The Flutewise Theme! for flute ensemble (2010)
The Flutewise Theme is a Graded Flute Choir piece perfect for an upbeat and groovy addition to your flute ensemble concert, or flute day!
My aim was to bring the exciting world of contemporary/extended techniques for the flute to a wider audience through accessible, fun music that can both welcome and also challenge flute players of all ages and standards.
Flutewise Theme is my first original flute choir composition - having been arranging other people's compositions for quite a number of years, since its Premiere Performance at the Flute Academy at the Purcell School in 2010 - this piece has gone on to become a favourite at flute events all over the world.
