(IMG:style_emoticons/default/eek.gif) I have been asked to play flute in church one Sunday during communion - something peaceful and reflective. I've so far dug out a selection of Mozart / Faure / Franck pieces for violin and piano, but just wondering if anyone has any other ideas? It doesn't have to be very long. I'm a G6 flautist, but would rather play something a bit easier so I'm less likely to have a nervous derailment. Also, (never having tried it before) the accompaniment would be organ: would flute and organ work well together?

Thanks!


Edit: Maybe I should have posted this in Viva Woodwind....
Any chance of it being moved? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Some Baroque slow movements work well and are suited to organ accompaniment. However you'll need to check that they finish with a perfect cadence as some expect an attacca to the following fast movement. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Off the top of my head: Siciliano from the Eb major sonata attrib. J S Bach, Cantabile from the G major sonata by Telemann (on the alternative Grade 7 list, but the first movement is very manageable), or the third movement of the J S Bach E minor sonata (again Grade 7, but technically within your grasp).

Hmmm, that's the problem with quite a few that I had earmarked as possibilities. But thank you for these suggestions. I will have to see if I can stretch to splashing out on a bit more music!

....or indeed the cracking 1st movement of the J S Bach E Minor Sonata - it's an absolute corker!

With two recommendations to its name, I think this is one I should look into. Will just arm myself with my credit card, and wander off to musicroom.......

Thanks. Is it BWV 1034?

J S Bach E Minor Sonata

I have been searching online for a copy of this, but can't seem to get it on its own except for one that has guitar accompaniment. I'm wondering if I need to buy a volume of flute sonatas that includes this one. Please could someone send me a link? Would prefer Barenreiter if possible....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I have played the Siciliano by Bach with flute and organ accompaniment, its from one of the flute suites/sonatas. Dont have it in front of me just now but its in G Minor. It works very well, I also have an organ only arrangement which I sometimes play in church.

It's the one from the E flat major sonata, a mainstay of the Grade 4 syllabus. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

If they are otherwise suitable, would it be very naughty to change the cadence?

Thank you - that's exactly what I was looking for, and failing to find!

I can sense a Bach phase coming on.......

I had wondered about that too! Possibly not - or at least probably not for this particular congregation, who are unlikely to have the foggiest about what I am playing in any case.
