    Sussex Carol – Flute Quartet

    The Sussex Carol is a Christmas carol popular in Britain, sometimes referred to by its first line “On Christmas night all Christians sing”. It became associated with Sussex because it was collected at Monk’s Gate by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and he subsequently used it in his Fantasia on Christmas Carols.

    Each verse is made up of two couplets, with the second having three-measure phrasing rather than the standard two- or four-bar phrasing. In addition, there’s a measure with an extra beat, which adds to the charm of the piece.

    Measures 13-15 can be played down an octave if it’s too high for your group. That also includes measure 16 for Flute 1.

    The flute quartets can easily be expanded to flute choir by adding both alto and bass flutes. The Alto Flute part is included and the bass plays Flute 4.

    Duration/# of Pages: ca. 2:20 / 12 pages, 8.5″ x 11″

    Timeless – Flute Choir

    The past, present and future are combined in this flute choir, commissioned by Bruce Harrell to celebrate his love for his wife, Barbara. The past includes a madrigal by Giovanni Gabrieli and a brief excerpt from an Anton Bruckner motet. The present includes original music written to showcase the ensemble. The future, of course, remains unknown. Written for five C flutes, alto flute and bass flute, this will be a welcome addition to the flute choir repertoire.

    The excerpt recording was taken from the premiere performance, performed at the Harrell’s home in a surprise concert for Barbara.

    Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day – Flute Quartet

    This traditional English carol first appeared in 1833, but it likely much older. Its origin is most likely in the medieval mystery play, which represented the Bible stories as tableaux with accompanying antiphonal songs. Many composers have arranged this traditional tune, including Gustav Holst and Igor Stravinsky.

    The flute quartets can easily be expanded to flute choir by adding both alto and bass flutes. The Alto Flute part is included and the bass plays Flute 4.
