A beloved star in the international jazz world, Ali Ryerson has developed a large and enthusiastic following, particularly among alto and bass flutists in the traditionally classical flute community. FOLKTALE is an original work equally inspired by both worlds. Along with all the elegant counterpoint of baroque flute duets, FOLKTALE’s language is grounded in jazz harmony and rhythm, fully notated for the classically-trained performer. Performance suggestions are provided with hints on style and phrasing. When no bass flute is available, FOLKTALE may be played on C Flute and Alto.
