What Child Is This?
This flute solo begins with the piano using figures that are very harp-like and then joined by the flute in a plaintive manner. It continues in this manner for some time while modulating through various keys. The tune is then embellished with the piano accompanying in a hocket motif. The final section is then presented in a lilting manner with the piano once again acting in a harp fashion. The ending is a final peaceful rendition.
-
Away In a Manger
A flute solo that begins with “Flow Gently Sweet Afton” accapella in the lower range of the flute, and is then joined with the piano. It is repeated up the octave with a more involved accompaniment. It modulates and meanwhile shifts to the “Luther’s Hymn” where it remains in a rather simple fashion.
