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.

Chapter 1: Introduction and Literature Review

There is no standard instrumentation for the flute choir. The flute choir/orchestra has

been defined by the Flute World company in their catalog, as an ensemble of five or more

flutes.1 Any number of flutists playing any member of the flute family singly or in

multiples, and different combinations, categorizes the flute choir. Other instruments

sometimes are added to compliment the ensemble.

The National Flute Association was established in 1972, with the first convention held in

Anaheim, California in August of 1973. From the first convention, flute ensembles took

center stage. The first Saturday night closing concert consisted entirely of flute ensemble works. The concert ended with numerous convention participants performing an arrangement for four flute parts and piano by James Christensen of the famous Air from J.S. Bach's Suite No. 3 in D.2 Founding member and past president

Walfrid Kujala says that “It was a very effective arrangement, and the performance was

so incredibly moving that it was decided that all future conventions should program the

Bach in their closing ceremonies conducted by the outgoing president."3 This

arrangement was the first of what would become many new arrangements and pieces

commissioned to be performed at NFA conventions. What began with seventy-six

flutists in 1973 has grown to an association of more than six-thousand flutists worldwide in 2012, forty years later. Flute choirs and ensembles have been an integral part of annual NFA conventions, bringing flutists from amateurs through professionals to conventions.

In 1975 the NFA board established four new competitions for the convention in Atlanta in 1976: Young Artist Competition, High School Flute Choir Competition, Newly

Published Music Competition, and Masterclass Performers Competition.4 (See Figure 1)

The NFA Board began commissioning a piece for the Young Artist Competition in

1986.5 The High School Soloist Competition was established in 1987. In 1989 the NFA Board began commissioning a piece to be played at the semi-final round of this competition as well.6 (See Figure 1)

Figure 1. Chronological Order of the Establishment of Competitions and Commissioning at NFA Conventions

In 1987 the NFA embarked upon commissions (other than for competitions) for flute and various combinations. (See Table 1) The first commission in 1987 was for a chamber group, Quartetto for flute, violin, viola, and cello by Mario Davidovsky. The board also commissioned two pieces for flute choir/orchestra: Flute for Thought, A Celebration of

Flute Music for six flutes and piano (1997) by Kenneth Laufer and Tsunami and

Solemnes for flute orchestra (2005) by Robert Aitken. (See Table 1)

Commissioned Pieces as Special Projects from 1987 to 2012

In 2012 the NFA Board established the Flute Choir Composition Competition. The first winners were The Fifth Universal Principle of Alignment by David Gunn and Tarantella by Alberto Guidobaldi.

Many excellent transcriptions and arrangements have been presented by flute choirs at

NFA conventions. However, this document will focus on original pieces that have been commissioned, premiered or presented by ensembles (university/college flute choirs and

NFA-sponsored flute choirs) at NFA conventions. Some arrangements may be included when commissioned by conductors of NFA-sponsored flute choirs for presentation at conventions.

In 1982 the Tokyo Flute Ensemble Academy from Japan presented a program which included both original and arranged pieces for flute choir/orchestra. The program book 4

does not make clear whether the pieces presented were commissioned by this flute choir

or not, however, the works will be included in chapter four, the annotated bibliography.

Literature Review

Numerous articles, books and dissertations regarding the flute choir have been written by

flutists and flute choir clinicians. Articles have appeared in the Flutist Quarterly, the

official magazine of the National Flute Association and Flute Talk magazine. Other articles were found at ProQuest, the dissertation website. This literature review will not include publications from international flute societies because the focus of this document is flute choir music presented at National Flute Association conventions.

The book, My Complete Story of the Flute, published in 1951 by Leonardo De Lorenzo, has four parts: the flute, the performers, the music, and reminiscences of a flutist. The author provides information about solo and chamber repertoire in part three, the music. Only one flute choir is mentioned, Divertimento flautistico for five flutes by Leonardo De

Lorenzo.

Published in 1963, A Handbook of Literature for the Flute, by James J. Pellerite, provides an annotated bibliography by grade level of trios, quartets, and music for five or more

flutes. A total number of approximately eighty-five pieces for five flutes or more are

presented.7

In 1973, the book, Woodwind Ensemble Music Guide, compiled by Himie Voxman &

Lyle Merriman, includes a repertoire list from two instruments to thirteen instruments

along with choirs.8 The total number of pieces for five or more flutists is fourteen.

In the article, “Flute Choirs Are the Answer,” Carol Kniebusch predicts that flute choirs

will become a popular music ensemble group in communities.9 She makes suggestions

regarding instrumentation and seating arrangements. The author also provides a list of

twenty-five flute choir pieces with instrumentation and some thoughts about each piece.

