Roz's notes: This graceful, lilting music [originally for flute and piano] was recommended and introduced to me by flautist Kristien Van Loocke. It makes an effective transcription for 3 flutes that would be a charming addition to a student concert or any other programme. The third flute mostly is required to play in the low range, and so may optionally be played on an Alto flute.
