Program Notes
The Nightingale. A lyrical Barcarolle with Medieval Tones for Flute Duet and Piano
"The Nightingale" for Flute duet and Piano is in Barcarolle tempo and in ternary form. (Clarinet duet, flute and clarinet duet, and violin duet versions are also available)
Written in concert G minor, I wanted the lilting tempo in the outer sections to have a medieval minor tone, to work with the contrasting major section in the middle.
I very much wanted it to be a flute duet rather than flute 1 and flute 2, so the parts are pretty equally divided. It is romantic in nature, but uses modes and has a few interesting harmonies.
The whole score is on the youtube link for you to assess suitabilty.
It is placed at level 3 about associated board grade 4/5- dotted quaver semiquaver is the most complicated rhythm),and would be very suitable for concerts, contests, recitals, weddings as well as an incidental piece.