Amy Rice-Young ‘s article, “Adapting Music for Your Ensemble,” talks about important factors in choosing a flute choir program for the director/conductor.10 The number of flutists in the choir, student’s ability level and instrumentation are the most important

considerations for adapting music for the flute choir.

Derek Greer reports that the flute bands in the Northern Ireland are renowned throughout the world for the high quality of their musicianship in his article, “The Flute Bands of

Ireland.”11 In Ireland there are many flute bands, which are made up of up to four

generations from one family and these large number of flute players have led the

development of the flute band.12 In the 1920s Irish flute bands used a piccolo, C flutes,

G treble flutes, alto flute in G, bass flutes to create a full range flute band.13

A doctoral dissertation published in 1989 and entitled “The University Flute Choir: A

Study of its Viability as a Performing Ensemble and Instructional Medium with a

Compendium of Recommendations and Warm-up Exercises” by Adah Toland Mosello, examines aspects of flute choir formation, participation, and performance at the university/college level.14 Dr. Mosello relates possible problems of maintaining flute ensembles, choosing repertoire, and preparing performances. The author indicates that establishing a flute choir may improve a student’s ensemble playing, sight reading skills, and provide more performance opportunities. At the end of the book the writer provides

seven warm-up exercises. These were later published separately by ALRY

Publications.15

Published in 1989, the article, “Create a Flute Ensemble,” by Amy Rice-Young, provides some tips about organizing a flute choir.16 The author suggests that rehearsal plans and

performances are important factors for conductors/directors of a flute choir.

Published in 1996, A Guidebook to Flute Choir Literature, by Carol Kniebusch Noe, is

the only flute choir book listing flute choir literature specifically.17 The book is divided

into two sections: original works and arrangements. Each section contains an annotated

bibliography with lists of music by grade level and is organized by the number of flutes

in a piece. The writer provides instrumentation, duration, publisher and her opinion

about each piece. Included are pieces that were written for the James Madison Flute Choir Composition Competition. (See Appendix A for a listing)

Nancy Toff provides a history of the flute choir and its repertoire in her book, The Flute

Middle Ages and the flute choir/orchestra in the United States has been used for education purposes to help students improve their intonation and tone quality.19 In the

section, Repertoire Catalog, in the book, the author lists compositions from each

historical era.

In 1997, ALRY Publications published two books about the flute choir: The Flute Choir

Method Book by Adah Toland Mosello and The Flute Choir Warm-up Book by Amy

Rice-Young.20 The Flute Choir Method Book by Adah Toland Mosello provides six

exercises of intonation, scales, triads, rhythm, transposition, and form and analysis.21

This is a revision of a portion of her dissertation published in 1989, “The University Flute

Choir: A Study of its Viability as a Performing Ensemble and Instructional Medium with

a Compendium of Recommendations and Warm-up Exercises.” The Flute Choir Warm- up Book by Amy Rice-Young emphasizes basic skills of scales, long tones and chord warm-ups.22

Belva Prather’s article, “Music for Flute Choirs,” indicates that arrangements are a great

source for flute choir and the author recommends some useful standards such as The Air

from Suite in D by J. S. Bach, Pavane by Gabriel Faure, and the familiar Canon by

Johann Pachelbel, among others.23

The article, “Flute Choirs and the National Flute Association: Coming of Age,” by Amy

Rice-Young Blumenthal describes the history of the flute choir from the beginning to

2002 in chronological order along with literature and repertoire.24

Published in 2002, The Flute by Ardal Powell claims that

Traditional flute ensembles have provided other paths for the flute to make new, or new–old, sounds. While many of the northern Irish flute bands migrated from their traditional band flutes to the Boehm instrument after World War II, around 2500 fife and drum bands were formed in the U.S. and Canada, using reproductions of eighteenth–century fifes and rope–tensioned wooden field drums with gut snares, and usually appearing in period or Civil War uniforms. A Company of Fifers and Drummers devoted to the preservation and promotion of material music was founded in 1965, establishing a museum, archive, and library in Ivoryton, Conn.25

The article published in 2003, “Flute Choirs Claim the Bottom Line: Big Flutes now Join

American Flute Ensembles” by Nancy Nourse, cites the emergence of contrabass and

contra–alto flutes, providing harmonic richness of sound and color similar to other

homogeneous ensembles such as saxophone quartets, clarinet choir, brass band, and the

string orchestra.26 Alto and bass flutes play the bass line, often augmented with string bass, bassoon or cellos in the flute choir/orchestra. The addition of contra-alto and contra-bass flutes expands the range of the flute choir up to six octaves.27

According to the literature review, it is an unquestionable fact that flute choir is a

potential performance outlet not only for flutists of all levels but also for composers. A

growing number of universities/colleges have adopted the flute choir as part of the

curriculum for their students. Flute professors continue to commission works for flute

choir to add to the repertoire of our time.

