THE SACRED FLUTIST - FLUTE SOLOS IN THE TIME OF PANDEMIC
At the start of the pandemic, Portland flutist Gail Gillespie encouraged me to write meaningful church arrangements for solo flute. I wrote 4 solos and posted them free to this website for anyone who wanted to use them. The next logical step was to expand to a full book (24 titles, including the original 4), which could serve as a companion volume to the Christmas book listed below. With the limitations imposed by COVID, I've had time to let my imagination loose on the possibilities for the solitary flutist. Now available from ALRY.

THE CHRISTMAS FLUTIST - For Flute Alone
I just know everybody's been wondering where those Christmas books for unaccompanied flute are! I didn't, actually, but the more I think about it, the more I believe that there's a place in our repertoire for a single solitary flutist playing Christmas tunes. They fit in very well as a church service prelude or for when you haven't got your favorite accompanist with you. A lot of the "plainsong" type songs have been included, such as "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," "Of the Father's Love Begotten," and "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence" to name a few. Of course, you'll be able to find arrangements of favorites like "Angels We Have Heard on High," "Silent Night," "Joy to the World," etc. Check it out here!
