SKU: A0.1279548

Composed by Anton Bruckner. Arranged by Simon Gilliver. 19th Century. 11 pages. Simon Gilliver #871014. Published by Simon Gilliver (A0.1279548).

This arrangement gives flute choirs the opportunity to play this glorious motet by Anton Bruckner. It is highly accessible to flute choirs of mixed ability. No parts are technically challenging; the lowest parts remain entirely within the lower registers, so players of early grade level can be included. The long melodic lines give all players an opportunity to focus on cantabile playing, and on developing a blended flute choir sound.

It is scored for 7 C flutes, and works equally well one to a part, or for a larger flute choir with parts doubled.

SKU: A0.1279558

Composed by Johannes Brahms. Arranged by Simon Gilliver. 19th Century. 24 pages. Simon Gilliver #871025. Published by Simon Gilliver (A0.1279558).

This is an arrangement of the fifth movement of Brahms's German Requiem, originally for full choir, orchestra and soprano soloist. The ethereal nature of this movement, skewed towards the upper registers, enables it to be arranged for flute choir. The soprano solo line is all within the Flute 1 part. The challenge for the ensemble is to ensure the soprano solo line in the Flute 1 part is clearly enough heard throughout, while the beautiful weaving lines of the other parts are still enjoyed. All seven parts are for C flutes; alto and bass flute are not needed, however, there are some important low Bs in the flute 7 part. Approximate difficulty level grades 5-6.
