Allen is arranged as an instrumental trio (for two C-instruments with piano accompaniment). The beautiful, lyrical style of this instrumental piece creates a warm, pleasant ambiance and is an ideal selection for a church setting.All parts get to lead with the melody at times (even the piano) making it fun for all players and adding variety for the listeners. The FLUTE plays the melody for the first verse, PIANO on the second verse, then concludes with the VIOLIN on the melody for the third verse. This arrangement begins in the key of D major, then transitions to the key of G major, and concludes with the last verse returning to the key of D major.Though notated with FLUTE on part 1 and VIOLIN on part 2, the ranges are also accessible for other combinations of C instruments (2 violins, 2 flutes, etc.). Ranges are as follows: FLUTE (part 1) ~ first F# above middle C to the second B above (F#4 to B5); VIOLIN (part 2) ~ first D above middle C to the second A above (D4 to A5).   All notes for the violin on either part are playable in the first position making this piece an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players.The purchase price includes a 6-page combined score with all parts on each page plus separate scores for the FLUTE and VIOLIN (2 pages each) and a PIANO only score (4 pages).
