Program Notes
A gentle lyrical waltz for Flute Choir- 4 C Flutes, Alto and Bass Flute
Valse Sentimentale is a reflective piece in ternary form, in 3/4 time and romantic in nature. It's main purpose was to reflect on shared memories of the past.
The first section is a gentle waltz in A minor which leads into a slightly quicker piu mosso section for a change of pace. After a link section a new theme begins by contrast which is in F major and takes on a barcarolle like quality but remaining in 3/4 not the traditional 6/8. The piece continues with plenty of interplay between the parts climaxing at the end of this section, before a gentle link moves the piece back to the opening theme once more.
For the conclusion, the piece brings back a short reminder of the barcarolle theme in A major to finish.
The range of the flutes is around two octaves and it is set to level 3/ intermediate but the youtube link has the full score for you to assess suitability.
There are quite a few rit/ralls and changes of tempo within the piece, so would be a very beneficial ensemble piece for musicality and following direction.
