Pomp and Circumstance March for Flute Quartet (or Choir), Op 39 No 1

Elgar's original blockbuster is expertly adapted for flutes by Matt Johnston to capture the spirit of the original and construct a piece that is simple to put together. It's colourful too, with the flute singing the tune, the alto covering the harmony, the bass anchoring everything together and the piccolo breaking up the texture. Four good players will be able to perform this at short notice and if you have a larger mixed ability group it's possible to double up the flute, and add more flutes to both the piccolo and bass parts to include as many players as possible. Perfect for regal and non-regal occasions everywhere!;
