L’AMOUR: FRENCH ROMANTIC MELODIES.
French music for flute arranged and edited by Elisabeth Parry and John Alley
A collection of French music for flute and piano by Gounod, Saint-Saëns, Massenet, Hahn, Chausson, Duparc, Offenbach and Godard. Ideal short concert pieces for players of all standards.
From our reviews: “This selection of short arrangements is perfect if you’d like to indulge in some lovely French melody! From the gorgeous ‘Softly Awakes my Heart’ to Gounod’s ‘Je veux vivre’ there is a good spread of styles here with Duparc’s haunting ‘Rapture’ being a particular highlight and the ‘Doll Song’ from Offenbach’s Tales of Hoffman the most substantial. The arrangements are great too so buy and enjoy!” Chris Hankin
