Something New
SKU: SM-F66E
£10.95Melanie Thorne
Two contrasting movements. The first is a fast and rhythmic
movement with some Latin influence. The second has more of a
bluesy feel and then progresses into a faster swing-style. (Grade 5-8)

The Eventual arrival of the Queen of Sheba
SKU: SM-F82E
£10.95G F Handel ~ arranged by Melanie Thorne
This is an arrangement of the famous ‘Entrance of the Queen of Sheba’ from Solomon. It is not always faithful to the original as it is not just a transcription and has been slightly shortened to make it playable for wind instruments. The 4th part also gives the work a sense of direction through the varying bass line, and provides interest, rather than just harmonic support, for the 4th Flute (opt. alto or bass) player. (Grade 7-8)
[3 Fl/ 1 Fl opt. alto or bass Fls] -
Toccata in G, BWV916 1st Movt
SKU: SM-F79E
£10.95J.S. Bach ~ arranged by Melanie Thorne
Unlike the other keyboard Toccatas, BWV 916 is clearly in 3 movements and the first movement is an ideal opener for concerts. It alternates ritornello and tutti sections, and this arrangement (not totally a transcription) works well for the flute ensemble. Although there are some passages that are not identical to the original, the harmonic profile of the original has been retained. (Grade 6-8) [3 Fl/Fl or alto flute]

Totally Fluteworthy
SKU: SM-F62D
£9.95Melanie Thorne
An ABA structure with plenty of interest for all players – especially Flutes 1 & 2. The slower middle section combines some very close harmonies – a little blues-based. (Grade 5-6)