The National Flute Association has fostered the emergence of the flute choir as an important ensemble for flutists. Amateurs and professionals may audition to perform in the National High School Flute Choir, the Collegiate, and Professional Flute Choir, as

well as the Flute Big Band. Any flutist may choose to participate in the opening flute

choir of each flute convention as well as perform the Bach Air at the closing concert at

the convention. Numerous opportunities exist at conventions for flutists to participate in

flute choir reading sessions as well.

According to the books, A Handbook of Literature for the Flute by James J. Pellerite published in 1963 and A Guidebook to Flute Choir Literature by Carol Kniebusch Noe published in 1996, the total amount of repertoire of the flute choir in 1963 was close to eighty-five pieces. In 1996, that number grew to approximately 350. The number of pieces quadrupled over thirty years. It has been seventeen years since Carol Kniebusch

Noe published her guidebook. Over several decades, a considerable amount of repertoire composed and presented by diverse groups all over the world, have been written and presented. By 2012, the repertoire of five or more flutes is approximately

1200 according to the Flute World Catalog 2011–2012.28 This document will catalog the commissioned flute choir works presented at NFA annual conventions from 1973 to

2012.

Chapter 2: A Brief History of the Flute Choir and its Repertoire

The origin of the flute choir can be traced back to the recorder consort of the sixteenth,

seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries.29 The earliest surviving music marked

specifically for multiple flutes was for recorders or Renaissance flutes in consorts.30

The Renaissance flute had two purposes: as a military instrument and as a chamber instrument.31 According to Nancy Hadden’s dissertation, “From Swiss Flutes to

Consorts: History, Music and Playing Techniques of the Transverse Flute in Switzerland,

Germany and France ca. 1470–1640,” Thoinot Arbeau described the flute used by

German and Swiss soldiers as having six holes and a very narrow bore only the thickness

of a pistol bullet which gave it‘s a shrill note to inspire the soldiers during battle.”32 The flute was combined with drums and it became what is now known as, fife and drum corps. Fife and drum corps from the Middle Ages in Switzerland through to the present day in

America, are an ensemble different from the flute choir.

As a chamber instrument, the Renaissance flute was used as both a solo instrument and in

consorts of four instruments in different keys: soprano in A, alto–tenor in D, and bass in

G.33 The earliest surviving pieces for flute consort are two collections of chansons by

Pierre Attaingnant in 1533.34 Two collections of four-part chansons arranged by

Attaingnant , were published with the titles, Chansons musicales a quatre parties and

Vingt et sept chansons musicales a quatre parties.35

In 1727, Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (1691–1755) wrote Six Concertos, op.15 for five

flutes. Fhe score is marked with the words, “solo” and “tutti,” thus indicating that

Boismortier expected the parts to be multiplied.36 These are believed to be the first

published pieces for more than four flutes.

In the British Isles, flute bands have a long tradition including to the present day.37 Derek Greer notes that the flute bands of Ulster in the Northern Ireland are renowned throughout the world for the high quality of their musicianship and these ensembles are

similar to flute choirs in America.38 There are many flute bands, which are made up of up to four generations from one family in Ireland. These large numbers of flute players have led to the development of the flute band.39 The origins of these bands are traced back to the Battle of the Boyne, the war between Protestant King William of Orange and the last Roman Catholic monarch James in 1690.40 William defeated the army of

Catholic James II at the Battle. Later Protestant loyalists established the Orange Order, a Protestant fraternal organization in Northern Ireland. Young men joined the Order to protect the British influence within Ireland by learning and performing tunes of the

Orange culture.41 Many fife and drum corps, consisting of twenty players of fifes accompanied by a corps of drums, were established around this period.42

Instrumentation and the introduction of music reading contributed to its current high standard of playing.43 For example, in the 1920s, bass flutes were added to the flute bands and creating a fuller range of the ensemble.44 In addition, regular contests with

complex and demanding pieces chosen by conductors, led to the improvement of the

playing in the flute bands.45

Perhaps due to the large number of flutists produced by public school music programs,

flute choirs have found their place in public schools, universities, flute clubs, churches,

and other organizations throughout the world.46 For instance, in the United States,

Leonardo De Lorenzo, professor of flute, at the Eastman School of Music introduced the

flute ensemble to his curriculum in the 1930s.47 He believed that flute ensembles help

students to improve their intonation, tone quality, and blend while teaching ensemble

skills.48 De Lorenzo composed several works, including the Sinfonietta op. 75 for five

flutes, one of the earliest flute ensemble/choir pieces.49

In 1916, the Los Angeles Flute Club, the first flute club in America, was founded and appointed Georges Barrère, principal flutist of New York Symphony Orchestra, as an honorary member of the club in 1919.50 In New York on December 5, 1920, George

