Program Notes
A fun piece with a comedic element to it. For 4 C Flutes, Alto and Bass Flute.
The Harlequin is the best-known of the comic servant characters from the Italian commedia dell'arte- popularised in Paris in the 16thc. The Harlequin is characterized by his checkered costume. Their role is that of a light-hearted, nimble, and astute servant, Harlequin inherits his physical agility and his trickster qualities, as well as his name, from a mischievous "devil" character in medieval passion plays.
This concert piece written in waltz time (almost 1 in a bar)is playful and light, and represents the characters escapades. It is in ternary for in Concert E minor with the middle section in C major before returning to the opening them and coda. It has been set to level 3/intermediate although some parts a level 2 may manage.
The whole score in on the youtube link for you to assess. Ideal for concert, recital, production, Halloween, Fantasy themes, Folklore etc. or something different to the repertoire.
