used by a lot of people in Ireland.
The tune is almost certainly a descendant of a Scottish air and dance tune known as “Woo'd and Married and a'”, dating back to the early 18th century.
This piece, to be played “a little bit agitated, but well-phrased”, is the twenty-seventh étude from Sigfried Karg-Elert's 30 Caprices: a “Gradus ad Parnassum” of the modern technique for flute solo.
This is the fourth duet from La scuola del flauto (The School of the Flute) by Italian composer and arranger Luigi Hugues.
Thanks to Paolo for contributing this piece!
As the name says, this fourteenth movement is the grand finale of Saint-Saëns's most famous work, Le Carnaval des Animaux. This piece can be heard in the animated Disney film Fantasia 2000, in which a flock of flamingos is annoyed by another flamingo playing with a yo-yo and attempt to make him fall into step with their dance routines. It is important to observe that, although the melody of the Finale is relatively simple, the supporting harmonies which show up in the original arrangement are heavily ornamented with dazzling scales, glissandi and trills.
Thanks to Luis for suggesting this piece!
The earliest appearance of this slip jig is in Chicago Police captain Francis O'Neill's collection Music of Ireland, published in 1903. Quite suitably, the tune is also known as “There is No Milk in the House”.
Today we propose étude No. 15 from Italian flutist and composer Ernesto Köhler's 25 Romantic Studies, Op. 66. You should give the impression that this piece is played by two flutists, one playing the melodic phrase and the other playing the accompaniment.
