Description
Up – Contemporary Irish Music for Silver Flute by Philippe Barnes and Tom Phelan
Piano score and flute part
Up started as a tune written over an electronica idea from my long time collaborator Tim Cotterell, a brilliant fiddle player and composer from Brighton. We had a band called Stratus that did a few UK festivals playing Celtic infused electronica. The tune has also been recorded by Japanese wooden flute player Kozo Toyota and his band O’Jizo. A three part reel with a solo section in the middle. The flute solo is written out but feel free to play your own instead. The piano part is exactly what Tom plays on the YouTube video and is available as an mp3 download from my website. — Philippe Barnes
