We were thrilled to learn this week that our Bach Flute Obbligatos with piano accompaniment has won first prize in the NFA Newly Published Music Awards! On top of that, the last couple of weeks have been a flurry of fluting with our Flutes in France course and a summer chamber festival on the horizon.
First Prize for Bach Obbligatos at NFA
The new edition contains six flute obbligatos from the Bach Cantatas with keyboard accompaniments. The arrangements mean that you can now perform Bach’s wonderful flute obbligatos as stand-alone pieces in both concert and worship settings.
Carefully edited with historically-appropriate articulation, dynamics and cadential trills. These flute obbligato arrangements can be used for practice and study before a full performance, or can stand alone as concert pieces thanks to the detailed and sensitive piano accompaniment.
Volume 2 of our flute obbligatos with piano accompaniment is available from music retailers worldwide, as well as in our new Digital Package containing PDF score and part plus FREE piano (A440) and harpsichord (A415) backing tracks exclusively from the Aurea Capra website. Choose “Digital Package” from the Format dropdown.
Here are the quick buy links for the digital edition, in the US, and in the UK.
Later this month, Dolce Classical Channel in Japan will be live-streaming a concert performance of Domine Deus from our 2022 NFA winner, J.S. Bach, Flute Obbligatos vol. 1. I’m so looking forward to hearing Powell Artist Rie Shimizu play this beautiful arrangement and will share the link with you once it’s up.
Update: Here’s Rie’s lovely performance of Domine Deus from our Flute Obbligatos vol. 1