Barrère and sixteen flutists gathered together to play Fredrich Kuhlau’s Grand Quartet

and the New York Flute Club, the oldest continuously operating flute club, was established.51 Club programs often included flute ensemble music, as well as works of contemporary composers. The ensemble program was an informal meeting with amateur and professional club members coming together for the pleasure of playing music written for multiple flutes.52 Often ensemble pieces were programmed on flute club concerts.

Other flute clubs were established in the 1920s.53 Like the New York Flute Club, the

Pittsburgh Flute Club began in 1920. The Philharmonic Flute Quartette, which

consisted of founding members of the Club, performed a concert of ensemble music in

1921.54 The repertoire included the Kuhlau Quartet Op. 103 for four flutes, Kohler

Quartet Op. 92 for four flutes, among others pieces.55 The Boston Flute Players Club and the Portland Flute Club were established in 1921. The Pittsburgh Flute Club inspired the formation of other flute clubs by broadcasting a live performance on the

radio in 1922.56 Emil Medicus, editor of the Flutist Magazine, published from 1920–29,

also actively encouraged and reported on the activities of flute clubs. Currently, there

are approximately 250 flute clubs and flute choirs in the Unities States.57

In 1931, Henry Brant composed Angels and Devils for flute solo, three piccolos, six flutes, and, alto flute according to Franz Vester’s Flute Repertoire Catalogue.58 The

piece was premiered on February 6, 1932 with an orchestra of ten flutists from the New

York Flute Club, with soloist Georges Barrére.59 The work was revised by the

composer in 1956 and scored for three piccolos, five C flutes and two alto flutes.

According to the book, Addenda to My Complete Story of the Flute by Leonardo De

Lorenzo, the New York Flute Club continued to perform original works for flute

ensemble/choir: Angels and Devils by Henry Brant in 1933; Divertimento Flautistico for

five flutes with flute in G and piccolo by Leonardo De Lorenzo in 1936; Suite for Nine Flutes by Arcady Dubensky in 1936.60 This marks the beginning of an explosion of originally composed works for flute choir.

In the late 1950s, George Morey, professor of flute at North Texas State University,

started a flute choir program which influenced many students to realize the need for the

ensemble.61

According to Amy-Rice Blumenthal, Cyclorama for flute choir, scored for two piccolos,

six flutes, two alto flutes, and a bass flute by Fisher Tull, was performed at the Music

Educators National Conference convention (MENC convention) in Texas in the 1960s

and it became a standard work for flute choirs.62 A study of the score, Cyclorama I

reveals in the program note provided, that the work received an initial performance by the

University of Flute Ensemble in Huntsville, Texas, in 1972 with the composer conducting.63 The piece was dedicated to Jan Cole, the professor at Sam Houston State

University.64 A grant from Sam Houston University Research Funds supported the commission.65 This may serve as the first commissioned piece for flute choir at a university.

In 1962, in Tennessee, Mark Thomas, a flute soloist, a teacher and Artist in Residence for

the Armstrong Flute Company, formed a group of ten to twelve flutists playing C flutes

and alto flutes, the Sewanee Flute Choir at the Sewanee Summer Music Center, which

evolved into a small, independent group of adult professionals, the Thomas Flute

Ensemble.66 In 1969, Mark Thomas formed the Armstrong Flute Ensemble and made a

recording which included flute quartets and a quintet, the Toccata for Flute Chorus

(piccolo, C flute, E–flat flute, alto and bass flute) by Emma Lou Diemer (b. 1927).67

When Robert Webb, professor of flute at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, first

heard Music for Twelve Flutes by Nelson Keyes (1928–1987) premiered at the University

of Louisville with Sally Fouse conducting, his interest in the viability of flute choirs was

stimulated.68 He later organized a flute choir at the University of Wisconsin-

Whitewater using twenty-four flutists from around the campus playing a repertoire of music based on doubling flute trios, quartets, quintets, as well as transcriptions of choral pieces.69 The Whitewater Choir played at the MENC division meeting in Milwaukee in

1973 and the MENC meeting in Anaheim in 1974.70 Their performance in Anaheim included two premiered works: Concerto Spirituoso No. I by Vaclav Nelhybel and Night

Music by William Penn of the Eastman School of Music.71

According to the article by Amy Rice Blumenthal, considering themselves a professional group, the Italian Flute Orchestra, was formed in 1971 by Marlaena Kessick. They asked composers to write pieces for their instrumental group of two piccolos, eight C flutes, two alto flutes, and two bass flutes.72

