Digital Sheet Music [PDF]: ScoreRatoos : for flutes in 3 parts [eScore] / Christopher Sainsbury.by Christopher Sainsbury (2015)
|
Product details
Ratoos, a musician friend from Papua New Guinea taught me how to make bamboo flutes. To me his name actually sounds like the sound of the bamboo flutes we made-it's musical. He played flutes and percussion in a New Guinean indigenous funk band that featured at World Expo 1988 in Brisbane. So whilst lyrical at times, this piece is also a bit funky. It's meant to be for community level players.
