Description

For Gareth Morris (1951) 22 minutes "Mr. Jacob, are you also a flute player? It appears to me that this piece was crafted by a composer with a profound understanding of the instrument." Gordon Jacob possessed exceptional expertise in orchestral instruments and their tonal qualities, a fact most clearly demonstrated in his series of concertos for wind instruments. Many of these works, which are particularly well-suited for young musicians, can be found with piano accompaniment as arranged by the composer, while the orchestral parts are available for rental.