In 1974, Dr. George Morey and Joe Tallal founded the Texas Flute Club to bring flutists and flute lovers of all ages in the North Texas community together. In the spring of

1976, a flute choir consisting of flute club members and director Dr. Morey performed at the Texas Music Educator’s Convention in Dallas.73

Katherine Borst Jones, teaching associate at The Ohio State University, and Ann

Fairbanks, DMA student at The Ohio State University, organized a flute choir concert at

The Ohio State University during the 1972–73 school year, performing pieces by Missal,

Boismortier, de Lorenzo and arrangements from choral works.74 Professor Jones

continued flute choir work at Emporia State University in Kansas in 1974–75 and at

Capital University from 1975 through 1984. She has continued this tradition at The

Ohio State University since 1985. The flute choir plays a pivotal role in her studio.

Professor Jones believes that “I have always seen the flute choir as a way of building

skills for all ensemble experiences, including band and orchestra, and as a way of

building and fostering camaraderie in the studio. It builds respect among students, as

well as friendships. It promotes the idea of teamwork. Competition is put in

perspective and made healthier.”75

In 1980, Carol Kniebusch Noe, professor of flute at James Madison University, founded

the James Madison University Flute Club in Virginia which sponsored an annual competition, the James Madison University Flute Choir Composition Competition.76 The competition encouraged composers to write original music for flute choirs. Most of the winning compositions were published.77 Information about the winning

Carol Kniebusch Noe. Pieces are listed Appendix A.

In 1972, flutists and teachers, Mark Thomas, Philip Swanson, Northern Arizona

University, and Walfrid Kujala, Northwestern University and the Chicago Symphony, met to discuss the idea of a flute association. The first meeting/convention came to fruition in Anaheim, California in 1973 with fifteen exhibitors and sixty-seven flutists attending the two day program.78 The National Flute Association was born. From

1973 to present day, the National Flute Association conventions have provided a venue for flute choirs of all types to flourish.

Chapter 3: A Brief History of NFA Sponsored Flute Choirs and its Repertoire

Flute ensembles took center stage at the first NFA convention in Anaheim, California in

1973. Flute ensemble works filled the first Saturday night closing concert which ended with an arrangement of the famous Air from J. S. Bach’s Suite No. 3 in D by James

Christensen.79 This arrangement was the precursor to many new arrangements and pieces commissioned to be performed at NFA conventions.

Philip Swanson, one of the NFA founding members, founder of the Tucson Flute Club and professor of flute at the University of Arizona, established and conducted the first

NFA ensemble concert and also founded and organized the NFA library by donating a copy of each piece performed at the convention from the music publishers.80 This library is hosted at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

The second National Flute Association convention in Pittsburgh in 1974, followed a similar format as the first, but flute ensemble reading sessions were added.81 Among other pieces read were the Sonority Canon by Otto Luening and Pavane for Flute Choir,

Guitar and Bass by Fauré, arranged by James Christensen.82 Amy Rice Blumenthal

reminisces that “significant additions to this convention were the Pittsburgh Flute Club as host and Richard Leikam as Exhibits Chairman. Involving the flute industry and flute clubs was extremely significant to the growth of both the NFA and flute choirs in general.”83

The third convention was held in Milwaukee in 1975 with significant changes.

 Two-day convention became a three-day convention  A college masterclass, by Walfrid Kujala with participants selected by anonymous taped audition  “Open hour” ensemble reading sessions each day; ensembles were primarily duets, trios, and quartets  more flute choir activity84

Although flute choir music was widely performed during 1970s, the first university/college flute choir group invited to perform at the NFA convention in Milwaukee in 1975 was the University of Illinois Flute Group conducted by Professor

Charles DeLaney. They performed Three Humors for Ten Flautists by Scott Huston

from manuscript.85

In 1975 the NFA Board of Directors authorized five new competitions to be first held at

the Fourth Convention in Atlanta in 1976. These competitions were: a Young Artist

Competition, a Newly Published Music Competition, a Competition for Advanced

Performers, who would then perform the winners of the Newly Published Music

Competition, and a continuation of the college-level Masterclass Performer Competition and the establishment of a competition for a High School Flute Choir.86

The first NFA Newsletter, Volume I, Number I was published in the spring of 1976

announcing the activities and projects of the NFA, including the upcoming convention,

“News of Flute Clubs” and “What’s New.”87 The second newsletter, published in July

in 1976 contained the complete convention program along with articles and a

continuation of features from the first newsletter.88 From 1972–76, the National Flute Association business was published in the Woodwind World-Brass & Percussion published by Swift-Dorr.

