DOWNLOAD SHEETMUSIC HERE: hermanbeeftink... Trio: Flute, Alto flute and Piano Composed by Herman Beeftink (BMI) Flute and Alto flute performed by Rama Kumaran Piano performed by Herman Beeftink Published by Elite Source Music (BMI)
I have played the flute since I was 8 (35 now) I lost my passion for music in my 20s when I started suffering from complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, to the point I could not function on a daily basis. Felt like I lost a whole part of myself. I bought a new flute last week and have been on the hunt for some new music to learn. And then I found you. I can not express how much I have fallen in love with your music, I feel like it has brought me back to life, thank you so much 💖💐
I felt like that too when I found Herman's music during one of the lockdowns. It was like finding the light somehow. His pieces have such life and joy. I hope you continue to play your flute again, it is such a beautiful instrument...particularly when playing Hermans music!
This is such a magical piece that I started to truly imagine a ballet choreography to this. Like fairies or three different characters dancing in the woods, getting lost and getting discouraged before magically finding their way out of the forest for some reason. It made me want to draw and design ballet outfits. This piece is simply beautiful.👏
love this piece and all your pieces! I am a flute player. I am 54 years old and have played since I was 12 and your music has given me a new inspiration to practice, so beautiful. thank you
I’ve gotten into the habit of liking the video before I even listen to it.... I haven’t played the flute since I graduated high school (my niece is using it now.) All of these flute pieces make me miss it so much. One day I’ll have enough money to buy a flute again and time to play it :) until then, I shall listen to all of these beautiful pieces over and over again.
Me too. But I picked up my old flute after about 50 years and just started practicing. And its all coming back. You can do the same! I love it so much, that I just magically seem to find time to practice. Now I would love to get an alto flute, I don't think they had those when I was in high school.
I personally know that flutist Rama is one of the best flutists out there, a real talent, I’m very lucky to have known him growing up, anyone who’s met Rama, you are a very lucky person
Dear Herman, you are a fantastic composer. I can see with great pleasure that you favor the flute as the main melodic line, I love this instrument within the orchestral context.
Herman, I really love your melodies and the way your music builds and soars! Too bad I don't play the flute, but if you ever write a trio for piano, cello and violin, I will make sure my trio plays it. This is so lighthearted, it makes me feel so happy to listen to it. I've just discovered your channel, and I'm excited to see what you write next!
I wish we oboists had a composer like you to write for us. Your writing is magical - and is made so perfectly for the flute. Can’t help but admire and be slightly jealous!
I was listening to music on youtube when this song randomly played, I was so taken at bar 160 (~ 4:56) that I stopped what I was doing to see what song this was. Since then, I have been playing this song on my flute every day since March 2020 (about 100 days in a row now). I almost have it memorized. It is one of the best compositions I have ever heard.
I've played this song every day for 4 months, I am now moving onto another song (pan at les bergers), but "Dance of the wood' will always remain one of my favorite songs. By the way, what grade is this song and is there a version with two flutes (instead of alto?)
This is just pure art! I mean seriously!!! The expression, the drama, the storyline is just incredible! I'm actually speechless!!! One of the best ensembles I've ever heard and I mean literally !!!!!! Not even exaggerating !!!!!!!
The love I have for all the music you post and share can not be described with words. Thank you for creating beautiful pieces of music with my favorite instruments
Прекрасно!браво.Великолепная Кода. Кое-что смыслю в музыке,люблю её,и если говорю(пишу)что-либо о ней хорошее-то только искренне. Пусть Творец будет с вами,пусть дарит миру эту музыку и далее.Всех благ Вам и Вашим близким.🙌
I bought three of your songs to learn after only hearing one song, your music just has this sense of magic and wonder that brought me into playing flute in the first place and hearing your music for the first time has brought that feeling back and I am so excited and honored to learn and play these amazing pieces. So thank you for bringing this magic back into my life. ☺️
This piece is absolutely gorgeous! I love the intensity of it all. It truly feels like a journey in a forest and tells a beautiful story. It is my goal to be able to play the flute part one day! Thank you so much for sharing this with world.
Going on 6 years of clarinet playing, and attempting to learn flute! I would so love to play this piece with another clarinetist friend!! I'm currently learning Spring transposed, and I absolutely adore your music!!!!
Thank you! I just spent 3 hours playing along to all of your music with my piccolo, flute and alto! I was wondering if your flute player played on a Muramatsu like me because we were so in tune :D. Come to find out from googling him that in fact he does play a Muramatsu!
Man your melodies are always so beautiful I’ve never really wanted to write for flute before I discovered your pieces, but you’re really changing my mind.
I would love to learn flute I played clarinet back when I was in elementary all the way to high school. I am wanting to save money to buy me a full size key board because piano was my first instrument. I gave up music when life became difficult to deal with. But I would not mind learning the flute.
This piece kinda gives me some Tull vibes from the Songs from the Wood/Heavy Horses/Stormwatch era. It is also extremely addictive and I can’t stop listening to it. Fantastic job!!
❤🔴‼️ Thanks again 4 the wonderful practice sheets I'm downloading playing along with my Acustic Gutiar 🎼🎼🎵🎶🎸🎹🎹🎺 my redesign and rewriting is probably pricey ❤♦️♦️♦️‼️
I just love how the parts of the two flutes are mixed, the piano underneath has something medieval, it's wonderful. I am absolutely in love with this piece! I've been looking for new pieces for a long time, I love yours, thanks!
This instantly reminded me of the anime “The Rising of the Shield Hero.” I feel like it would fit right in!! I really love this piece! It was really a pleasure to listen to!!
@@HermanBeeftinkComposer you are Welcome! I'm learning the piano part for an upcoming performance of this piece. It is really fun to play, a spirited and beautiful piece.
Herman, This is absolutely gorgeous music. I'm wondering if I could use 30 seconds of it as the introduction and end to my educational podcast. I'd give you full credit, of course, and include whatever links you like. Thank you so much for considering it.
I came across your sheet music recently. I sure miss playing my flute. I no longer have it sadly. Long story. I’d like to get a new one and an alto flute now since coming across your music
Hi Herman, this is such lovely, vibrant work! There aren't that many contemporary flute composers' works that I love to play, but this just feels so freeing and authentic. I'm wondering if you'd be able to upload a play-along for this- playing it without a piano doesn't feel the same, and I don't have another flutist who lives with me during this quarantine!
On his website (which isn't linked in this description, but is in other videos of his), he has several audio play along files, including a piano only version of this - www.hermanbeeftink.com/audio-downloads
Is there a recording of the flute/trumpet/piano version? I was looking for it, but I can't find one on RU-vid. My husband and I are always looking for music to play together, and he plays trumpet, I play flute!
And, for whatever it's worth, if there isn't one, I'd love to provide one, and I'm happy to be a guinea pig if you want to write more for unusual instrument combinations, like flute/trumpet (or any trumpet family member....piccolo, Bb, C, Flugelhorn, even Eb trumpet my husband has) or piccolo flute/trumpet, I'm in!
