What are your favourite pieces to play on the flute?

My favorite is the Hindemith Sonata, but now I`m working on a new piece I`ve never really heard called "Oiseaux Tendres" by Jean Rivier. Let me know if you know anything about it. It`s really neat.

I like Dance of the Blessed Spirits by Gluck, Bourree Anglaise (sonata)by Bach, and Badinerie from Bach`s suite in B minor.

I love playing Sugar Plum Faries from the Nutcracker! The flutes get the best part!

Mine is probably an Irish slip-jig called The Strayaway Child. In fact, one of the reasons I went out of my way to accquire a flute with a Bflat foot joint was so that I could play it correctly. My dream piece, though (and I doubt I`ll get a chance play it anytime soon) is A Night Bald Mountain by Mussorsky (in fact, if anyone knows where I can get the music for that, preferably for free, let me know).

Night on Bald Mountain?I have that,atleast a short version,we play it in the stands.If you want it I will give it to you if you give me something.

definatly, definatly, `Do nothin till you hear from me` By Frank Sinatra. Class Piece!!!! Becky-Lu. xxx

Night on Bald Mountain? Really? Sure. Lemme know what you`re interested in, and I`ll see if I have anything in stock (I have a scanner, so I can just scan it in and email it).

I like the score from The Snowman. The flutes and clarinets get the best parts.

I`ve been playing mostly irish music since I started playing the flute but I want to lean some good classical solo pieces, any suggestions?

I can`t say I have a favorite; whatever I`m working on is usually my favorite at that time! Right now it`s Charles Griffes` Poem, Saint-Saens` Airs de Ballet d`Ascanio, and a big ol` pile of orchestral excerpts. Of those, I do have favorites: Prokofieff`s Peter and the Wolf (you know it), and Ravel`s Daphnis and Chloe.

And who couldn`t love Syrinx by Debussy?

The only songs I know on the flute are

"Keeper of the Flames"
"Stand By Me"
"Funny Valentine"
"Louie, Louie"
and
"Woodchoppers Ball."

My favs are Stand by Me and Louie, Louie.

I love the Phantom of the Opera. In fact I`m looking for the full version of it, not the book.

I like Liberty Bell,Die Fledermaus,and A Musical Joke.

my favorite piece thta i have played on the flute would have to be "Alligator Alley" but hopefully we will get to play phantom of the opera again. all of the seniors played it their freshman year and the performance was totally awesome!!!
