Herman Beeftink - "Blue" for Solo Flute (BEATBOX FLUTE)(sheet music)

[@piccolo_patty]

This was super fun!! Not my style as a flutist but I LOVE hearing people play like this. The extended techniques on a flute are so good when utilized correctly and I think this piece does an amazing job!

[@kelseykarnoscak9556]

this piece is absolutely INSANE. Both the composition and playing is brilliant!

[@potapotapotapotapotapota]

here we go, another beatbox flute piece to add to the list to practice for 10 years and still not be able to play haha

[@fasanov123]

Rama was really next level on this one. Congrats on such a great recording and performance of this! And of course what an awesome composition

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

Thank you, yes, Rama Kumaran is absolutely magnificent. Feeling very lucky that he continues to perform my music. His flute skills seem to be limitless.

[@ramakrishnankumaran847]

Hey thanks Vincent!

[@Piggycente]

​@@ramakrishnankumaran847How long have you been playing for?! When you really started taking the flute seriously, what were the things you did?

[@ramakrishnankumaran847]

​@@PiggycenteI've been playing about 18 years now -- funny to think how long it's been

[@The_Lilac_Flute]

You have been my favorite composer for a while now and this? THIS is just icing on the cake. I love your music and Rama 💜

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

Thank you so much, I appreciate that. Rama’s performances always knock it out of the park, feel very lucky.

[@Shinigumi]

This is amazing! I've heard people do this on a flute before but never seen actual sheet music for it. So cool!

[@JaredTVW]

Incredibly written composition as always and Rama really showed off a side of him I never expected! Wow, you both are so very talented!

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

Thanks so much for your kind comment. Yes, Rama is so incredibly versatile, plan to keep writing for him in many more different styles. So fun.

[@ezra433]

This was an interesting one but it's fun! I don't see this style of playing very often, much less sheet music for it. It's kind of funky in the best way possible

[@skit_inventor]

No way you guys just did that 😲 Edit: your music and Rama's playing are forever my inspirations, among other great composers/flutists like Ian Clarke. The extended techniques on this specific one were exceptional! Hopefully one day I'll be able to play your most beautiful pieces (which are a lot of them 😅)

[@hiredsword2590]

The skill is phenomenal 😍 Embouchure to die for!!

[@mauricioo.g]

So cool!!!

[@cloudymin6560]

I LOVE the fact that it sounds like there is a walking bass line further into the piece!! This is so awesome!!!!! Now i HAVE to learn how to beatbox

[@12MXC]

Nice. I always enjoy hearing your music as a composer. I've learned a lot just by hearing and watching your scores.

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

I appreciate that, thank you so much!

I love this. Are you secretly trying to ascertain the limits of your recorder's skills. I think he won this one! 😀

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

Thank you, haha yes it’s true, seems like there’s nothing Rama cannot play. A true master of his instrument.

[@noemieleseigreffe]

Incroyable ! J'adore

[@theflyingfrappe4270]

This was so fun!! Can I make a request? I play the flute, and my sister plays the violin!!! Is it possible to make a fun pretty flute violin duet? I love your work and would love to see it!

[@lilyellataylor5481]

My mum and me have been playing your piece spring for a couple months, so every now and then we look at your other compositions. all I have to say about this is you are incredibly talented and I find it so cool that I could eventually be this good. Love your songs this is amazing.

My son plays on the gitaur with your flute,it suits.

[@Mitoka_]

I wonder how to play some of technuques. What does it mean "B" under the note for example. What exactly I should to do as a flutist.

[@Mitoka_]

I think I can google something like "beatboxing flute how to" and I will find the answrs.

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

There is a complete notation chart attached to the sheet music of Blue on my website. B simulates a kick drum played as an exhaled B.

Кто нибудь объясните мне, как играть это украшение, название которого я даже не знаю 😭 впервый раз встречается в 4 такте, палочка направленная вверх над ля 2 октавы. Помогите люди добрые, хотя бы как это называется😢😭

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

It’s an upward bend towards the note.

[@PiccoloPhoenix]

This is incredible! I think I personally lack the jazzy soul for this piece - I struggle with Jazzy pieces but enjoy listening to others perform them. Compliments to both composer and performer - this completely blew my mind! I really enjoyed listening to this. I have a question. Have you written any pieces for flute for in a symphonic band setting?

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

Thank you so much, I appreciate your comment. Yes, various pieces for wind and flute/strings ensemble. Here’s a link: hermanbeeftink.com/collections/flute-and-ensemble

Please tell me how to find the melody that sounds in the series "The Stories of Lady Chatterley" in the 1st episode of the 1st season, approximately at 16:40, when Sasha comes in for a massage?

[@achimmuller5075]

Try to find it in one of the "Romantic Collection" albums Vol 1-5. If you have no success, it is not official released. Also try to contact Herman direct via his webpage, I´m sure he answers you and help you. Many years ago I asked him for a composition and he very generous sent it to me as mp3 via e-mail (the title of it was "Indigo").

[@achimmuller5075]

I just remember there exist also a further official released composition: "Dream Scapes" (composed by Herman Beeftink) wich is part of Steve Reid´s album "Dream Scapes". Perhaps you mean this track ?
