Falls House Press, known for its excellent line of flute music, has signed Theodore Presser Company as its exclusive distributor worldwide. All of Falls House Press' fine publications are now available through Presser at music stores everywhere and online here at presser.com.
"Flute Music That Preserves Our Past and Promotes Our Future" is the mission of Falls House Press. Their catalog of published works bears witness to this fact, full of "forgotten gems" and a line of new works by talented composer/musicians.
For example:
Jonathan COHEN
Piccolos in the Pub Flute Choir
Cohen takes a turn with decidedly Celtic-flavored original tunes for flute choir, highlighting a pair of piccolos. Three distinct movements in fast-slow-fast formation would find welcome on any program for better flute choirs. The set includes plenty of parts, even a rare subcontrabass in G.

Gary SCHOCKER Walking Songs for Solo Piccolo
Five brief descriptive miniatures for the solo piccolist, walking or not. Movement titles give a clue to the feel of each piece: Eek!, Turning Dark, Mushrooms, Reflective, and Jaunty. Schocker's signature song-like compositional style blends well with his own mastery of the instrument to create real music for advanced students and performers.
Falls House Press P-GS29 • $9.95
Gene Pritsker Pan(ic) for Solo Flute
Pan plays his flute in the forest, but the performer also imparts the abject fear of unsuspecting passers-by who come across this creature (thus, "Pan[ic]"). Advanced performers will enjoy the duality of this sonic portrait.

Wion's 9-volume series covers the more popular operas in detail - those most likely to be encountered in audition and performance - and includes over 120 operas in all. Wion's credentials are impeccable, his experience in opera unquestionable, and he has devoted a lifetime to leading fellow flutists through the joys of the repertoire. (See a page.) (Read more...)
In addition to the OPERA EXCERPTS FOR FLUTE series, a companion volume
SING!
was also issued, with the aim of improving the flute's singing voice. 18 arias are arranged for flute and piano, with Wion's capable guidance throughout. With discussion of phrasing, dynamics, and vocalising, Wion seeks to elevate the spirit of the instrument, not merely the technical skills required to play. Read more... (pop-up PDF)
