Is this more South of France? or Greek? Either way, it's a wonderful sunny piece for alto flute with plenty of opportunity to get those fingers moving.After a short, plaintive opening, to which the alto flute's tone colour adds an ethereal quality, there is a wild and ecstatic dance. Adapted from an original work for C flute, this piece is well suited to the alto.

SAMPLE:

The French composer, Mouquet, is best known to flute players for his slightly earlier work, 'La Flute de Pan'.
