Transcriptions

  • Take up the Flute
    by Chris Morgan
    Repertoire Book 1, Chester Music
  • Very easy to play, even the piano accompaniment. With a music cassette there Galway is playing this stuff.
You might know that from CD or record. Transcribed by James Galway, nice music, partly not so easy to play.
  • In the Pink,
    Belwin
Another Galway-Record in Sheetmusic, Music from movies by Mancini for flute and piano. Including hits like the theme of Thornbirds or Pink Panther (Piccolo). My favorite: Pie in the Face Polka. Good exercise for high notes.
  • Showpieces
    Novello
Just another Galway product. Nice and not too difficult to play: Haru no umi. Includes also the hungarian Doppler-Fantasy.
  • The Magic Flute of James Galway
    Novello
  • Japanese Melodies
To counterbalance all of that Galway here some edition by Rampal.
  • Da Capo! Encore! Zugabe!
    Schott, ED 7909
Starting with Bach touching Mozart and ending with Joplin. Edited by Peter-Lukas Graf, original works and transcriptions (e.g.: Türkischer Marsch ).
