Christ The Lord Is Risen Today

This solo with piano is constructed in a rondo form alternating the tunes of Jesus Loves Me, Praise Him All Ye Little Children and Jesus Loves The Little Children. Each section of piece is in a different style thereby giving a great deal of variety technically and musically for the younger player.

This flute solo begins with the piano playing a gentle motif of the theme and then joined in with the solo line playing the theme in a straight forward fashion. The theme is now stated in a modified manner while the soloist exudes a moving obbligato line which adds more excitement to the piece. The piece concludes with the latter section of the first section and then settles into a solemn repose.

Although the melody is gently modified, this solo with piano displays both a sensitivity along with an elevated soaring quality expressing the need for divine interaction on the part of humanity.

This solo with piano follows a simple theme and variation form. It gives the young soloist the opportunity to play many styles in a short framework.
