Thunder and Lightning (Unter Donner und Blitz) for flute ensemble

The rolling thunder of the bass and alto flutes and the lightning flashes of the piccolo describe a “thunderstorm” in a noble living room of 19th century Old Europe. This delightful arrangement is pure fun for all five flutists in the ensemble and makes a lively encore.

This arrangement received an honorable mention in the National Flute Association‘s 2014 Newly Published Music competition.
