Description:
This is an original composition with the melodies constructed in the style of a traditional Baroque minuet, but harmonized in a much later style. The quartet begins in E-flat major and switches to A-flat in the trio. In the trio section, flutes are paired for duets that will give each player the opportunity to be heard distinctly, requiring excellent tone, intonation and rhythm by all four players. Only limited range is required from high E-flat down to G in the staff. Duration is just under three minutes. There are frequent ritards, a tempi and other indications for rubato which offer excellent training in playing together as an ensemble. OMEA Class: C
