Overtones Preparatory Flute Repertoire

Various

It is with great enthusiasm that The Royal Conservatory presents Overtones: A Comprehensive Flute Series. It is hoped that this groundbreaking series will address the need for a single collection of quality educational materials to foster musical development and instill appreciation of the richness and diversity of music written for flute. The series is built on the premise of nurturing well-rounded musicianship, giving teachers and students everything they would expect in a comprehensive pedagogical resource along with a chance to explore their potential, push their boundaries, and broaden their horizons. Each piece has been carefully selected to ensure an expansive representation of musical styles from all eras. Students will encounter standard repertoire from well-known composers as well as exciting contemporary works from North America and around the world.

The majority of the "Repertoire" collection comprises works originally written for flute and piano or solo flute; however, a few transcriptions of familiar melodies have been included in the series. In addition, flutists will encounter refreshing new interpretations of traditional pieces at the earliest levels and newly commissioned figured-bass realizations of Baroque pieces throughout.
