{"product_id":"various-the-sacred-flutist","title":"Various :: The Sacred Flutist","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sacred Flutist is a collection of 24 Songs and Hymns arranged for solo flute by Judy Nishimura. The perfect companion for a flutist looking for music to play at a church service, a solo gig, or just to enjoy at home. Additionally, each arrangement has retained the key signature most commonly associated with the tune, thus they can easily be used as a prelude or introduction to the same titles used during a church service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Judy Nishimura:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2019, ALRY encouraged me to write a book of Christmas solos for flute alone. I wrote it, even though I thought it an odd idea at the time, but it was well received and put the logical follow-up, a book of solo hymn arrangements suitable for the rest of church year, on the front burner for 2020. Little did I know that a terrible pandemic which would all but stifle ensemble playing for a long time, would create an urgent need for solo material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in this volume are 24 new arrangements of some of the best-loved classic hymns and spirituals. Because it’s difficult to sustain interest with a single unaccompanied wind instrument, I’ve kept the length of these pieces down to around two minutes. The arrangements generally start with an intro, move on to a moderately embellished version of the melody, then transition to a more ornate variation. I put breath markings in a few of the pieces as a suggestion only; since the player has so much latitude with tempo, I didn’t want to impose a too strict breathing guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with The Christmas Flutist book, all musical aspects of these pieces can be adjusted to suit the player’s abilities. Feel free to adjust tempos or add pauses, ornaments and flourishes as needed. Play these in church, or indeed anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlay them for yourself when you feel the need for a little solace. We can always use some of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHis Eye Is on the Sparrow\u003c\/strong\u003e — Gabriel, C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJust As I Am\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bradbury, W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTo God Be the Glory\u003c\/strong\u003e — Doane, W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLove Divine, All Loves Excelling\u003c\/strong\u003e — Prichard, R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRejoice, the Lord is King!\u003c\/strong\u003e — Darwall, J\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFairest Lord Jesus\u003c\/strong\u003e — Schlesische Volkslieder, 1842\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eI Want Jesus to Walk with Me\u003c\/strong\u003e — Traditional Spiritual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt Is Well with My Soul\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bliss, P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoftly and Tenderly\u003c\/strong\u003e — Thompson, W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor the Beauty of the Earth\u003c\/strong\u003e — Kocher, C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmazing Grace\u003c\/strong\u003e — Virginia Harmony, 1831\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBe Thou My Vision\u003c\/strong\u003e — Irish Melody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eI Love to Tell the Story\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fischer, W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eO God Beyond All Praising\u003c\/strong\u003e — Holst, G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThis Is My Father s World\u003c\/strong\u003e — English Melody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown Him with Many Crowns\u003c\/strong\u003e — Elvey, G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Old Rugged Cross\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bennard, G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMorning Has Broken\u003c\/strong\u003e — Gaelic Melody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNow the Green Blade Rises\u003c\/strong\u003e — French carol, 15th c.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLet All Things Now Living\u003c\/strong\u003e — Welsh Melody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Wondrous Love Is This\u003c\/strong\u003e — Southern Harmony, 1835\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLet Us Break Bread Together\u003c\/strong\u003e — Traditional Spiritual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn the Garden\u003c\/strong\u003e — Miles, C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWere You There\u003c\/strong\u003e — Traditional Spiritual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ALRY Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968784257318,"sku":"9790302119135","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/D009790302119135_d.jpg?v=1697519057","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/various-the-sacred-flutist","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
