The Old Rugged Cross

$4.00

This moderately easy flute solo begins with a soulful harmonic progression in the accompaniment (alla Moonlight Sonata) that introduces the melody in a 3-4 meter. The theme is presented in its entirety. After a brief modulation the accompaniment takes over in a rich melodic/harmonic interplay of the tune and supporting lines, only to be joined with a simple counter line in the solo. The piece gains strength with the rhythmic interplay between the soloists and the accompaniment and then calms to a style presented in the opening measures. Final rest.
