“Party time!”
Chris Hankin Just Flutes staff member - [email protected]
These birds are having a party! They use Latin rhythms to give a feel-good factor and fly around all over the place. A lyrical Andante sees them take a rest and the ending is literally off-beat as they seem to collapse exhausted. Best played with an easy technique, including nifty fingers and neat articulation, and a real sense of humour, this would make a fantastic encore.
