The King Of Love (Solo Bb, C)

This solo with piano is straight forward in design, giving the young player the opportunity to display dynamic and stylistic variety.

Taken from the “Messiah”, this solo with piano is essentially a transcription of the original work. The balance in the writing between the solo and the accompaniment gives way to the sensitivity of the text of this well-know aria..

This piece would serve well as a meditation. Beginning with a quiet Celtic lilt, the center section is stronger and bolder. After several bell effects, the piece returns to the mood of the beginning.

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.

This solo with piano begins with the portrayal of a pastoral setting. The arrangement incorporates both “Flow Gently Sweet Afton” and “Luther’s Hymn”.
