“Network of Stars” #HighSpiritsFlutes #Music

Posted on by

I wrote and posted “Network of Stars”
here
in July. It was played on double strung harp and alto recorder. However, I wrote the piece for Native-American style flutes in the minor pentatonic scale. So, today I play it on ukulele and 432HZ flutes from High Spirits. You’ll hear first the A minor flute, then the bass in E minor. Enjoy the Koshi Aria/Air, Koshi Ignis/Fire, and Zaphir Twilight/Autumn chimes as well!

The double I wanted in the first place, this A minor flute is lower than the hummingbird. It has a feather engraving and requires much more breath to play. This means playing shorter phrases and taking more frequent breaths. While I chose the hummingbird for its engraving and symbolism, this one is more practical for me. I play more in A minor and C major, which are very accessible keys on this flute. Having said that, these Nova Double Flutes are beautiful, and each has its place!

“The Last Rose of Summer” #Music

Posted on by

“The Last Rose of Summer” is set to a traditional Irish tune called “Aisling an Óigfhear”, or “The Young Man’s Dream.” The poem was written by Thomas Moore in 1805.

Here is this beautiful melody played on zither, lyre with Oriole (soprano) Recorder, and double strung harp. It also includes Ocean Drum to evoke the Irish coast.

I hope you enjoy “The Last Rose of Summer!”
