This is an arrangement of a lovely chorus from Haydn's oratorio The Seasons and it's great for developing ensembles. The parts are straightforward, the four flutes operate almost entirely in rhythmic unison and the piece is held together by the accompaniment. This makes it perfect for large mixed level school groups as it gives almost everyone a chance to play. There is an alternative C flute part in case there is no alto available which is even better. Haydn would almost certainly have loved it!
Expressing the gladness of winter’s end and the arrival of spring, this lovely work is arranged for 4 flutes and piano.
Performance duration (approx): 4'
