Today I present my original composition, CINDY FAIR.  I completed this song in 2014 and scored it for bass flute and guitar.  Below is a screenshot of the title page from the autograph score:

For this render, I present the bass flute as a stand-in for the tenor voice, accompanied by alternately tuned guitar to achieve open E flat major.  I have never written anything for bass flute before and am very pleased to have become familiar with this much neglected beauty of an instrument!  I shall incorporate it into my orchestra, for it would provide much needed support for the pipe instruments.

Regarding the structure of this little song, instead of using C minor I use G minor as relative to the home key of E flat major.  I thought this might sound interesting since G minor, like C minor, shares notes in common with E flat.  This unusual approach is apparent in the opening guitar progression as it meets the flute’s entry.
