Flute Orchestra (3 Fls, Afl, Bfl, Cbfl, Dcbfl (opt.), Perc. (opt.)) - Grade 2 to 7 SKU: WN.S009 Composed by Johann Strauss Jr. Arranged by Mel Orriss. Flutets series. Score and parts. Wonderful Winds #S009. Published by Wonderful Winds (WN.S009). ISBN 9790570742561.This lively Polka was written shortly after Strauss returned from a successful tour of Russia. There are various explanations of the quirky title, translated as "Chit Chat"; possibly it refers to the Viennese passion for gossip, or on the other hand may have been the name of his wife's poodle! This flute orchestra version makes use of the extended timbres of the flute family, with optional Double Contrabass for extra depth. There is also an optional Orchestral Whip and Swannee whistle in the easiest flute part, guaranteed to work wonders for the counting!
