Sonatina #3 is built around the idea of Frames. 
   The First movement is Daffodils because of a framed painting of daffodil flowers by my Great Grandmother.  I use a little motivic idea that is both rhythmically and musically saying 'daffodil' to create this movement.  The flute part is very steady and the piano part adds a lot of contrast in harmony.   It's different and I really like it.   The flute part is a narrow range of low g to high g and the form is ABA.  
   The Second movement is the traditional Sonata Allegro form.  Several years ago I composed some hymns to submit for a church hymnbook revision.  I used the basic harmonies and some melodic elements of those hymns as the primary and secondary themes in this movement.  The flute part flows in a remarkably narrow range from third space c up to high g and is set in the Key of E-flat.     The piano part is FAST, so it needs a good player.    
  The Third movement incorporates glissandos and is all about the Body as a Frame.  I used Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes as inspiration but it doesn't sound like it at all!   The piano has fun rhythm in it.  It's a fun, short movement also set in the Key of E-flat.  The range is low f to high g.
Please listen to the recording and enjoy!

Sonatina #3

Flute Solo

Many flutists have someone in their family who can play the primary songs
  or hymns.  'I Will Walk With Jesus' is
  the lovely primary song by Stephen P Schank.  
  The accompaniment for it can be found in the Feb. 2020 Children's
  Friend magazine p. 27 from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
  Saints.  This does not imply an
  endorsement.
    
    
    
    I absolutely love this arrangement. 
  I hear and feel the words in my mind and heart when I play it.   It covers all three verses, including
  playing during the introduction, interlude and ending.  Range is low C to High F.   First verse flute plays melody until the
  chorus, then it goes into a gentle counter-melody.  Second verse is mostly melody.  Third verse starts with counter melody,
  goes to melody at the chorus and then weaves in and out of it for the rest of
  the song.

Practical and Pretty:#19 I Will
  Walk With Jesus

Voice

I'm a flutist AND a pianist. Not long ago, a friend was asked to sing a
  Christmas musical number at church. She wanted to do Silent Night and
  couldn't find a basic solo for it that was pretty.   I cobbled together an accompaniment and we
  made it work. It happened that I'd been creating a Flute Performance Obligato
  with Silent Night for one of my students. After that Christmas Season, I
  started working on a flute solo of Silent Night and created one that I would
  enjoy playing, and then created a simpler flute part that one of my students
  could do. It's not a duet, just the same accompaniment with two different
  levels of skill for the soloist.   I
  remembered my vocalist friend and wondered if I could adjust the
  accompaniment to work for a singer. This is the result. The vocal part is the
  simple, tender melody we love.
    
    
    
     The vocal accompaniment is less
  complicated than my flute solo, but uses many of the same ideas.  
    
    
    
    This starts in the key of B-flat and changes to the Key of C.   Range for the vocalist is b-flat below
  middle c to 5th line treble F.   The
  vocal part is just melody and could be sung in any language.   The piano part is flowing and reverently
  happy

Silent Night

Medium High Solo

The first movement of Sonatina #2 'Ancestors' is about leaving the homeland.   I took the theme and developed it into a flute choir piece.   4 flutes, alto and bass.   It has an introduction and then ABA format.  I think my favorite part is the B section where the alto flute plays a subtle, driving rhythm and then puts in a 'drop' as we return to the A theme.

Theme From Sonatina #2  Ancestors

Flute Ensemble

This beautiful Easter arrangement is for string ensemble. I wrote it for a string group that included experienced players as well as string players that had started only two weeks before. Parts included are: Score, Experienced Violin, New Violin, Melody Violin, Second Violin, Viola, New Cello and Experienced Cello. When my string group performed it, the bass player doubled the experienced VC. We also repeated the music and had the experienced violin part wait until the second time to play. This is the string friendly key of D. Both the new cello and new violin parts mostly rely upon open strings and the first note up from that. This is the perfect way for multiple leveled groups to play an Easter song together. Enjoy!

He is Risen

Violin, Viola, Cello Ensemble

This traditional Christmas hymn has been arranged for flute and piano.  The flute range is low d to high e with an optional high g.  It's gentle.  I tried to keep it 'wondering' and so very sweet.  The chorus has always seemed too short me, so I doubled the length of the Hosanna section.  Please listen to the recording and enjoy adding this arrangement to your performance repertoire.

