Sweet (and Sour) Adeline
When Judy Diez d’Aux and Meerenai Shim commissioned me to write a piece for low flute choir, I asked whether they wanted something serious or something funny. I was so glad when they said funny! Because the low flutes are well adapted to mimic a barbershop quartet, I took the classic “Sweet Adeline” and turned it into a battle between Adeline and the bumptious Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair. Each pushes for dominance and dissonance ensues. Premiered at the National Flute Association convention in San Antonio, Aug. 2024. Available from ALRY Publications.

Soaring Spirits 2
I’m pleased to announce a new collection of flute duets from my good friends at Hope Publishing! Due to the success of Volume 1, we’ve put together another book of wonderful spiritual and hymn melodies, including peppy renditions of “This Train” and “Rock-a My Soul,” and soulful arrangements of “Amazing Grace” and “Wayfaring Stranger.” There are even a couple of titles appropriate for the holiday season: “Coventry Carol” and “Wexford Carol.” Available from Hope Publishing.
Welcome to Nish Music!
Flutists who have followed my website travails in the past know that I’ve been offline for over a year. Not having the time to learn new software to re-create my site for the umpteenth time, I was desperately searching for help when a chance post in Facebook’s Flute Forum brought an offer from Jill Tirone of DanceFit Marketing. We hit it off right away and I was able to tap into her expertise and extremely professional work ethic to update, create and launch the cool site you’re visiting now. Thanks, Jill!
