Here's a musical link for you, only good for a certain number of downloads and something like 15 days, but some of you can get to it, I'm sure.
This is Arthur Honegger's "Romance" for flute and piano, played live in concert by Sarabande (that's me on the piano and my dear friend Cindy Livingston on flute) this summer in Vermont. We discovered this rarely played piece and just fell in love with it. The interpretation is quite ours, and we were pleased with the effect. I hope you like it. Do tell, if you listen.

It is very lovely! I am listening to it right now. You play beautifully! Cindy is very smooth on the flute. I love this kind of music.
Do you know that when I attended Interlochen they required us to attend like 3 concerts or a play or some sort of performance 3 times per week for our citizenship credit and grade. I actually just loved it! This reminds me of those days! I also just love the symphony and solo performances by local and other well known artists. Piano and Harp are my next venture, but not until we get our house so we can have the instraments in our home. Want to teach me? :)
Wonderful! It's a lovely, very haunting piece. It sounds so professional - good job!!
Thanks you for this. Its nice to hear how 2 instuments can be arranged to compliment the movement. I have this in my IPOD and it will become a good example for the artist I produce that have problems with arrangement.
Wow, that's very nice feedback.
We play a flute-and-piano duo concert every summer in Vermont. Choosing the music to play is a wonderful process. The Honegger piece was a new discovery and we so enjoyed forging our own way with it.
Usually with classical music, the piece has been recorded and performed and there is some sense of it in the classical world...this one was more of an enigma, which made it all the better for our interpretation. All we really had was the score and what little we know of Honegger.
We love this piece and couldn't wait to share it with the audience. It's so short, but so eloquent. Not like me (I'm rarely short).
Thanks for listening. There's lots more where that came from.
It was recorded live by our wonderful recording engineer, Peter Engisch, of Ad Astra Recording Studio in Vermont. He's an awesome musician and records our concerts every year.
Darling, you MUST tell me what is giong on with Joe!

Dear Molly, Ballerinagurl,
I'd forgotten about your Interlochen connection. Imagine if we all continued that 3 concerts or a play or performance/week regimen for our entire lives? How much more evolved we'd be!
I do go to a lot of concerts, not as many as I'd like, and always galleries when I'm on a trip, or taking a day off. It's rare to make the time to go to an art gallery in my own city, but I did that recently with my teenager, and WOW! I'm still thinking about the stuff I saw. We met the director of the gallery and saw his work, too, and I got a crush on him.
What else is new?
giggle
Hugs, Brina
