FLUTE OBBLIGATOS (ED. & ARR. PARRY & ALLEY) AUREA CAPRA - Score/Parts J.S. Bach's flute works include sonatas and unaccompanied partitas, which are like scriptures for flutists, but there are also many beautiful flute melodies in his sacred works such as masses. This score collects excellent flute obbligatos from Bach's representative sacred works like the St. Matthew Passion, St. John Passion, and Mass in B minor. While traditional collections of such obbligatos often consist of just the flute parts extracted from the original pieces, akin to orchestral scores, this edition keeps the flute parts largely original and arranges the vocal and orchestral parts into piano accompaniment, making them playable as standalone pieces. Sacred works can often be long and seem daunting, but these pieces are truly beautiful and deeply moving. While professional orchestral players might not often have the opportunity to perform these, being able to play them in this independent format is a joy for flutists. They could even be used as encores for concerts.
