It is scored for piccolo, four flutes in C, alto flute, bass flute and piano. It runs approximately 30-35 minutes. As for the French title, Mro Moyse says, 66I like to have the title in Frencfi. To me it is more specific and adequate than 4 Fcz77?i.dy 4#czz.#, and I think everyone will understand it in that spirit; after all, I am a Frenchman". To keep the composition truly a family affair, there is no first flute, he assures us. All parts are equally important. Interview with Mr. Moyse on Page 3.

    THE COMMISSIONED FLUTE CHOIR PIECES PRESENTED BY UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE FLUTE CHOIRS AND NFA SPONSORED FLUTE CHOIRS AT NATIONAL FLUTE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONVENTIONS WITH A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FLUTE CHOIR AND ITS REPERTOIRE DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yoon Hee Kim Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. Document Committee: Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Russel C. Mikkelson Dr. Charles M. Atkinson Karen Pierson Copyright by Yoon Hee Kim 2013 Abstract The National Flute Association (NFA) sponsors a range of non-performance and performance competitions for performers of all ages. Non-performance competitions are: a Flute Choir Composition Competition, Graduate Research, and Newly Published Music. Performance competitions are: Young Artist Competition, High School Soloist Competition, Convention Performers Competition, Flute Choirs Competitions, Professional, Collegiate, High School, and Jazz Flute Big Band, and a Masterclass Competition. These competitions provide opportunities for flutists ranging from amateurs to professionals. University/college flute choirs perform original manuscripts, arrangements and transcriptions, as well as the commissioned pieces, frequently at conventions, thus expanding substantially the repertoire for flute choir. The purpose of my work is to document commissioned repertoire for flute choir, music for five or more flutes, presented by university/college flute choirs and NFA sponsored flute choirs at NFA annual conventions. Composer, title, premiere and publication information, conductor, performer and instrumentation will be included in an annotated bibliography format. A brief history of the flute choir and its repertoire, as well as a history of NFA-sponsored flute choir (1973–2012) will be included in this document.

  • An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru
    Flute Repertoire from Japan: An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru Hayashi, and Akira Tamba D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel Ryan Gallagher, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Arved Ashby Dr. Caroline Hartig Professor Karen Pierson 1 Copyrighted by Daniel Ryan Gallagher 2019 2 Abstract Despite the significant number of compositions by influential Japanese composers, Japanese flute repertoire remains largely unknown outside of Japan. Apart from standard unaccompanied works by Tōru Takemitsu and Kazuo Fukushima, other Japanese flute compositions have yet to establish a permanent place in the standard flute repertoire. The purpose of this document is to broaden awareness of Japanese flute compositions through the discussion, analysis, and evaluation of substantial flute sonatas by three important Japanese composers: Ikuma Dan (1924-2001), Hikaru Hayashi (1931- 2012), and Akira Tamba (b. 1932). A brief history of traditional Japanese flute music, a summary of Western influences in Japan’s musical development, and an overview of major Japanese flute compositions are included to provide historical and musical context for the composers and works in this document. Discussions on each composer’s background, flute works, and compositional style inform the following flute sonata analyses, which reveal the unique musical language and characteristics that qualify each work for inclusion in the standard flute repertoire. These analyses intend to increase awareness and performance of other Japanese flute compositions specifically and lesser- known repertoire generally.

  • Info Sheet Piccolo 2 for an Article on Embouchure Holes) Should Be Used When Playing Traditional Irish Music
    STEVE TADD WOODWIND REPAIRS (.co.uk) 07734 543011 Traditional ‘Irish’ Marching Band and Session Flutes (Nov 2017) There is no such thing as a ‘traditional’ Irish Flute but there is a traditional style of playing (defined by metre, articulation, tone, and ornamentation) that is much easier to achieve on some instruments compared to others. Irish ‘Session’ Flutes These are simple system ‘concert’ flutes pitched in ‘C’ (originally used in concert bands and Orchestras) and are often used nowadays to play traditional Irish dance music. The naming system for these flutes is based on the orchestral naming system – the instrument is named according to what note is actually heard when the note referred to as ‘C’ on the instrument is played – so whether the lowest note is D or C these flutes are ‘in C’ (in contrast the note referred to as C on Tenor Sax actually sounds a Bb - so Tenor Saxes are ‘in Bb’). With study and close attention to detail the metres and articulation of traditional Irish dance music can be replicated on any Flute, it is the tone and ornamentation which is more problematic. A wooden Flute is considered to produce a more traditional tone and certainly at least a wooden head- joint (with a traditional embouchure – refer to Info sheet Piccolo 2 for an article on Embouchure holes) should be used when playing traditional Irish music. The ornamentation used in traditional Irish Flute playing ought to mimic the ornamentation used when playing the Tin whistle and Uillean pipes; not only is this different from modern Flute ornamentation but it is acoustically impossible to achieve on all but true Simple System Flutes.

  • Sarah Jackson
    January 2017 Sarah Jackson: Using the Breath Interview by Mindy Kaufman Sarah Jackson grew up in Canada and has been a professional orchestral musi- cian since the early 1990s, when she joined the flute section of the Vancouver Symphony. She has been piccoloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic for the past 13 years. We had met once during the intermission of a New York Phil- harmonic concert in LA in which the Tchaikovsky Fourth Symphony (with me on piccolo) was on the second half. This interview was done by email during October and November. MINDY KAUFMAN: Let’s start out with your first job, as second flute and later as assistant principal flute and piccolo with the Vancouver Symphony. When and why did you switch over to the piccolo, and how was the transition? SARAH JACKSON: My first professional job was as second flute with the Van- couver Symphony. I was doing postgraduate work at McGill University when I took the audition. I thought, “On one hand a job, and, on the other hand, a degree to get a job.” I took the job. I love playing second flute! I think you have to be even more flexible and intuitive than for principal flute. On second, you can be playing many different roles, or wearing dif- ferent hats as I like to call it, all within one phrase. You have to play one way when you are in unison with the first, soloistic when your line becomes more prominent, and quick on the draw if the principal decides to move the line one way or another.
