Serenade Op. 35 by Howard Hanson Flute Solo - Sheet Music

By Howard Hanson

Howard Hanson composed Serenade, Op. 25 as a wedding present to his wife, A couple of somewhat darker sections provide some contrast, but the clouds lift rather quickly, leading back to the more pastoral music that dominates this work as well as the Pastorale. This piece is everything a composer's wedding gift to his bride should be: ardent, romantic, and lovely. Despite the tenderness of the music, it flows along with a considerable rhythmic impulse. Using one of the special scales that Hanson sometimes devised for himself, it possesses unusual and original twists to the melodies which give it an indefinable flavor. This gentle six-minute work is a genuine treasure in the flute's repertoire of short pieces, second only to Griffes' Poem among American contributions to that literature.

VERY displeased with the service - I selected expedited shipping with time to spare, yet I did not receive the order until AFTER the concert I was to perform at. At that time, the music became unnecessary.
