Joyful Melodies Vol. 4

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 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 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 bubbly rendition of “Come Thou Fount” is effervescent from beginning to end. It is filled with movement and excitement expressing intense joy throughout.

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!
