Description
The melodies in this work are based on my unpublished 1979 setting of "The expotition to the North Pole" from A A Milne's book "Now we are six" in the Winnie the Pooh series (under the title "The Poohratorio"). Clearly the Poohratorio itself cannot yet be published due to copyright on the text, but the melodies that it inspired have led to various pieces including a Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis (Canticula Ursae Minoris) and various sextets (Songs of a little Bear) including this flute sextet/flute choir.
As suggested in the score, the ideal positioning would be to have all flutes in choir 1 on one side of the stage and all flutes in choir 2 on the other side (ie antiphonally).
The pdf file contains score and parts and also includes an optional piccolo part to take the place of flute 1.
The sound sample is an electronic preview.
