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

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.
