♫ ───────────────────────────────────────
Today's concert opens with a full concerto performance for which we would have heard piano and two flutes in a live lunchtime concert.

But online we get to enjoy larger forces when we want to. So here are Sir James and Lady Jeanne Galway as soloists.

Cimarosa lived almost his entire life in Naples. There he composed over 80 operas, and much instrumental and sacred music. His stomach cancer finally overtook him during exile in Venice. He had backed the wrong side during the French occupation of Naples.



What does one call a flute player?

Are they flautists, flutists, fluters, flutenists, or merely flute-players? The allegedly US term flutist is gaining momentum. Allegedly? Well, like pavement, when the early settlers left England for America the term meant the same in both places. And so it is with flutist, the usual term in England around 1603.     more here under 'Etymology'
Domenico Cimarosa (1749-1801)
Concerto per 2 flauti e orchestra in sol maggiore (G major)  G177 (1793)

I Allegro moderately fast (4/4)
II [No tempo] (3/4, E♭ major)
III Rondo. Allegretto ma non tanto 
slightly slower than allegro, but not too much (6/8)

performed by: Sir James Galway, Lady Jeanne Galway, flutes
Ada Pelleg, conducting Paris Voxmusicorum Orchestra
during their 2016 Israel Tour



Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (1698-1755)
from Six Concertos for Five Flutes (1727)
Concerto for 5 flutes in A minor


performed by Tónleikar í Listasafni Íslands Icelandic Flute Ensemble
Berglind Stefánsdóttir  •  Björn Davíð Kristjánsson  •  Jón Guðmundsson
Kristrún Helga Björnsdóttir  •  María Cederborg


In Iceland the players are called flautuleikari.

Here is one of the six concertos for 5 flutes which Boismortier composed.

Boismortier had no patron to fund him. But what he did have, and what brought him substantial fortunes, was a licence from the King to print music.

This made him a self-published composer, selling direct to the public.

In these concertos for five flutes we find the historic first occasion on which a French composer used the Italian concerto form.

Flauto de pico, flauta de bec, flûte à bec, Blockflöte, flauto diritto, flauto dolce, or as we might say, recorder-flute, or more usually the recorder.

Here is the wooden predecessor to the modern transverse flute, although humans have been blowing through bits of nature, including animal bones, since at least 42,000 BC.

During the lives of Bach, Handel, and their contemporaries the move to the wooden transverse flute began. So, much of their 'flute' music was actually written with the sound of what we now call the recorder in mind.

David Antich is a Spanish professor of flute and recorder performance and of early music, based in Murcia.

Georg Friederich Händel (1685-1759)
Sonata for Recorder in F major HWV 369 (c1712)

I: Grave or Larghetto    solemn, a little broad
II: Allegro    moderately fast
III: Alla siciliana or Siciliana    like a slow jog or tarantella
IV: Allegro

performed by David Antich, recorder
Leonardo Luckert, cello & Ignasi Jordà, harpsichord

While searching for the classical version of this piece I came across a couple of old friends of Leatherhead's Lunchtime Concerts.

Recorder and sax player Tom Ridout was at the Royal Academy of Music Jazz Dept immediately after his celebrated viola-playing cousin Tim finished at RAM.

Tom played our first ever annual jazz spot a few years ago, the year in fact, in which his trumpet-playing sister Alexandra had won the BBC Young Musician of the Year.

His bass-player then as in these videos was Flo Moore. Here, they are with guitarist Billy Marrows.

They have only recorded the first two movements of the Sonata. On the left, their 'straight' version, on the right, Tom has done a little work on the score.



What do you do when you hear that your work's premiere will be in a concert with a Bach Brandenburg concerto?

What John Rutter decided was to produce a suite in six movements for the same ensemble - harpsichord, flute, and string orchestra.

The Antique Suite has six movements ranging from `a Bach-like Aria' to a 'Richard Rodgers-style Waltz'. Rutter's own style comes through most strongly in the final Rondeau with its characteristically forward-driving rhythms and beautiful melodic lines.

Evoking an 'antique' spirit, each movement is based on a Baroque or Classical style.

Antique Suite
works well for flute and piano, as this pair of recordings demonstrate.

The performers here are Shin-jung Oh, who plays a rose-gold flute by Powell Flutes of Boston, and Heo Jung-hwa, piano:

ENCORE

Our visiting musicians often go for a complete change of mood when it comes to the encore. So here is something we have not heard in our concerts before.

This is latin jazz from flutist Dave Valentin playing Obsession. The piece is based on the bolero song Obsesión by Puerta Rican songwriter Pedro Flores. The words translate very roughly as:

However high the sky, however deep the sea, the world has no barriers that my profound love cannot break.

It also includes the phrase: Amor es el pan de la vida, amor es la copa divina - Love is the bread of life, love is the divine cup.
Producer: Peter Steadman
