Marina for flute quintet

This is a pleasant Greek piece composed by Mikis Theodorakis, the great 1964 film composer of “Zorba the Greek” with Anthony Quinn. It became very popular as if it had a long tradition in Greek culture. Denis Barbier has introduced new harmonies in this arrangement that give it a nice unique flavor. It could be played as well by a quintet, or by a large flute choir. The style of performance must be with great tenderness.
