About this arrangement

Flute Trio (Fl.1/Picc, Fl.2, Afl) - Grade 7+ SKU: WN.D014 (The Wren) Fantaisie - Polka. Composed by E Damare. Arranged by Mel Orriss. Flutets series. Score and parts. Wonderful Winds #D014. Published by Wonderful Winds (WN.D014). ISBN 9790570743582.Eugene Damaré (1840-1919) was an accomplished flautist, and pieces for flute and piccolo feature heavily amongst his 400+ works. La Tourterelle (The Wren) was originally written as a piccolo showpiece, and exists in several versions accompanied by piano or bands of different sorts. Set here for a trio of mixed flutes, the piccolo makes its appearance half way through the piece and saves its high flying acrobatics for the final sections - (a little kinder on the ears), but the bubbling song of the wren can be heard throughout, contrasting with some more robust passges lead by the alto flute. A great showpiece for advanced trio.
