<p>An original composition scored for six flutes: four flutes in C, alto flute, and bass flute. It is a three-minute piece at the intermediate level, although some parts are in the early intermediate range. Written in concert D minor with the range of around two octaves; flute 1 has top G once. It is a concert piece that will provide a bit of fun as well as something different. It will work well for concerts, recitals, and productions as well as for Christmas, Halloween, and fantasy themes and concepts.</p>

<p>Jacaranda is a very tall tree with a purple bloom native to South America. This tree lines the streets of Buenos Aires, considered by many to be the birthplace of the Argentinian tango. Scored for flute, clarinet, bassoon, and piano, this original tango has two main sections: a passionate and animated section that clearly states the rhythms associated with the tango followed by a contrasting, more wistful romantic middle section with Cuban habanera elements from which the tango is derived. The piece returns to the first section for its conclusion. Wide dynamic contrasts and heavy accents along with legato and staccato phrasing provide melodic and rhythmic interest. In concert C minor with the middle section in C major. Duration c. 4:40.</p>

Night-Time in New York

Saxophone Solo

A Glimpse of Heaven is a gentle, lyrical composition. I wanted the piece to be simple but full of grace and charm with a strong melodic line which can be shared among the instruments its written for. It commences with an 8 bar introduction leading into the main theme which develops across the instruments. At the end of this section there is a change to an unrelated key which offers an interesting harmonic direction. This brings in new motifs and ideas taking It to a climax, before returning to the main theme having a slightly different treatment. The piece ends very gently as it fades to a whisper.

I have set it to Intermediate level based upon key and range, but an early intermediate player may be ok with it. It is 4.45 minutes in length and the whole score is on the youtube link for you to assess suitability

It would be ideal for church services- procession, reflection, contemplation, communion, registry signing etc or indeed as a concert or recital piece.

Price is for the Full score and all parts.

Valse Sentimentale

Piano Sheet Music

This is the 1st prelude from Bach's legendary 48 preludes and fugues. It is the most famous not only as a beautiful piece but forming the basis for Gounod's Ave Maria setting.

This arrangement has been kept very simple-only really using quavers. I have put fingering throughout as well as dynamics, and suggested optional pedal, although none is required.

Should be suitable for many people wanting an easy version of this classic.

The score is 3 pages long and the youtube link provides you with the full score so you can assess the suitability.
Great for concerts, Recitals, Weddings etc as well as providing material for repertoire as well as having a beautiful piece to play.

  complicated rhythm.

The Willow Tree

Flute Duet

Scored for 4 C Flutes, this is a very regal, stately piece in 4/4 time in ternary form- rather dance- like, what you may expect in the 16th century England. It is intended to be a very graceful lyrical piece which has lots of legato lines, but punctuated at places by some delicate articulation in the accompanying parts.

Witten in concert E minor- the outset is is modal and reflects a medieval character. The middle sections is in C major before returning to E minor with a small coda to round things off. The parts are fairly well equally shared the top not is top E.
On the whole the standard is about early intermediate level- possibly intermediate depending on the players ability.

However the whole score is on the youtube link for you to assess suitability. Lovely to add to the repertoire or concert, recital, contest, wedding, event etc.
It is 4 mins 25 in length.

Price is for the full score and parts.

Tango

The most popular Tango in Argentina Published and premiered in
  1903.
    
    This famous Tango by Villoldo has had many variations, arrangements and
  recordings during its life, but here if is arranged for 2 Clarinets with
  piano accompaniment. There is nothing more complicated than sixteenths and
  eighths and the range is 2 octaves with the highest note being top E. 
    
    I have tried to keep the Clarinet parts equal in terms of length and
  complexity so there is no no1 and no2.
    
    It has been put at early intermediate level but the YouTube link has the
  whole score for you to assess suitability. It is around 3 mins in
  length.
    
    It would work very well for concerts/recitals, show and productions, as

Clarinet Quartet

The name Nocturne (meaning "of the night") was originally an ensemble piece in the 18th century in several movements used for for evening parties. Later In the 19thc it's one movement form, it was adopted by John Field and later popularised by Chopin. It generally has a tranquil lyrical melody and is very romantic and expressive.

I have tried to keep these elements in this Nocturne. Written here for Flute and Clarinet Duet with Piano, the parts are equally divided. Highest note top G flute (once). It is written in the key of concert C minor it has a very gentle opening with harmonies evolving around a cycle of 5th's in places. The piece has three definite sections- the lyrical melody to begin with, a middle section building to a climax before a return to the 1st section. This is followed by a transitional contrasting section (poco piu mosso) wandering through a few keys to settle on an "inner pedal" tonic note chime. Gentle chords restore the opening once more- this opening theme climaxes towards the end and a gentle reflection of the opening bars concludes the piece.

 It is 4 mins 20 in length and the Price is for the full score and parts.

I have set it to intermediate level, but the youtube link has the full score for you to assess suitability.

Versions for Flute Duet, Violin Duet and Solo Piano are also available.

Nocturne

Flute/Clarinet Duet

I wanted this piece to convey the feeling of the shared warmth of having family and friends meeting over the festive season when everything is done, and now it’s time to enjoy!

Written in Concert C major the introduction begins with a bell- like Christmas chime settling into the main theme which is almost like a verse and chorus. The piece has two of these sections with a link between the two. The second section is a different treatment to the first as some of the bell like figurations of the opening are incorporated. There is also a mix of staccato and legato phrasing to give contrast. The Chorus part is repeated before a short quiet reflective ending.

The range is two octaves at most and there is nothing more complicated than an eighth note- hence it has been set in early intermediate level. I wanted 2 equal instrumental parts. The whole piece is on the youtube link for you to assess suitability. Ideal to be added to a Christmas concert list!

3min 15 in length. Price is for score and parts.

Violin Duet

Footprints in the sand in a reflective piece in triple time and is a combination of a lyrical waltz and a romantic film theme tune. It is intended to give the listener an opportunity to allow their mind to wander freely on to perhaps a future event, a happy memory, a special person or occasion, a special moment in time or just contemplative thoughts.

The piece starts gently (almost minuet like), then builds to a larger waltz theme in the middle in the relative minor. The middle section quietens again, and rhythmic fragments of the 1st section are shared between all instruments. On recap the opening theme is played this time on the piano, and had sustained chords and fragments interweaving, until the waltz theme returns- this time in the Tonic major.

The piece concludes with the gentler section again with a final statement of the theme before whispering away. Overall, I have set it to intermediate level, but lots of areas are quite managable for lower levels.

Onthe youtube link there is the full score for you to assess suitability. Ideal piece for concerts, recitals, church services etc It is around 5 minutes in length.

Price is for the full score and parts

Footprints in the sand

Flute, Clarinet, Piano Trio

Juliet's Waltz (named after Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet" to depict innocence, grace and charm) It is romantic in nature- originally intended as a piece for classical ballet, however it was decided on a concert piece.

It is written in the key of G minor for the first two sections. The first time through the flute and clarinet have the melody and the second time the piano takes the melody whilst the flute and clarinet embellishes the theme. After a short link it arrives in G major and the same format takes place with variations of the embellishments before a small coda section to finish.

I wanted the piece to sound through-composed with just the two sections. It is also more of a duet between the instruments and piano, all sharing the material. Would make a lovely concert piece or addition to the repertoire. It is 4 minutes long -Intermediate level, but the whole score is on the youtube link for you to assess suitability.

Price is for the Score and parts.