With Wondering Awe

This gorgeous arrangement is for early advanced flute and early advanced
  piano. The flute is usually the melody, but in the second verse plays a quiet
  countermelody to the piano.  This
  contains both the flute solo music and the accompaniment.
    
    
    
    There are three verses to this and the key change going into the third
  verse is absolutely lovely. I wrote an additional melody to the song that is
  used in the 2nd and 3rd verses instead of the traditional middle part. The
  flute part briefly reaches up to a high A.    
  
    
    
    
    When people have heard this arrangement the top comments they say are
  'beautiful and peaceful' and 'I really liked when you changed keys'.  Makes me happy!
    
    
    
    Please listen to the recording. You'll love it

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

Format

This beautiful arrangement of Silent Night is rich in texture.  I think of it as having starlight or lamplight flowing around the classic Silent Night carol.
Play it simply and let it touch your heart.

Piano Sheet Music

This flute and piano arrangement has a lovely piano countermelody at the beginning and then the flute plays the first and second verses against it- but not the chorus.  We don't get a chorus until the third verse and then WOW.  The flute goes up to the high G  with 'He Lives.'   And while holding that G, the piano plays the rest of the sentence.  It's a statement of testimony.

Flutists will need a gorgeous high g and the piano part has lots of arpeggios and chords.

It's a lovely and satisfying setting of the hymn 'I Know That My Redeemer Lives.'

Please listen to the mp3.  The flute is real, but the piano is computer.  When I'm able to get a recording with an acoustic accompanist, I'll substitute it in.    In the meantime, it will help you know what it sounds like.   Enjoy!

I Know That My Redeemer Lives

Flute Solo with Piano

This arrangement is  a lyrical 3/4 time version of the hymn.  It starts in the Key of A major and transitions to the Key of D and then G.  The flute range is low c# to high g.    First verse is flute melody.  Second verse is piano melody with a flute line weaving through it.  Third verse is flute melody again with an extra chorus.  I especially like the extra chorus.   You can 'sing' your heart with your flute on  this.    Please listen to the recording.

Secret Prayer

This is my 'go to' arrangement for a quick musical number. Accompanied
  straight out of the Children's Song Book from the Church of Jesus Christ of
  Latter-Day Saints. This is not an endorsement by the Church.
    
    
    
    My students call this 'flutey' and all of them have loved it. It always
  works. The range is low C to High D. It works for Sacrament Meeting, Baptisms
  and Firesides. You might want it just for personal enjoyment!

Practical and Pretty: #3 I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus

This lovely piano solo of the Swedish folk tune 'Children of the Heavenly
  Father' has been changed from 3/4 to 4/4.  
  It is lyrical and set for a good upper intermediate player.  Please listen to the recording.

Children Of Our Heavenly Father

This wonderful Sonatina is in 3 movements for the intermediate
  flutist.  It was a finalist for the
  2022 New Voices for Young Flutists competition.  Set in the band friendly Key of B-flat
  major, Movement 1 is a Classical Sonata Allegro Form with an accessible flute
  part and a piano part that makes if BIG!  
  It's called 'Clockworks' because of the type of clock sounds used,
  especially in the piano part. The range for the flutist is Low A to High
  D.    Movement 2 is called 'Time for
  Caring.'  I wrote the melody I wanted
  to play.  It's lovely and makes you
  want to develop an even more beautiful sound. 
  It's range is Low F to High D with a fast scale going from Low F up to
  mid B-flat.   This is also in the Key
  of B-flat.   The 3rd Movement is also
  in the Key of B-flat.  I called it
  'Time to Grow.'  It's rhythm is in 8/8,
  usually divided into 3+3+2, although there are a few measures where it is
  easier for the flutist to think of it in 1+2+3+4+.   It has a lot of drive in the rhythm and I
  think has a Broadway kind of sound, as if people were moving and walking
  across a busy stage while singing.  I'm
  uploading a recording of a student playing this.   The piano part is much more
  challenging.  Each of these movements
  is accessible, musical, interesting and when paired with the accompaniment a
  full ensemble kind of sound.   Enjoy!

