Carol Of The Bells

An accompanied flute solo which begins with a piano introduction and then presents a modified melody with an extended cadence in the piano. A modulation occurs where the solo line presents a variation of the original theme to a higher register giving a sense of intensity and then ends with a solemn motive.

Written for flute, oboe, clarinet or saxophone this pieces creates a solemn presence by the way it interweaves the various parts together. It would work well for a meditation.
