Ottorino Respighi

Ancient Airs and Dances Suite No. 1

Respighi's Mascherada from Ancient Airs and Dances Suite No 1 is now available for flute ensemble, arranged by Paige Dashner Long. This arrangement was premiered in July of 2010 by the New England Conservatory Summer Metropolitan Flute Festival Orchestra in New England Conservatory's renowned Jordan Hall. With careful attention to dynamic contrast, articulation and tempi changes, Passo mezzo e Mascherada beautifully showcases the different colors of a flute ensemble. Welcome to the masquerade ball! For intermediate-level players.
