Das Beresina Song
SONG AND VARIATIONS FOR SOLO FLUTE
According to tradition, Thomas Legler from Glarus, then a lieutenant grenadier in French service, sang this song at dawn on November 28, 1812, in the company of his comrades shortly before the outbreak of the Battle of the Beresina. Later this song became a folk song under the name "Beresinalied".
As one of the most beautiful Swiss songs, I have come up with variations on it.
Saverio Mercadante
Fantasia per Flauto solo
This fantasia is composed for solo flute, but can be played as a duet with a second flute or violin.
International Videoproject
Well-known German flute professor Ulrich M-Doppler, the last direct descendant of the famous composers-flutists Doppler brothers, called Magalf and asked him to create a piece on Ukrainian themes. Magalif wrote ”Ukrainian Medley (Potpourri)” based on four Ukrainian songs. The project involved a joint remote video recording of this piece by flutists from different countries with piano accompaniment.
