Product details
Once upon a time there were two brothers . . . is a retelling of the folk tale most often referred to as 'The Singing Bone'. This is what Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm called it in their collection, but other versions exist in Scandinavia, the British Isles and North America in which the brothers are sisters and the flute is a harp. In composing this piece, I have drawn freely on a number of sources to make my own version of the story.

Dedicated to Sally Walker
First performance by Sally Walker at Andrew Ford: "Once upon a time there were two brothers..." (Collins St Baptist Church) on 21 Oct 2013
Includes program note and performance notes.
Although it is permissible to present this piece as duo, the playing and speaking roles divided, the composer intended it for performance by a flute player who also speaks the text. Either way, the speaking should always be intimate in tone, as though telling the story to a child, and unless the piece is being performed in a small room, flute and voice must both be amplified.
Typeset edition.
