The Christmas Flutist
20 Songs and Carols for Flute Alone Various Composers Arranged by Judy Nishimura Published by ALRY Publications, LLC F35 - $15.00 Have you ever been asked to play your flute at a Christmas party but couldn't because your accompanist wasn't invited? Then this collection of 20 solos for flute alone was written just for you! Also appropriate for use at church services, of course, or for student lessons in December to get into the holiday mood. REVIEW FROM CAROLYN NUSSBAUM MUSIC: This is it. This is the year. This is the time we have exactly one item on our Christmas recommendation list because it so perfectly fits a basic need: Christmas music for flute alone. But not just simple Christmas melodies -- we have here a book full of idiomatic solos that sound impressive while being near-sight-readable; the type of stuff you can, truly, fill a room with on your own...We cannot recommend this collection enough.
