Christopher Rouse - Flute Concerto (Official Score Video)

Listen and follow along with our B&H Study Score Video featuring the official publisher's score of Christopher Rouse's Flute Concerto.
In honor of Rouse's heritage, the piece takes inspiration from Celtic music. From Rouse's program note:
"The first and last movements bear the title Amhrán (Gaelic for song) and are simple melodic elaborations for the solo flute over the accompaniment of orchestral strings. They were intended in a general way to evoke the traditions of Celtic, especially Irish, folk music but to couch the musical utterance in what I hoped would seem a more spiritual, even metaphysical, manner through the use of extremely slow tempi, perhaps not unlike some of the recordings of the Irish singer Enya."

Movement I "Amhrán": 00:00
Movement II "Alla Marcia": 04:18​
Movement III "Elegia": 08:50
Movement IV "Scherzo": 19:42
Movement V "Amhrán": 24:43
