Published by MDC Music LLC (A0.1159545). 6 Flutes: F1-4/AF4/BF5/C6The Overature to one of Rameau's most famous works.  Here's a little music history for you."Dacier's examination of contemporary newsletters (nouvelles a la main) allows us to follow the shifting opinions almost day by day.  There was a solid body of Rameau supporters - they were nicknamed "ramoneurs", a word which means "chimney-sweep" - determined to applaud the opera at all costs and turn its performance into a triumph.  And there were the usual discontented reactionaries, with the old complaints of discordant harmony and no melody - the stock-in-trade of musical anti-modernists at all periods.  The work was so stuffed with music, they declared, that for three whole hours no one in the orchestra had time even to sneeze."Excerpt fromJean-Phillipe RameauCuthbert GirdlestoneCount me a ramoneur!Tempo: 90/120Duration: 4 minutes 30 secondsFlute Choir.
