Title: La Magnifique: Flute Music for the Court of Louis XIV

Genre: Pop
This programme portrays the 'birth' of the flute in France in the late 17th century and the following 40 years of it's life as a new and fashionable instrument. A famous patron of the arts, King Louis XIV gathered elite composers and musicians to create the refinement, elegance and good taste that was demanded at his Paris Court. From the early petites pièces to more virtuoso suites and sonatas with their ornamented lyricism and grand dance rhythms, the mellow, robust and almost husky sounds of flutes from this period blend and weave around each other like the voices of two singers.
