Current Music: Into the Woods - Agony

(no subject)

Okay, so, now that the zombie uprising is done with*, I've got a question to ask!

See, I'm a (lapsed) flautist. But... the last group I played with, in high school was actually sort of dominated by strings. So, I know jack about actual flute music - we never played anything with an actual flute part, I would be given the violin part and have to transpose from there.

I have just added to my list of projects a short doujinshi in which a hobby flautist plays a couple of pieces for practice in the morning.

So, uh. I know there are music-educated entities on my flist. Anyone know of a couple nice, preferably classical, flute pieces that Miles Edgeworth would probably enjoy playing? ♥

*Thanks to everyone who blogged it. It was AWESOME to wake up and find half my flist raving about zombies. ♥ Best apocalypse ever.

What really surprised me is that my flist is comprised of a number of different social groups (comicsfen, conjunction, guildies, etc) and pretty much every one of them was under zombie attack.

I wasn't, of course, but like I said that's because everyone knows London has the world's fastest zombies and if they had come for me I would have been eaten already.

I -think- the ride of the valkyries is for flute, or has a flute piece. And I think the Minuet/Bardineri as well...

Man, I had to do the transposition thing in high school, too. I think I was transposing from trombone music or something, though, for whatever reason. A-flat is a bitch.

I was kind of in the opposite situation for two years: no string/full orchestra, but the school across town had a wind ensemble, so I was given bassoon parts. Cellos and bassoons have similar ranges, so they're written in the same clef, but bassoons can go a whole step lower than cellos; our lowest note is the open C string and I kept running into low Bs and B flats, so I'd have to play those up an octave. That was weird. [/babble]

Uh...flute pieces. I should know more, especially since a flute player was my carpool ride for those two years, but I don't. Mozart wrote a double concerto for violin and flute...there are a lot of other flute sonatas or concertos; I just don't know enough by composer.

Miles Edgeworth would never admit to enjoying anything in public, other than winning in court, or possibly seeing Phoenix squirm*. But I know a couple of dedicated, DS-owning flautists, so I'll ask around.

[*Ambiguity intentional. On a scale of one to ten, the two of them are up around "Sora & Riku", or, in layman's terms, "the point where my mother starts cracking jokes and wondering aloud why anyone is even pretending to be interested in the girl".]

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach is an easy classic, but so pretty when done right. Same with Moonlight Sonata.
