Review
“. . . an innovative commissioning project. While all contemporary in sound, [the variations] feature a range of styles and influences, from modal, improvisatory pieces to Copland-inspired works. I’ll be hunting out the relevant sheet music (and artwork) in due course.” Elizabeth Green, Pan (London)

The Banks of Ayre
for solo fluteedited: Jan Boland.
Pub: ALRY Publications
A Scottish folk tune with variations from Patterson’s New Preceptor (1839). This is not a work for flute and guitar, but a fun Celtic piece I wanted to include on this website. For flute alone. Consists of a theme and two variations. The fun comes when the player creates Celtic ornaments and style to bring this little piece alive.
