Ave Maria (Franz Schubert)

Song:  Ave Maria (Franz Schubert)

Composer:  Franz Schubert

Flute:  Alexander Lipay

This is a beautiful song.

Watch for the Pick Up Measure just before the repeat
(It has only one quarter rest for the measure).

Colour My World

Song:  Colour My World

Group:  Chicago

Sorry...

I had to repost this as I had noticed a misplaced note late in the score.

When I had attempted to correct it...

the music scribing program hadn't saved it.

When I reopened it...

it was a much earlier version.

I made some corrections to the score...

and I saved it.

So...

here is the corrected version.

On the second page...first measure...

first note...

it is not the correct note because it originally went below the lower range 

of my bass flute...

so, I had to raise the note to one which sounds good enough 

to not feel too out of place.

My elder sister is now practicing the piano portion (Flute II)...

and I believe her husband will play the bass guitar.

 I will be practicing the flute for the flute I portion.

Ave Maria (Astor Piazzolla)

Song:  Ave Maria 

Original Composer:  Astor Piazzolla

Bass Flute / Concert Flute:  Mirella Pantano

Piano:  Nicoletta Evangelista

I really love this song.

The flutist - Mirella Pantano... plays both flutes beautifully.

I had learned much on this one.

I will be attempting the song Ave Maria by Franz Schubert next.

Love Theme From "Twin Peaks"

Song:  Love Theme From "Twin Peaks"

Original Composer:  Angelo Badalamenti

Updated version.

Although this song only took me a few hours to complete...

it is a very beautiful song due to its simplicity.

Wishing You Were Here

Song:  Wishing You Were Here

Original:  Chicago

Cover:  Leonid & Friends

This is one of my favorite love ballads by Chicago.

I had used this cover because they are excellent.

They sound like Chicago at their best...

and since they had recorded it fairly recently...

this cover is crisp and clear...

allowing me to discern each note far more easily.

For the most part...
this is a transcription...however...

I had modified the ending a bit.

Black Orpheus - Transcription / Modification

Song:  Black Orpheus

C Flute:  Dave Hines

This is my latest Transcription / Transposition / Modification.

A Jazz piece in a Bossa Nova Beat...

and heavily modified by me...

especially from the beginning of the second page.

I had also cut out much from the middle of the first page...

as it was much of the flutist's solo work.

As this is a solo...

unless you can find someone to play a Bossa Nova beat...

I wanted to keep the song recognizable...

with a minimum of solo flying.

By the second page...

I had become familiarized with jazz enough to finish the song without 

using the above song to refer to as I emplaced the notes which 

seemed to flow with the piece...

and I had finished the song in my own manner.

These last two pieces I had used to familiarize myself 

with Rhythm and Blues (previous song)...

and with Jazz (this song).

They were both challenging as the timing was such that I had to listen very 

carefully for the changes and emphasis points.

For my next transcription...

I am thinking of a love ballad...

originally from the group...

Chicago.

As it will only consist of one line...

I will have to fill the single lines with multi instruments and vocals...

and make them blend as much as possible.

This is what will make the next piece challenging.

However...

if while I am attempting to blend the notes from multiple sources

 to be played just on the flute...

it does not sound right...

I will scrap the attempt.

I will have to delve into the song first.

Hopefully...

it will work out.
