Flutzalad Celtic Suites for c-flute trio
Level: Intermediate

Dear Flutists and flute teachers,

Yes, they are GORGEOUS, if I do say so myself. (read rave reviews here.) I've arranged three suites of Celtic Flute trios for three c-flutes. All of them come with separate flute parts and full score. Have a listen and look at the pages below.

Flutzalad Suite No. 2 ($15)
Fantasia on 'She Moved Through the Fair'-Road to Listovarnia - Morris Dance
See sample page of score
Listen to a midi play whole score.



Flutzalad Suite No. 3 ($15)
Scarborough Fair - Mari's Wedding.
See sample page of score here.
Listen to midi of whole score.



Flutzalad Suite No. 1 ($15)
Gounod's Mireille - Dream of Arren - Jen's Drone
See sample page of score.
Listen to midi of whole score on mp3.




The individually printed flute parts are Flute 1, Flute 2, Flute 3. Click on the jpeg to enlarge to see the clarity of the parts (use back button to come back here.:>)

Cues, breath marks when needed, and all editing has been done in advance.
Plus, every player gets equal solo time and each part is an equal level of difficultly. The full score is a handy reference at rehearsals. The trios are suitable for high school aged players as well as particularly useful for gigs for professional flute trios.
They're also great for forming trio groups from students who are overlapping their lessons by ten minutes. The individual flute parts come together beautifully on the first read for teachers/pro-players, but there is endless possibility to play them with even greater musicianship.

Please enjoy these samples, and email me at jen@jennifercluff.com if you would like to purchase them. They are for sale (using Paypal) for $15 each and you will receive them within the day to print out at home.
Each includes score, and three individual flute parts, in pdf.
For ensembles where some players have B-foot, and others C-foot, the parts are clearly marked.
Just click on the little PLAY button on the left side of the tiny players above to hear them.

Special offer: If you buy all three in one order (Three Flutzalad Suites 1-3 for $45), I will add a fourth flute trio by Handel from the opera Julius Ceasar Act III "Piangero la sorte mia" for free. This is a stunning Cleopatra Aria followed by an exciting presto. Beautiful, lively and thrilling.

I also have a new (2011) Michael Conway Baker "Intermezzo" trio which you will love. Email me for more info:
Hope to hear from you at jen(at)jennifercluff(dot)com

NEW TRIOS - 2010!

For Christmas! Flute trios of lovely Christmas Carols are now available in pdf. Have a listen to my arrangements of well-loved Christmas carols that just flow out of the flute. Every player is soloing, and there are three 10-15 minute sets for holiday festivities. Novice to intermedate, and excellent for professional players sightreading too ($25 for Books 1-3 for 30 minutes or more music):

Enjoy!

Psychology of an orchestral career

Dear Flutists,

I found a detailed article about the Psychology of Orchestral Musicians.

Also, some excellent articles very informative and helpful.

The Orchestral Musician

The Musician's Union (and how it works, in Orchestral settings).

Most fascinating. Do read and comment.

Other "what is it like to work in an orchestra?" articles here.

Best, Jen

Flute for Smarties (Dummies) great!

Dear Flutists,

A tremendous bickering was had by all on one of the Flute discussion groups about the possible quality of the above book. Oh how funny.

Perhaps the argument was about the humour of the title (which is really: Flute for Dummies) Who knows? So I'm laughing away, because if only they'd called it "for smarties...." But until you've read it, you can't really tell what the quality is. So I'm here to tell you that it's indeed a marvellous new book! It's absolutely chock full of everything you ever wanted to know about the flute but were afraid to ask, and it's practice-specific!! Everything you want to practice but were afraid to try...and I totally agree with the author on every technique.
High school students just about to start private lessons, parents of pre-teen beginner flutists, and adult novice flutists who are between flute teachers will especially find this book an important resource, I imagine.

And it's totally new and up to date. It just came out in Dec. 2009 by Karen Moratz.
What a fabulous book all around! Huge kudos to Karen for writing it.
A principal flutist of a top orchestra, and teacher for two decades, Karen Moratz has hit the nail right on the head on every topic from tone to tonguing to tuning.

Everything the beginner-intermediate player wants to know. Finally, all in one place.
And it actually does fit on the music stand, and the CD is actually very useful, and the exercises are excellent (LOVE the William Bennett harmonics/octaves warmup) and the text is clear, concise, fun and very appropriate.

A great read.

Run don't walk; every flutist should own a copy.
See for yourself!!

You can get a good price ($15) here, and teachers can read a review copy at the link below.

Karen wrote to the flute groups:

I invite you all to read samples from the book at www.amazon.com, at www.wiley.com, or at www.dummies.com if you haven't done so already. If you're an instructor at a qualifying institution, you can also request a free evaluation copy from the publisher at http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470484454.html

Personally, I'm going to cover the yellow-black cover with some gorgeous recycled wrapping paper, but that's just me; smartie not dummie. har har. :>D
See for yourself.

Enjoy!
Best,
Jen

Bach Chaconne with Bouriakov

Dear Flutists,

A very warm and cheery "Happy New Year" to you all.
If you want practicing inspiration for today, do check out Denis Bouriakov performing the Bach Chaconne on youtube.
Part 1
Part 2

This is sheerly terriff!



I love the transcription, which is the artist's own, and I just love this piece of music. It's one of the few times when a solo violin Bach work actually WORKS!!
What a player!!
Happy listening.
And happy practice year to us all!
Jen
