FAURÉ APRÈS UN RÊVE: 12 MELODIES FOR ALTO FLUTE AND PIANO
arranged and edited by Elisabeth Parry and John Alley
Fauré music for alto flute and piano. This collection brings together 12 of Gabriel Fauré’s most beautiful songs and melodies, arranged for alto flute and piano. From Après un rêve and Clair de lune to Les berceaux, Notre amour and Au bord de l’eau, Fauré’s lyrical vocal writing is particularly well suited to the rich, expressive sound of the alto flute.
Chris Hankin, Just Flutes reviewer writes: “These sumptuous gems are ideally suited to the warmer colours of the alto flute. Faure could certainly pen a melody and so there are plenty of options to choose from. Especially wonderful are Lydia with it’s expressive shaping of the phrase, the running semiquavers in Notre Amour and the darkness of Automne. Après un Rêve is extra special. This is a great book – don’t miss it!”

Chris Hankin –
These sumptuous gems are ideally suited to the warmer colours of the alto flute. Faure could certainly pen a melody and so there are plenty of options to choose from. Especially wonderful are Lydia with it’s expressive shaping of the phrase, the running semiquavers in Notre Amour and the darkness of Automne. Après un Rêve is extra special. This is a great book – don’t miss it!