The fourth NFA annual convention in Atlanta in 1976 presented the first auditioned flute

choir, the National Flute Association 1976 Flute Choir, which later became the National

information about the terms of the commission or premiere in program books. This type of information is often not included in NFA program books.

High School Flute Choir. The first group was organized and conducted by George

Morey, professor of flute at the North Texas State University.89 Twenty flutists were

selected from competitive taped auditions and the program included a number of

premieres and works by Martha Rearick and Newel K. Brown.90 This was the first full

concert by a National Flute Association sponsored flute choir.

At the fifth Convention in San Francisco in 1977, a flute choir played the world premiere

of Une Affaire de Famille by Louis Moyse, dedicated to the NFA to honor its fifth

anniversary. The performers included flutists: Ervin Monroe, Arthur Ephross, Shaul

Ben-Meir, Philip Swanson, and Louis Moyse.91 Angels and Devils by Henry Brant was

also played with a different group of flutists.92

At the 1978 convention in Washington, D.C., the NFA Flute Choir with director Charles DeLaney, performed Angels and Devils again and the world premieres of Sails, Winds, Echoes for two piccolos, six flutes, two altos, and bass by Crawford Gates, as well as

At the Dallas convention in 1979, there was only one flute ensemble concert, which included the 1979 High School Flute Choir conducted by Robert Webb, plus two pieces played by the Texas Flute Club Ensemble.94 Vltavistic Virtuosity from The Moldau

(Vltavistic) by Bedřich Smetana arranged for five flutists by Kyril Magg, Concerto No. 3 in D Major by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, among others, were presented on the program.

Both the literature and numbers of flute choirs have grown step by step, but a number of issues were often addressed by critics: “too homogeneous,” “not a legitimate ensemble,”

“lacking in good music,” and “only for those who couldn’t find others to play with.”95 Throughout the 1980s great progress continued to be made for both flute choirs and the NFA and numerous articles were published.96

At the convention in Seattle in 1982, a number of local groups performed in addition to

the NFA High School Choir. A most notable event at the convention in 1982 was a

performance by the first international flute ensemble, the Tokyo Flute Ensemble

Academy from Japan, which performed three pieces of newly composed pieces by

Japanese composers: Akira Miyoshi, Shin-ichiro Ikebe, Ryohei Hirose.97 Huit Poems

pour ensemble de flutes (1969) written by Akira Miyoshi, Flash! (1972) for groups of flutes in 4x3 by Shin-ichiro Ikebe and Paramita and Kada (1980) for alto-flute solo and flute orchestra by Ryohei Hirose.98 It is not known if the works were commissioned for

this particular performance, however these works will be included in the annotated

bibliography. People were interested because it was the first time they had seen not

only a contrabass flute but a contrabass in G. The range of this flute choir with these instruments covered up to six octaves.99 The performance by the Tokyo Flute Ensemble

Academy became a turning point not only for flutists but for all those who were not fans of the flute choir.100

In 1987, a proposal for a Professional Flute Choir was accepted by the NFA Board. The

purpose for including a Professional Flute Choir was to involve more flutists in the

program, to provide a competition for all ages, and to enable some of the very advanced

flute choir works to be performed professionally. In 1988, the Professional Flute Choir, with Amy Rice-Young, conductor, made its debut at the San Diego Convention.101

The NFA conventions of the 1990s included many flute choir programs showcasing

original works to arrangements. Blumenthal writes

Flute Choirs were part of all NFA celebrations. James Christensen composed Fanfare 20 in honor of the NFA’s 20th anniversary in 1992 in Los Angeles, and Ben Boone was commissioned to compose Over the Edge for the 25th anniversary in Chicago. The Professional Flute Choir from this convention reconvened with a few changes and became the National Flute Choir.102

Two international flute choirs performed at the convention in San Diego in 1988. The

Taipei Flute Academy Ensemble from Taiwan performed Formosa Landscapes for flute

ensemble (World Premiere) by Pan Hwang-Long. The Japan Flute Association performed an unnamed piece, listed in the convention book as a world premiere written for the convention by Ryohei Hirose.103 This document will include these pieces

because they are the second international flute choirs to perform premiered pieces at the

convention in San Diego in 1988. These ensembles, however, are neither a university

flute choir group nor a NFA sponsored flute choir group.

