LINDISFARNE RHAPSODY, A (Flute/Prestige Concert Band Extra Score) - Sparke, Philip

Extra Score. Commissioned by Kenneth Bell, principal flute of the Central Band of the Royal Air Force, this delightful work is challenging but approachable and the perfect vehicle for your star flautist! (Grade 5) Performance time 13'31". "Good flautists will find this a good piece to add to their repertoires, as it presents different challenges to the standard solo fare. The solo line is particularly well set against the band as it rarely travels to the lower register of the flute. The work opens with an extended section of lyricism followed by skittish dance. The central ''andante con moto'' is particularly delicate before the final section heads off and ends in a thoroughly unexpected conclusion!" Winds Magazine (Recorded on QPRM129D VENETIAN SPELLS, Central Band of the Royal Air Force)
