Tune of the Day: Fantasia for Solo Flute No. 4

It's been a while since we last posted a Telemann Fantasia, so here we are.

Telemann's Fantasia No. 4 for Solo Flute is in the key of B-flat major. It is structured like a “modern” sonata in three movements, slow-fast-fast. More precisely, it starts with an Andante which has many jumps between the first and second register, then switches to a triple-time Allegro, and finally ends on a Presto in da capo form.

Tune of the Day: Kiss Me Sweetheart

This jig first appeared in Francis O'Neill's collection Music of Ireland, published in 1903. O'Neill's source for the tune was Chicago Police Sergeant and fiddler James O'Neill (no relation), originally from County Down in Ireland.

Tune of the Day: Study in G major by Karg-Elert

This light and fast 4/8-time piece is the twelfth étude from Sigfried Karg-Elert's 30 Caprices: a “Gradus ad Parnassum” of the modern technique for flute solo.

Tune of the Day: Allegro by Loeillet

This is the second movement of an A-minor sonata composed by Jean-Baptiste Loeillet around 1710. The sonata, originally written for recorder and continuo, has been arranged for two flutes.

Thanks to Lauryn for suggesting this piece!

Tune of the Day: La donna è mobile

“La donna è mobile” (“Woman is fickle”) is the cynical Duke of Mantua's song from Giuseppe Verdi's 1851 opera Rigoletto. The inherent irony is that it is the callous playboy Duke himself who is mobile (“inconstant”) This canzone is famous as a showcase for tenors, and has been recorded by Enrico Caruso, Mario Lanza, Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti and hundreds of others. Before this song's first public performance, which took place in Venice, it was rehearsed under tight secrecy: a necessary precaution, because it proved to be catchy and soon after its first public performance every gondolier in Venice was singing it!