In Albuquerque in 2007, Ali Ryerson, the NFA Jazz chair, invited professional players

from all over the country to premiere the Jazz Flute Big Band.104 The Saturday night

debut with Ali Ryerson and the NFA Jazz Flute Big Band proved the viability of the jazz

flute big band as a performance category. As a result, the Jazz Flute Big Band

Competition was established in 2009.105 The Jazz Flute Big Band Reading Session and

Jazz Flute Big Band Competition began as biennial events. In 2008, the first Jazz Flute

Big Band Reading Session took place in Kansas City. “Miss Missouri,” from

the Kansas City Suite by Count Basie arranged by Kris Keith, Oscar’s Stepping’ Out by

Steve Rudolph were performed on the first reading session on Thursday afternoon in

Pershing Hall in Kansas City.106 In 2009 the first concert of the official Jazz Flute Big

Band was held on Saturday night under the direction of Ali Ryerson. Thirty flutists

were chosen as winners from a taped Jazz Flute Big Band Competition.107 Selected

flutists and a rhythm section, including Mike Wofford, piano, Mary Ann McSweeney, bass and Alvester Garnett, drummer inspired the audience with their performance

featuring three well-known professional jazz players: Hubert Laws, Holly Hofmann, and

Lew Tabackin. The second Jazz Flute Big Band Reading Session was held in Anaheim

in 2010 accompanied by one of LA’s top rhythm sections featuring pianist Andy

Langham, bassist Chris Connor, and drummer Kendall Kay and the group read through

five jazz arrangements: Just Between Us by Al Hager, arrangements of Gabriel Faure’s

Pavane, Jimmy Giuffre’s Four Brothers, The Night Has A Thousand Eyes by Jerry

Brainin and Buddy Bernier, Flute Maddness from Sonny Rollins’ familiar jazz tune

‘Tenor Madness” by Madeline Neumann.108 In 2011, the Jazz Flute Big Band gave its

third performance at the convention and recognition thanks to Ali Ryerson, Jazz

Committee Chairperson and Kris Keith, New Chair of the Jazz Flute Big Band.109 The

ensemble began by performing a new work which was commissioned for the convention

by pianist/composer Mike Wofford for orchestra, flute choir and the Jazz Flute Big

Band.110

Collegiate Flute Choir Competition, with the first performance to be held at the NFA

convention in New York in 2009. The first coordinator of the Collegiate Flute Choir

Concert was Dorli McWayne and the conductor was Katherine Borst Jones.111 The program included two commissioned flute choir pieces, Fire Dance by Valerie Coleman and Hearts Upon the High Road by Christopher Norman.112 The second Collegiate

Flute Choir concert was held in 2010, with conductor, John Barcellona A Western Suite by Christopher Caliendo (b. 1959) was premiered. In 2011, the third Collegiate Flute

Choir included the five movement work, Twitter (2011) by Greg Danner (b. 1958), which was premiered by the Collegiate Flute Choir under conductor, Roger Martin. Four other pieces were also played. The fourth Collegiate Flute Choir in 2012 played three arrangements and two original pieces with conductor, John Bailey and guest conductor,

Sophie Dufeutrelle. Shophie Dufeutrelle conducted her arrangement, Le Serpent a

Sons…nets (Rattlesnake) (1991) by Jean-Michel Cayre.

In 2012, the NFA announced a Flute Choir Composition Competition. Two works were chosen as winners: The Fifth Universal Principle of Alignment by David Gunn and

Tarantella by Alberto Guidobaldi, which were then premiered by the NFA Professional

Flute Choir at the 2012 convention, with conductor, Clyde Mitchell.113

As the repertoire of the flute choir expanded, flute choir groups, amateurs to professional,

started making recordings of their performances. There are many flute choir CDs

available from major publishing companies such as ALRY Publications, Falls House

Press, Nourse Wind Publications, FLUTE.NET Publications, among others.

ALRY produced recordings of the National Flute Choir, consisting of twenty American

professional flutists with conductor Amy Rice Blumenthal. They released nine

recordings from 1998 to 2004.114 Community and College/University flute choirs have

also produced CDs, for example, the Nashua Flute Choir has completed their third CD

with music director, Dr. Eileen Yarrison.115 A complete discography of flute choir

recordings is not part of this document.

Chapter 5: Conclusion

There is a long history of music written for flute duos, trios, and quartets. In the

Renaissance, flute quartets, with different sizes of flutes, were frequently played. The

duet was used as a way of teaching the instrument (Devienne Method, Altès Method,

Taffanel Method).

The first flute club in America was the Los Angeles Flute Club begun in 1919.

Established in 1920, the New York Flute Club became the longest running flute club in the country. Emil Medicus, editor of the Flutist Magazine, encouraged the establishment of flute clubs beginning in the 1920s. Flute clubs became more prevalent, providing ensemble opportunities for members. In 1973, the National Flute Association was founded, giving the flute choir an avenue for development.

