Carnival Pieces (Flute Choir)

Carnival Pieces (Flute Choir) by Dana H. Joras, Published by Alry Publications.

These pieces focus on the flute choir’s ability to emulate the sound of the calliope, a steam organ often found in carnival settings or on old riverboats. The composition consists of five character movements, each invoking the spirit of a quirky carnival. Carnival Pieces was the winner of the 2013 NFA Flute Choir Composition Competition.