Sonatina of Time

.This simple musical number has two verses and is for flute and
  piano.  I wrote it for a good
  intermediate flute and piano level so that if a teenager and friend wanted to
  do a musical number together, they could.
    
    
    
    The original song is so lovely, and this arrangement stays true to
  that.  Please listen to the
  recording.
    
    
    
    Enjoy!

My Heavenly Father Loves Me

Another useful obligato set for the church flutist.  This has 3 verses.  Verse one is a lower range melody.  Verses two and three are middle to upper
  middle in range and only the 3 measures of eighth notes at the end of the
  third verses provide any difficulty. 
    
    
    
    This is VERY accessible for a beginning or younger flutist to play with a
  primary choir or for her family.

Practical and Pretty: #13 My Mother Dear

This lovely arrangement of the hymn 'Love One Another' is for two flutes
  and organ manual.  First flute goes up
  to high G and takes a more advanced player. 
  The second flute part is written for early intermediate or
  higher.  
    
    
    
    I wrote the flute part that I wanted to play and I absolutely love the
  first flute part.  But, the strength of
  the other parts makes it even better.

As I Have Loved You

This series of musical obligatos is designed for my flute students and people
just like them -YOU!
In each Performance Obligato' I will include something for both the
younger flutist and those with a bit more experience.
While these are intended for a specific audience of members of The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the arranger does not imply
endorsement by the Church. Each accompaniment is straight out of the
hymn book or primary book.

For the Beauty of the Earth (Practical and Pretty #5) There are 4 obligatos in this set. The first verse (letter A) is a harmony part
with a rhythm that goes with the melody. The second verse (letter B) goes
up to high E and has a repeating rhythmic gesture. The third verse (letter C)
is lyrical and goes up to a high E. The fourth verse (letter D) is a lot like
letter C, but has more movement. The fourth verse is my favorite.
If you do not have an LDS hymnal, but your hymnbook has For the Beauty
of the Earth' in the key of G, this should work for you


Come Ye Thankful People (Practical and Pretty #11).  There are 4 obligatos in this set. The first verse (letter A) has a range of low
F to middle G. The second verse (letter B) is upper middle register to high
D. It is flowing and I absolutely love it! The third verse (letter C) is rising
up into the higher register. Less complicated rhythms but goes up to high F.
The fourth verse (letter D) is a lot like the third verse but with more flowing
rhythms. Explore both and select between them for a performance.
This is set in the Key of F, so if you have it in another hymnal but in the
same key it should probably work.

Practical and Pretty Performance Obligato for Church Flutists- Thanksgiving Set

A lovely, gentle arrangement for flute and piano.  Any level flutist can play this but the
  pianist needs to be comfortable with rich harmonies.  Very suitable for sacrament meeting.

How Gentle God's Commands

This lovely arrangement for flute and piano has three verses.  The first verse is flute in the lower
  register.  Second verse is a tender and
  flowing obligato.  I love it!!!!!  The third verse reaches up to High G and is
  melody.     Starting in the key of
  B-flat, this arrangement modulates to C major.
    
    
    
    I especially like the second verse. 
  It has the piano with the melody and the intermediate flute playing a
  flowing melodic line that is both tender and 'flutey'.  
    
    
    
    This arrangement is both tender and rejoicing.  Somehow when I was writing it, I felt it to
  be both holy and happy.  It's a lovely
  new sound for this most important of all Christmas hymns.  I believe it will become a staple of your
  flute Christmas repertoire.
    
    
    
    Purchase of this includes the solo part, the piano accompaniment and a
  bonus of the younger flute part.
    
    
    
    Please listen to the recording.

Flute Score

This beautiful arrangement for upper intermediate flute and advanced
  piano has been enjoyed by flutists year after year. The flute goes down to
  low C and up to high F.  The piano is
  intermediate until the ending, when the rich chording requires an early
  advanced  level.  It is gorgeous and rich.  2 Verses.  
  Contains the Piano Score and the Flute solo.  Please listen to the recording.  You'll love it!