With the advent of single instrument professors hired in college/university music departments in the United States, studio classes, ensemble programs and single instrument ensembles took root. In addition, with the development of college/university music programs where large numbers of flutists were enrolled, teachers began to build ensemble programs for more than four flute players. In order to involve more flutists at a time, flute choirs were established at colleges and universities as well as within flute

clubs. Part of the reason may be the limited number of flutists used in orchestras and

bands. However, the repertoire for flute ensembles was limited to just a few pieces, so

trios and quartets were often doubled and even tripled. Arrangements of famous pieces

were made, but original pieces for flute choir were rare.

The flute choir is used as a tool to educate students in the art of ensemble playing as well

as a way for a teacher to build camaraderie in a studio. As repertoire became available,

the flute choir became a more viable ensemble at colleges and universities as well as for

flute clubs. Community flute choirs came into existence in the same way as community

bands and orchestras had years before. A current new trend is the formation of flute choirs in churches where they play for church services.

There has been resistance to the flute choir as a viable ensemble because of the lack of repertoire, the small range of octaves possible, even with piccolos, alto and bass flutes. The emergence of contrabass flutes in the 1990s, the greater availability of alto and bass flutes and the persistence of flute choir enthusiasts to both arrange, compose and commission music along with the emergence of performance outlets such as conventions held by the Music Educator’s National Conference (now NAfME), the National Flute

Association and even local flute festivals, has given rise to a more hearty acceptance of the flute choir.

In the 1960s, the repertoire for the flute choir was limited to just a few original pieces and arrangements. A Handbook of Literature for the Flute by James J. Pellerite recorded eighty five pieces for five or more flutes in 1963.226 Thirty years later Carol Kniebusch

Noe in her book, A Guidebook to Flute Choir Literature, listed 341 pieces for flute choir.227 A survey of repertoire of flute choirs at NFA conventions for forty years from

1975 to 2012, reveals that the numbers of pieces have dramatically increased as can be seen in Table 2. The amount of flute choir music increased rapidly, especially in 1987–

88 and in 1996–97. (See Table 2) The inception of the NFA Flute Big Band, High

School, Collegiate and Professional Flute Choirs and the NFA Flute Orchestra presented at the opening of the each convention, contributed toward the growth. The Flute World catalog of 2012 lists approximately 1200 pieces for flute choir. This does not include the large number of manuscript pieces that are available privately from composers and arrangers.

Table 2. Numbers of Pieces Performed at NFA Conventions from 1975–2012: Included are Concerts of the University/College Flute Choirs and NFA Sponsored Flute Choir

Flute choirs now represent a viable opportunity for flutists of all ages and ability. Each year more repertoire is available for different instrumentations and in varying styles, allowing conductors and ensembles the chance to perform interesting compositions individually suited to their flute choir. More composers are writing pieces at the request of flutists, allowing flutists the opportunity to work with living composers. Pieces are being written for one on a part for five or more than twenty players, as well as pieces appropriate for the doubling of parts. Both the quality and number of compositions, as 77

well as the opportunity for flute choirs to perform, continue to grow. The flute choir

ensemble has indeed come of age.

The numbers of commissioned pieces (only premiered at NFA conventions) in the

decades from 1973 through 2012 has increased enormously. (See Table 3)

Year Numbers of Commissioned Pieces Performed at NFA annual conventions 1973–1982 8 1983–1992 8 1993–2002 24 2003–2012 56 Table 3. Numbers of Commissioned Pieces Performed by University/College Flute Choirs and NFA Sponsored Flute Choirs at NFA conventions

Many flute choir conductors of university flute choirs and of NFA sponsored flute choirs,

have used the opportunity of a performance at an NFA convention as a way to encourage

a composer to write a new piece for the occasion. Many of the commissioned pieces

were written without pay for the composer, but because a performance would come about

in an international venue for a large audience, a composer would consent to write a

piece In some cases, the pieces have been published; in other cases, the music is only

available from the composer or the conductor of the flute choir commissioning the piece.

In this way, the repertoire for the flute choir has been augmented by the works of many

contemporary composers, flutists and others alike.

The emergence of the flute choir has come about largely due to the establishment of flute

clubs and the National Flute Association.

This document focused on the commissioned pieces presented by university/college flute choirs and NFA sponsored flute choirs at the National Flute Association annual conventions from 1973 to 2012. Arrangements were included when a conductor requested a piece for a convention flute choir. Unfortunately, commissioning information was often left out of the convention program books. Therefore a future project will be to contact the conductors/directors of all flute choirs that have presented at

the NFA conventions to find out more information about works that were presented and to determine whether pieces were commissioned or not. More work can also be done to

further document the history of the flute ensemble/choir, both in the United States and throughout the world.
