"The Nightingale" Flute Duet and Piano

"The Nightingale" Flute duet and Piano is a flute duet in Barcarolle tempo and in ternary form. (also Clarinet duet, flute and clarinet duet, and violin duet available)

Written in concert G minor, I wanted the lilting tempo in the outer sections to have a medieval minor tone, to work with the contrasting major section in the middle.

I very much wanted it to be a flute duet rather than flute 1 and flute 2, so the parts are pretty equally divided. It is romantic in nature, but uses modes and has a few interesting harmonies.

The whole score is on the youtube link for you to assess suitability.

It is placed at early early intermediate level, about associated board grade 4/5- dotted quaver semiquaver is the most complicated rhythm),and would be very suitable for concerts, contests, recitals, weddings as well as an incidental piece. There are 2 flute pages per part and the piano part has 5 pages- 5 minutes in length.
