Product Description

Here are three refreshing new modern arrangements of three popular traditional carols like you aint never heard them before. Intended for the intermediate flute player (or players) and a reasonably competent pianist, they are sure to brighten up your Christmas events whether at home, school, church or recital hall. You can of course use the music with any number of flute players. The pieces could be used during a Christmas service or as stand-alone pieces at an end-of-term presentation. The audio sample includes recordings of all three pieces.

The King Rides Out (based on Good King Wenceslas) starts conventionally enough but turns into a country-style song and then theres a three-part Bach-like contrapuntal section, concluding with a wistful coda before the music returns to the joyful country style. Waltz with Holly or Possibly Ivy (based of course on The Holly and the Ivy) turns into a dreamy waltz with long extended phrases and a good vehicle to show the flute players tone quality. The Merry Gentleman go Latin is a lively rumba version of God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen.

Colin Kirkpatrick studied composition, cello and piano at Londons prestigious Royal College of Music and after graduation followed a career in music education. He was a High School Music Director in London for about fifteen years and later became a Music Education Adviser for local government, with the added responsibility for training teachers and directing the instrumental teaching service.
