Program Notes
Rachmaninoff's Etudes Tableaux are two sets of piano etudes.  These are “picture pieces,” intended to be studies in musical composition focused on a variety of themes.  Each etude explores a distinct scene left to the listener’s interpretation.   

Op. 33 No. 4, Moderato – This march begins and ends with an open fifth echo-like motif.  As the movement progresses, it gains more textural and harmonic complexity.   

Op. 39 No. 8, Allegro Moderato – This lyrical piece has long legato melodies, requiring precision and agility from the performer.   

Op. 39 No. 4, Allegro Assai – Filled with harmonic color and interweaved motives, this gavotte is pointed and energetic.   

Op 39 No. 7, Lento Lugubre – Slow and laborious, the funeral march is dense with emotion, ending with a glorious bell-like theme.   

Op. 33 No. 6, Allegro con Fuoco - “The Fair” is exuberant in its rhythm and harmony.  The fanfare motifs have a jubilant energy.   

Instrumentation
Flute Quintet -
2 Flutes
2 Alto Flutes
1 Bass Flute.

Adaptation of the famous fugue from the Toccata and Fugue BWV 565 in D minor from Johann-Sebastian Bach.

The piece has been transposed to G minor for better usage of the flute sound.

The transcription can be played by 2 to 4 C flutes and one alto (G) flute. It also fits well to a flute choir with Alto Flutes (no bass or contrabass flute needed). Parts can be played by intermediate level musicians.

Downloaded file contains score as well as separate parts.

Peer Gynt, Op. 23 is the incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play of the same name, written by the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg in 1875. It premiered along with the play on 24 February 1876 in Christiania (now Oslo).

Later, in 1888 and 1891, Grieg extracted eight movements to make two four-movement suites: Suite No. 1, Op. 46, and Suite No. 2, Op. 55. Some of these movements have received coverage in popular culture; see Grieg's music in popular culture.

This aria is arranged for Flute Choir Quintet (2 Flutes; 2 Alto Flutes and Bass Flute) .

The Duration is approx. 3.19 minutes and the level is Advanced Intermediate.

This contemporary piece for flute choir is slightly unsettling and a little eerie in a drifty, floating way. The piece should be performed with no feeling of time or pulse. All five flute parts are of equal importance, and the piece can be scaled to accommodate any increment of five flutes: 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. In larger numbers, the total number of players does not need to be divisible by five, as the mass effect will cover any shortage of one flute on a part.

This movement from Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 has become the iconic music depicting a tranquil morning anywhere. It has been used in movies, cartoons and just about anywhere a an idyllic, pastoral mood is needed. What better to present this music than flutes.
Morning Mood is here presented for a flute quintet comprised of 2 C flutes, 2 alto flutes and a bass flute. This mixture allows for some differing timbres to highlight the flavors in the piece. It would be an appropriate piece on just about any venue, offering both technical and melodic challenges for all players.

The very beautiful Allegri Miserere, on Psalm 51, which could be the finest piece of music ever written. Originally for 2 choirs, this arrangement is for 4 Flutes and Bass Flute, or 3 Flutes, Alto Flute and Bass Flute. It was the property of the Vatican, and the story goes that it only came to public appreciation when Mozart heard it and wrote it down.

Duration: 5 minutes

Canon (Pachelbel) (Bb) (Flute Quintet) - Advanced/Intermediate - Digital Download. This selection, Johann Pachelbel's celebrated Canon, is perhaps the most famous canon ever written and has been one of my favorite compositions to arrange. A canon is a polyphonic device in which several voices play the same music, entering in sequence. Pachelbel's Canon, was originally written in the key of D Major and was scored for three violins arranged in canon, accompanied by a basso continuo which repeats the same harmonic progression throughout the entire piece. The common musical term for this is ostinato or ground bass. Regis Bookshar has now arranged this music for a Flute Quintet. Three Flutes play the melody in canon while the ostinato accompaniment is played by the other two Flutes. This arrangement is suitable for high school and college students but could also be performed by professional performers. It is perfect for concerts and church services, especially for Weddings, but could be performed for any occasion. Included are a score and a complete set of parts (26 pages). This version is written in the key of Bb Major, to make it a little easier for some younger performers, but another version is also available in the key of D Major if you would prefer. Other versions of Pachelbel's Canon have also been arranged by Regis Bookshar and are available for a wide variety of instrumental Quintets and Octets, in both the keys of D Major and Bb Major. I think that String players would probably prefer to play the versions in the key of D Major while the Brass and Woodwind musicians might prefer to play the Bb Major versions. I hope you take the time to compare the different versions to find the right version for you. To help you decide which version, or versions, you may want to choose, I have included several musical samples for you to listen to and to hear what these arrangements may sound like and so that you may compare the various arrangements. Also, just to let you know, the Octets written in the key of Bb Major have full-length recordings while the Octets in D Major and all Quintets have only the first 25 measures, or so, available to hear. Please feel free to search for other arrangements by Regis Bookshar which are also available. There are quite a few other arrangements in a variety of styles and I'm certain you will find something else which might interest you as well. Please keep checking because I plan to continue to add new arrangements as often as I can. I'm certain that this exciting arrangement of Pachelbel's Canon will be a challenge to some performers but will continue to entertain both performers and audiences alike for years to come.
