Owl Glass Music presents 'Nocturne-Lullaby' for alto flute and piano by composer Timothy Hagen. 

Owl Glass Music presents 'Reverie/Diablerie' for flute and piano by composer Timothy Hagen. 

The composer writes about this piece, 'Like many musical reveries, the first part of 'Reverie/Diablerie' wanders, seeming to cover a lot of ground yet ending expressively where it starts. Is his not us when we daydream? Our minds take us to fantastic new places and situations, where we can be anyone or do anything, all while our bodies are still. 

'The daydream ends, and we face a choice. Dare we make our daydreams into reality, or do we leave our fantasies in a make-believe-land? The Diablerie chooses to realize the Reverie's fantasies in a mischievous yet harmless way. Picture a child anticipating the delights of Halloween-- the costumes, the parties, the trick-or-treating-- the finally letting loose when the night arrives. That letting loose is precisely what the Diablerie is all about- innocuous goblin joy.' 

Using a famous gesture from Prokofiev's Sonata for Flute and Piano as a jumping-off point, this work imagines the wonder, terror, and thrill of a journey into outer space.

Sonata in C Major, by Reynaldo Hahn, arranged for Flute and Piano by Danilo Mezzadri. Venezuelan-born French composer Reynaldo Hahn composed this sonata originally for violin and piano in 1926. The Sonata starts with a lyrical movement that stylistically resembles Gabriel Fauré’s way of writing with its beautiful and expressive melodies that continuously alternate between the flute and the piano. The second movement is an absolute contrast of the mesmerizing lyricism encountered before. The title is "12 C.V. (horses) – 8 cylinders – 5000 turns", which describes a transportation vehicle that Hahn used while traveling from Deauville and Cannes Casino where he was appointed as musical director, to Paris so he could be able to attend the first performances of his work. Lastly, in the third movement Hahn  rings back the elegance and beauty of the delicate melodies enriched with a bit of fury and virtuosity.

The work features lengthy cadenzas, and exhilarating dance-like sections with the ensemble. Hailstork describes the historical inspiration: Abused in life and death, an enslaved man (Mr. Fortune) was owned by a surgeon who preserved his skeleton to study anatomy. The bones remained with the doctor’s family for generations, and were given a proper burial making national news in 2013, 215 years after Mr. Fortune’s death.

Jonty Tunes for Flute: Easy to Intermediate. Each piece explores a required technique for Flute exams grades 3 to 5.

Jonty Hall presents Passchaendale Poeme for flute and piano, in three movements.

Passchendaele is a small village five miles north-east of Ypres. The 3rd Battle of Ypres was fought there. On 18 July 1917 the Allied troops began a heavy ten day bombardment before the main attack; 3,000 guns fired over 4 million shells. The battle commenced on the 31st of July, and stretched on until November the 10th, 1917. Heavy rain began on the day of attack, producing thick mud, which caked uniforms and clogged rifles; It became so deep that men, horses and pack mules drowned in it.

The Germans, who had used chlorine gas in the 2nd Battle of Ypres, now used mustard gas which inflicted chemical burns. The offensive resulted in gains for the Allies, but it was not the great breakthrough that was hoped for. The Allies suffered 310,000 casualties, the Germans 260,000.

Just southwest of the village of Passchendaele is the Cemetery and Memorial - Tyne Cot. It is the resting place of 11,954 Commonwealth soldiers and is the largest Commonwealth military cemetery in the world. The Tyne Cot Memorial is a long wall which carries the names of 34,863 British soldiers who have no known grave.

Pals battalions became synonymous with the towns of northern Britain. Men enlisted because they could serve alongside their friends, relatives and workmates.

Hermann Haller presents the Piece en forme de fantaisie for flute and piano.

The three interconnected movements of the Piece begin with a measureless flute monologue, with a quiet piano interlude in the center of the first movement. The second movement begins with a playful (yet dark)Poco allegro, though it, too, descends into measureless fantasia. The third movements marks a stronger return into strict Allegro, and the piece ends with a strong rhythmic drive.

For advanced players.
