Tune of the Day: Together Let Us Range
arranged for two flutes
This duet was originally part of English composer and organist William Boyce's Solomon. Composed in 1742, Boyce's Solomon is not, like Handel's, a biblical oratorio about a wise king; it is a secular serenata (a type of Baroque cantata performed outdoors in the evening) with words based on the Song of Solomon.
The present arrangement for two flutes appeared in Blake's Young Flutist's Magazine, published in Philadelphia in 1833.
