Chaminade Flute Concertino
Posted on 13th April 2024 at 09:53
Cécile Chaminade was a prolific composer, publishing more than 400 pieces in her lifetime, as well as being a successful international touring solo pianist.
Perhaps her most well known piece is her “Flute Concertino in D Major” Op. 107, which is listed in the Model Music Curriculum, however her vast repertoire is well worth exploring. She composed piano pieces (solo and duo), Piano Trios, songs, a ballet, an opera and concerto style works.
In her many recital tours, Chaminade would feature programmes entirely made up of her own music.
On the 80th anniversary of her death, we explore her life and most famous piece. Our activity this month explores composition within limitations.
