Free great novice Trios for Flutes in pdf

 Dear Flutelovers,

 Is it time to start up a new trio of flutists with some superb new (free!!) sheet music? As a gift I am giving away two very classic and beautiful trios, suitable for novice players. These are gorgeous.

Firstly, the third flute player becomes the secretly emerging soloist in the opening Allegro from:

 1. Autumn from Vivaldi's Four SeasonsAutumn. Download the trio in pdf (3pages)

Secondly, you may be familiar with the fascinating world of Mozart in London in 1764, when he was only eight years old, and the miniatures he composed at that time, entitled "The London Sketchbooks"?

2. Mozart's London Sketchbooks: Download G minor & F Major in parts for novice trio in pdf

Mozart's London Sketchbook performed on keyboard (video):

Fabulouso they are too!

At IMSLP these have been arranged as recorder/flute trios by Jakub Kowalewski. See the trio score under 'Arrangements and Transcriptions' in the tabs. Here is the direct link to the score for three flutes in pdf.

I played through all the above trios by Mozart's youngest possible self and selected two really spunky ones, and wrote out separate parts for these two faves. Here they are as a gift:

2. Mozart's London Sketchbooks: G minor & F Major in parts for novice trio in pdf (two page parts of two of the sketches). Download the score to explore but you can use the parts immediately!

Finally, easiest of all and also at IMSLP (free music website) I found:

3.  the Easy Flute/Recorder arrangements for trio by Clarke Kimberling. These are excellent! My particular favourites from the above book of trios are: (They are in alphabetical order in the score table of contents):

Ayesha, Bulgarian Dance, Dorian Dance, 

El Marinero en el Mar, Lullabye 1

 and the lovely Wiltshire Meadow.

Highly recommend. Any flute trio of any age or ability level can manage these Kimberling trios. They're great rhythmic studies too. Very good writing. Enjoy!

Best, Jen
