Melodic Interchange Between Flute and Cello

Creator: 
Orion Chamber Orchestra
Description: 

Serenades are typically calm, light music. In this clip,the solo flute begins a simple sweet phrase, with the solo cello answering back, and functions as a secondary melody. A gentle pizzicato accompaniment pulsing through, the conversation between the solo cello and flute continues until 8 measures later, the cello takes over, as the primary melody, filled with such tenderness and delight, melting into the night.
