Flute and Piano
About
Flautist/Composer, Ian Clarke composed ‘Sunstreams’ in 1986 and ‘Sunday Morning in 1987. This set of two pieces by Ian Clarke is of moderate tempo and difficulty.
No extended techniques are used in ‘Sunstreams’ and the showy middle section fits comfortably under the fingers. ‘Sunday Morning’ requires the player to explore the 4th octave as well as timbral trills.
About Sunday Morning
Partially inspired by Lionel Richie’s rendition of ‘Easy Like Sunday Morning’ Sunday Morning certainly has the feeling of a Sunday morning about it. Originally written for flute, keyboards, guitar, bass guitar & drums, Clarke later adapted this piece for piano & flute.
Both pieces come from a group of pieces that were originally co-written by Ian Clarke, Simon Painter and David Hicks when working together in the studio and as a performing rock group. They have subsequently been reworked by Ian for flute and piano; in their original form, they were for flute, guitars, keyboards & drums.
