“This is wonderful!”
Gudrun Hinze is a great arranger and so this five flute version of Mendelssohn's classic really works. You can either choose to make the whole suite the centrepiece of a concert or select one or two movements. Pairing the brilliant Scherzo with the lovely Nottorno would be ideal! It's all very summery and wonderful - you'll love it!
This arrangement by Gudrun Hinze was created for performance by her flute quintet, Quintessenz. A suite of five movements has been created from the incidental music to Mendelssohn's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," including three instrumental movements and two which include vocal soli, choir and orchestra.
