Square Dance and Round [Alf:36-20412106]

This flute trio is fun to play. It is not as difficult as it looks because the fingerings and rhythms lie well for the flute, meaning that if the players are competent, they can take a fast tempo and be successful. The title is a play on words because the contrasting theme is actually a round, and you could square dance to the principal theme. It was first composed and published for trumpet trio, and was successful enough to write it for flutes.
