Hi! My name is Heline and I am a Finnish flute player. I make flute covers, improvise and play classical music. I also create informational videos about flute playing and some other instruments I play (Akai Pro EWI5000, ocarina, dizi).

@justgivemethetruth Год назад

Originally this was off the Divinties album ... humbly subtitled 12 dances with god? One thing that one of the former band members said about Ian and Jethro Tull is that it was a lot to do with tricky time signatures. This song in particular squeezes in a few extra notes on the flute, ( at 5:28 or so, just when you later stopped and reviewed ) and then the strings go off in a different rhythm ... this is a little different from the version on the Divinities album itself. It's a pretty good album, especially for someone with a classical bent. And the different flutes on this album were mostly bamboo flutes.

A little story that may amuse you. At one point many years ago in the USA Whitesnake were touring in support of Tull. Lead singer of 'snake in an interview complained that Tull would gig several nights in a row hardly having a night of. He finished his comment about this with the words "and Ian Anderson did it all on one bloody leg!"😂. The image of him on one leg playing is iconic.

This piece original comes from the Divinities album, which was Ian’s second solo album (although Andy Giddings contributed massively in terms of arrange it for an orchestra and, indeed, provided most of the orchestral sounds on his keyboards). The smaller flute is, I believe, a bamboo flute, which Ian started using a lot of at the time this piece was written in the 90s. This song is allegedly inspired by Tull’s former bass player Dave Pegg (who is great) who, being fond of his beer, was often “in the grip of stronger stuff’. At least this is what Ian once claimed, although he may have been having a joke at Pegg’s expense. If you like this, you really should listen to the whole of the Divinities album. It’s fantastic.

@MrTomlette 4 года назад

Pibroch (Cap in hand) is one of their most peculiar songs in which the flute features quite a bit. A song that goes from serious to sweet to hard-rock to melancholic, it's one of my favorites, although I don't know if it's a great display of the flute in an of itself (I don't know much about the technical aspect of music, so I can't judge if what he's playing is easy or not :P). Great work!

As usual, great post! Heline, I've always been a fan of Jethro Tull and Mr. Anderson. I'm now hooked on your posts as well. I realize that what you and Mr. Anderson have in common is not just the flute, but a love of music and of playing! I am sure that if Jethro Tull never happened, Mr. Anderson still would have been wandering around Scotland playing music all these years. Likewise, if RU-vid didn't exist and you weren't as good as you are, you would still be playing everyday. That is a wondrous thing.

My favourite Tull album is a classic case in 1985 with the London Symphony Orchestra. I bought several vinyl copies at the time. In the 1990s he learnt from his daughter who was taking flute lessons that his fingering was wrong so he took time out to learn properly and correct it.

@ymmit7459 4 года назад

I heard/read that same story somewhere. Makes sense, Mr Anderson was self-taught the flute, so how would he know his fingering was "incorrect" unless someone told him? And who would tell him Tull was already a huge success?

I think he’s a marvel especially considering he traded in his guitar for a flute and never took lessons. He has a true gift considering this instrument is not n easy on to master. It’s a little harder than it looks. Especially the piccolo, . Thanks for sharing. We would love to hear you and your versions of any Jethro. Flute solo.

@ihaveriffs8261 4 года назад

He often does alternating bars of different time signatures, such as 7/8 and 9/8, which he will occasionally explain before playing it live. The song Boris Dancing is actually titled after the idea that it is difficult to dance to and may result in injury. He used various versions of this joke for years, as intros to songs like these as well as Eurology and even going as far back as Living In the Past.

No offense but I'm missing the concept here. The fact as to whether Ian uses his pinky is irrelevant. Pat Metheny uses his thumb when he plays guitar. Both men are huge successes. Multi-talented millionaires. Songs writers. Sure, the floutest in the first seat in the NY Philharmonic may have better technique and use their pinky but no one has every heard of that person. And no one cares. I hope you asked Ian if you could do this first before making money from him. Yawn!
