Bach for example, always has an answer for anything with regards to classical music  .

(I've never thought of Bach as an inventor - but more so, the best representation of his era).
YouTube - J. S. Bach - Partita (sonata) For Solo Flute in A Minor BWV 1013 - IV Bourrée angalise
His 'Musical Offering' (BWV1079) has some wondrous flute passages as well (although I'm not able to pinpoint at this moment).[/youtube] |
Yes, the Bach Partita for flute sounds very similar to a lot of the music he wrote. It kind of wanders along, like someone strolling by a stream...without strong feeling other than a pleasant gaiety. My dad would like this very much! I probably would prefer flute pieces more from the romantic period, is my guess.

Anyways, with regards to this thread, here's a more modern composition, which does in fact, feature a guitar & flute (if the original poster ever gets around to listening ) -
'Toward the Sea' by Toru Takemitsu.
YouTube - Toward the Sea 1.night
It's composed of three movements - and this is the first.

Excellent find! I've had trouble finding flute-guitar duets online. This first movement of the Toru Takemitsu piece definitely sounds modern and a little eerie. Not so melodious. My guess is it isn't your favorite? I still prefer Gaubert - Music for Flute and Piano, because it makes me want to cry! Maybe I'll go put it in the "songs that make you cry thread."
