3 Dances (Nutcracker Suite)
Tchaikovsky, P

These arrangements of three dances from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite for flute quartet included the Miniature Overture, the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and the Dance of the Reed Pipes.

Miniature Overture - A lively and intricate arrangement of the opening movement from The Nutcracker Suite. The inclusion of 2 piccolos helps to capture the 'miniature' character of the music, and the various tunes swap cheekily between the parts making it great fun to play and to listen to.

Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy - The unusual combination of 3 piccolos and bass flute makes for an amusing and effective arrangement of this well-known dance from The Nutcracker Suite.

Dance of the Reed Pipes - The most flutey movement from The Nutcracker Suite in a brand new arrangement in the original key with the alto flute taking on the role of the pizzicato lower strings and the rich cor-anglais.
