David Of The White Rock

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 new theme built off from the orinigal theme with another modulation lifting the tonality to a higher reference and then ends with a solemn motive.

This solo with piano begins with the strains of a lion’s roar. Next enters Daniel in a simple fashion followed by a statement in a triumphal march. The lions return-Daniel prevails.

A solo instrument with piano accompaniment? Can an arrangement capture the essence of the original with the majesty of full chorus and orchestra? This piece really does- it is amazingly complete!

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 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.
