Tune of the Day: La Cordelle
arranged for two flutes
This duet is taken from Blake's Young Flutist's Magazine, published in Philadelphia in 1833. Judging by its title, it is probably based on a traditional French dance tune, even though we were not able to track down its origins. A cordelle is a kind of rope or ribbon used in some traditional French dances, particularly in the region of Provence.
