Flute Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.486137 Composed by Matthew Nunes. Classical,Contemporary. Individual part. 6 pages. Matthew Nunes Music #104578. Published by Matthew Nunes Music (A0.486137). Listen to this piece hereRæswian is a piece especially composed for Danielle Giguere, a flute player and music educator I met at the University of Central Florida, as a personal thank you for her generous donation to my “Get Matt to Maryland� Rally via rally.org. Ræswian is an Anglo-Saxon word meaning to deeply ponder and analyze a subject through various viewpoints. I have known Danielle for a few years now and the dynamic of our relationship has altered over time. For the primary material of this work I used the first three notes of a melody I composed for her a few years earlier. I freely work through this material in an old folk-song like manner to explore how differently its intervallic patterns can be perceived. It is a work that I hope evokes one to analyze all possibilities before making an assumption. - Matthew Nunes Orlando, August 2013.

Flute Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1007583 Composed by Daniel A. Walzer. Contemporary,Jazz,Latin,World. Individual part. 5 pages. Daniel A. Walzer #3450821. Published by Daniel A. Walzer (A0.1007583). Written for Tammy Evans Yonce in 2017, Partido Alto e Bembe for Solo Flute is a composition that explores two ostinatos or repeating rhythmic patterns, drawn from Brazilian Samba and Afro-Cuban music. The Brazilian percussionist Airto Moreira popularized the Partido Alto rhythm (on a composition appropriately titled Partido Alto) on his 1979 album Touching You, Touching Me, with vocalist Flora Purim. Partido Alto has a combination of accented and unaccented rhythms lasting two measures, which can be performed at varying tempos and include playful improvisation. Similarly, the Bembe feel has roots in Afro-Cuban music and is often performed alongside other polyrhythms simultaneously.As a jazz percussionist, I experienced these rhythms up close on two trips to Brazil in 2005 and 2008. I was struck by the dynamism, openness, and spirit of these rhythms-much like the Brazilian culture. In addition to the playful ostinatos, this piece features some jazz harmonic structures, varying time signatures, and lots of room for the performer to have fun and bring out the expressive qualities of the flute.
