Full Orchestra - Digital Download SKU: A0.903781 Composed by Alan Edgar (music), Ann Liles (Lyricist, and from traditional story). 20th Century,Children. Score and parts. 151 pages. Alan Edgar Ted Moon #6563893. Published by Alan Edgar Ted Moon (A0.903781). A story for children of all ages. In 2001 flute magazine Pan had an appeal from Richard Stagg for more octotonic music, and at the same time I felt there was a dearth of good story-telling music for children. Pied Piper of Hamelin was composed for Hessle Sinfonia, who performed it twice with their principal flute, Michael Taylor as soloist and the lyricist Ann Liles narrating, under my baton. Richard Sleight was soloist in the Isle of Axholme Symphony Orchestra's later performance. Show off the versatility and beauty of the flute and entrance the audience (!).There are characteristic themes for the children, the river, the mountain, the pied piper and the rats, variously combined.
