Title: The commissioned flute choir pieces presented by university/college flute choirs and NFA sponsored flute choirs at National Flute Association annual conventions with a brief history of the flute choir and its repertoire
Abstract: The National Flute Association (NFA) sponsors a range
of non-performance and performance competitions for performers of
all ages. Non-performance competitions are: a Flute Choir
Composition Competition, Graduate Research, and Newly Published
Music. Performance competitions are: Young Artist Competition, High
School Soloist Competition, Convention Performers Competition,
Flute Choirs Competitions, Professional, Collegiate, High School,
and Jazz Flute Big Band, and a Masterclass Competition. These
competitions provide opportunities for flutists ranging from
amateurs to professionals. University/college flute choirs perform
original manuscripts, arrangements and transcriptions, as well as
the commissioned pieces, frequently at conventions, thus expanding
substantially the repertoire for flute choir. The purpose of my
work is to document commissioned repertoire for flute choir, music
for five or more flutes, presented by university/college flute
choirs and NFA sponsored flute choirs at NFA annual conventions.
Composer, title, premiere and publication information, conductor,
performer and instrumentation will be included in an annotated
bibliography format. A brief history of the flute choir and its
repertoire, as well as a history of NFA sponsored flute choir
(1973–2012) will be included in this document.
