by Scott Joplin

What can you say about this wonderful old favourite?  It's been around for years on the piano, but NOW we have it for flute. We have also arranged it for ensembles.

The following titles were not prizewinners, alas, yet they are still great music:

Nocturne No. 1

Credited with creating the Nocturne, Field's delightful melody is challenging and rewarding to play.  Intermediate level.

To a Water Lily Selected for Grade 4 Trinity Spring 2003

by Edward MacDowell.
This delightful tone poem is from Edward MacDowell's Woodland Sketches.  His "To A Wild Rose" is perhaps too well known, as a result many of his other compositions have been passed over for transcription.  

Twelve Little Pieces

Short, tuneful pieces, of varying difficulty from easy to challenging. Originally written for the piano, this music transcribes well to the flute, covering the whole range of the instrument.

Twelve Variations on "Ah, vous dirai-je Maman"

by W.A. Mozart. With piano accompaniment on CD.
Mozart's variations on an old French song, later used for "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". Originally written for the piano, Originally written for the piano, these variations transcribe well to make a challenging solo for the flute.

Eugenia

by Scott Joplin.
Eugenia is a gentle, strolling, "sashaying" number - imagine you are sauntering arm in arm with your heart's delight on a lovely sunny afternoon.  Intermediate level.

The Nonpareil (The Unequalled)

by Scott Joplin.
This ragtime number is unusual for Scott Joplin in that he features four separate melodies rather than reprising the first melody.  As usual, the tunes are lilting and memorable. For intermediate to advanced players.

Sonata in F Minor

by Ruth Taylor.
A lovely sonata in the Baroque style with modern overtones, by a young composer from Manchester, England.
