Album Notes

A Flute Tootin' Yule warmly celebrates the Christmas spirit, drawing on the natural beauty of instruments from the flute family. From poignant to playful, this exceptional collection of vibrant new arrangements from some of Hollywood's most talented composers and orchestrators uniquely captures the excitement and grace of the holiday season.

Resonance Flute Consort, comprised of six professional flutists from the Los Angeles area, is a distinct ensemble, featuring the entire range of flutes from piccolo to bass and including the very rare and sonorous contrabass flute. This combination of first-rate musicians and innovative pieces, crafted specifically for this group, allows Resonance to offer a dynamic listening experience, challenging the traditional role of the flute as a purely symphonic or solo instrument.

Nelidova Records proudly presents this captivating fresh perspective on some of your Christmas favorites.

A Flute Tootin' Yule is a wonderful musical surprise. From the piccolo to the contra-bass flute, this ensemble of consummate artists performs an array of holiday favorites in grand style. Their seventeen inspirational renditions of holiday favorites will certainly bring smiles all around year after year. This CD is full of joy, and highly recommended.

A Flute Tootin' Yule is an excellent example of musical perfection, interpretation, and spiritualism. The idea of creating a flute choir is extraordinary and replicates the traditional voice choruses that are usually related to Christmas celebrations. The choice of repertoire is impeccable, and I would invite anyone who would like to enjoy the holiday celebration to listen to A Flute Tootin' Yule.
