Summer Dreams

Description

Flute 1, Piccolo, Flute 2, Flute 3, Alto Flute, Bass Flute, Contrabass Flute — Amy Beach (1867–1944) was a pioneering American composer and pianist, renowned as the first American woman to compose and publish a symphony. A child prodigy, she displayed remarkable musical talent from an early age, which led to a distinguished career as both a performer and composer. Summer Dreams, Op. 47, is a suite of six short pieces originally written for piano four hands. Each movement is paired with a poetic excerpt that reflects the imagery and mood of the music. In this flute choir arrangement, the suite captures the whimsy and charm of children at play during summertime.
