Tune of the Day: Favorite Gallopade
for two flutes
This flute duet is taken from Blake's Young Flutist's Magazine, published in Philadelphia in 1833. After the title, a mysterious “Mrs. G.” is referenced, possibly a singer with whom the tune was associated at the time. Several compositions were published in the early 19th-century under the title “Favorite Gallopade”, but unfortunately we were unable to track the origins of this particular piece. If you recognize the tune, please let us know!
