And Everybody Loves You - for flute quartet by Michel Plourde
The first draft of this piece comes from somewhere in college before I knew how to properly arrange for an ensemble (given the notation in soprano, alto, tenor and bass clefs!!), so I'm guessing around 1986 (the style fits that period too: tonal, somewhat contrapuntal). The date I have on the first arrangement is 1990 which is when I arranged it for recorder quartet (realized on my S1000), but it was too high. Since I'm still renting the alto flute I decided to arrange it for flute quartet: flute, 2 altos and a bass in G or contrabass flute, down an octave from the 1990 arrangement. I've never done a performance video with the score, and I have some graphic scores I want to eventually do, so I thought I'd practice with a few simpler pieces (starting with this one). I'm too close to the camera - I want to see the whole flute. Ah well, next video.
