Tune of the Day: Claudine Lived Contented
Song by William Shield, arranged for two flutes
This flute duet is taken from Blake's Young Flutist's Magazine, published in 1833. “Claudine Lived Contented” was originally a song with music by English composer and violinist William Shield, which he apparently composed for Thomas Dibdin's 1807 comic opera Two Faces Under a Hood.
