Music for Native American Flute

Music for Native American Flute, Volume One

Music for Native American Flute, Volume One is a collection of 40 pieces from all over the world. The music is set in the Nakai system of tablature notation (Nakai TAB), and all of the pieces have fingering charts beneath the tablature. The book also includes notes about each piece as well as fingering charts for both pentatonic and extended scales.
It is not necessary to read music or TAB to play the tunes in this book. The accompanying CD features all of the tunes in the same order in which they appear in the book. Those players who don't read music or tablature can use the CD to learn the rhythms of the pieces.
The music in this volume was thoughtfully — and joyfully — selected specifically for Native American Flute; wandering Kokopelli-style through a world of tunes, the author chose dances, lilts, and ancient songs, some as old as the rock art images of Kokopelli himself. A dance from the Greek islands, a rant from the Scottish highlands, a melody from the mountains of Peru, and an ancient song captured almost 800 years ago by the quill of a Castilian king are a few of the pieces collected.
Each tune has that inexplicable but necessary magic, the quality which draws the flutist to play it again, just one more time...

Thanks for your beautiful music and continuing with Nighteagle Flutes. David is an amazing person. I have a bass in Em #5723 and love it! I really would like to get one in D (Bm), which is my singing key of choice. I was unaware of the wide range of styles one could play. Again Thanks for some beautiful and sometimes haunting melodies. I'm curious as to some of the recording techniques (reverbs & delays?)

@revkevbo22 ,

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, David is a wonderful person, and a beautiful flute player.

The tracks for this CD were recorded dry, and then a small amount of reverb was added. Delay was used in one track only: The Outpost.

warmly,

Jessica

Very good Sheetmusic and wonderful Playing, helps me to learn playing and understanding the Flute . It doesnt matter what kind of Flute someone plays, if he plays good, every Flute has it Advances and some likes this and others that and that's ok... so go on with this fantastic Music.

@stormy622 You can't say that the metal flute has more soul though. There is no way.
