Herman Beeftink "Storm" SHEET MUSIC (Flute and Piano)

[@pandalover1234567896]

I love how you write parts for Flutes that aren't always up in the higher range, but also in lowest, it's not common that the Flute gets to play lower notes, usually we get the super high notes

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

I appreciate that! Thank you!

[@qixiang]

It’s not common right. But different composer has it style. Why you need to comment about that? All the notes are the notes that can be played. I believe that he used the low notes to have a disparate feeling.

[@kennethmaese4622]

tzjbsss they comment because it’s their opinion and they have every right to it just as you have every right for your opinion

[@mab_jr]

@@qixiang When do you feel you have the right to tell someone what they can comment about. It is true. That is a good thing to tell. Flutists don't have a lot of low notes in their repertoire.

[@Music_MikeZ]

I love songs with low notes! It adds that low texture to the melody and we don't always play fast high notes; sometimes they can be low and fast.

[@elliotrascon3454]

You are officially my favorite composer..

Elena Rascon That’s so nice, thank you!

[@Kebabrulle4869]

That flautist... Their lungs must be ENORMOUS! They take a breath in measure 105, and just keep that note at the end for what feels like HOURS! Incredible musicians playing an amazing score. This is going straight in my playlist of instrumental music.

[@amberherrod6163]

I know this is a late reply but she probably does Circular Breathing. It's an advanced technique for wind players where you breath in through your nose and store spare air in your cheeks. When you run out of breath you use the air in your cheeks and breath in from the nose making you able to achieve very very long passages and notes without a pause for breath! I'm trying to learn it myself but I've broke my hand so flute playing is on hold at the moment 😅

[@noahedwards4340]

Amber Herrod the person playing is a man. Loving your enforcement of gender stereotypes Edit: sorry to hear about your hand though. I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t play my flute

[@amberherrod6163]

@@noahedwards4340 I'm sorry, I thought Rama was a womens name, my bad! Not playing my flute has been a killer! I'm also a really crafty person and I cant do that either, my dr has said I can start doing scales/arpeggios for 5-10mins now

[@MsBettyRubble]

@@amberherrod6163 hi, just wondering how your hand is healing. Hope you're well on your way to playing flute again.

[@amberherrod6163]

@@MsBettyRubble Hi! Unfortunately I will need more surgery once my bone is 100% healed to take out my plates/screws because they’re making my finger unable to bend at the base knuckle and then my tendon is stuck to scar tissue too so they’re need to free that. I’m definitely recovering though and I’ll be playing again in no time and training towards my diploma piece! The downside is that it can take a lot of months for my type of break to heal but I’m only 21 so it should heal a bit faster because I’m so young. Gives me time to get my flute fixed up too, it’s in dire need of a service! I’m planning to do that as soon as I get back to college after Christmas break (I’m a second year woodwind repair student so I can do it myself now :D )

[@minarineplays4169]

i dont even know how i have never heard of this before. but i will make sure to learn this song with my friend and we will learn this song to heart. i will play the piano and she will play the flute. amazing music

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

That would be great if you play my music, that's the best compliment thank you!!

[@davidurban528]

So will I, it will be great fun!

[@LS-fj7pm]

i’m playing this at my next recital cannot wait! The emotion that this piece brings in incredible i’ve never felt so attacked to a piece thank you for creating such amazing music

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

Thanks so much and thank you for performing it!

[@angelicachavez7002]

I bought the sheet music and i'll be performing this for my solo and ensemble competition in February 2020. Beyond excited for this.

I’ve never been so stressed out but so intrigued by a piece before.... I want to try it

[@terrianajones5864]

Your writing has made me fall in love with playing my flute...for this I thank you...as I was always fustrated with writers either making their pieces slow and boring or just very technical weird I like how you can make fun to play pieces with out it sounding weird

[@minarineplays4169]

absolutely incredible. you are truly amazing. i wish more people knew about you. you are an amazing composer. i will make sure to tell all my flutist friends about you as well as other musicians i know. you are remarkable. i hope you keep making amazing stuff like this

[@anthonykosters2663]

Honestly, all of his songs are fun to listen to but also great as background for studying or so, absolutely perfect.

[@LeahChilders]

Rama Kumaran is such an incredible performer, I am blown away every time.

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

Yes I agree, he’s fantastic!

[@annemwesterhof]

Never have I found a composer whose pieces so embody what their titles claim they represent. Shivers from this piece, meditative peace from Frequency that can be listened on repeat for hours, hope from Spring, space and freedom from the Wanderer and Rising Oceans almost always makes me cry towards the end (thank you for those few measures of rest where I can compose myself before I have to finish the piccolo part!) and I'm sure I'm missing out on a few other favourites. Amazing, beautiful, thank you.

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

Thank you so much for your kind comment, and I'm happy you like how the titles connect with the music.

[@caseypeves2360]

Your music never fails to breathless. You my friend are an absolute genius

[@riddhimanchakraborty4340]

The flute part sounds so elegant. One of the most beautiful and yet so simple pieces I have ever heard.

[@mostafa12890]

This is amazing. There is no other way to describe it. You’re definitely one of my favorite composers!

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

Mostafa Hassan Thank you so much!

[@potetew4510]

There is a whole new depth of knowledge that I have gained of this piece after taking on the flute solo. I can not only hear but I can feel the opposing force ( the storm ) in my heart as I play. Absolutely magnificent, outstanding job!

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

That's so wonderful to let me know! Much appreciated, thank you so much!

[@sydneygauthier5606]

I'm just wondering, could you slow it down about 10 to 15 Bpm? I want to perform it but I've only been playing flute 4 years and can't play it as fast as the original. Thanks!

[@melissadavis1081]

So moved and inspired by this one! Brava, this flutist is SO expressive and passionate! And the composer is a master at his craft, every time I listen to one of his compositions the music engulfs my soul and transports me to another realm. Thank you both for bringing us this masterfully played music!

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! And yes, agreed, flutist Rama Kumaran is fantastic!

[@chanpied-piper6391]

I discovered your music a few months ago after my grade 8 exam, I've just bought Storm and am learning it for a competition in July - I'm 100% loving it. Such a fantastic piece of music. Thank you so much for this !!! 🙂🤗

[@drewtrent192]

Even though I've only been playing for a year, I'm going to attempt the flute part 😁 I wont stop until I learn it though I may not be able to go past measure 83 😊 I can also ask my sister to learn the piano part. Wonderful piece btw ☺

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

That's great Drew! Yes, the end part gets kinda nuts, Rama (the flute player that recorded it) told me that too. Glad you like the piece!

[@drewtrent192]

@@HermanBeeftinkComposer There's a change of plans XD I'm learning the piano part because my sister didnt want to play it. She's now doing the flute part.

[@sharpmuzic121]

Just marvelous! The feeling and emotion expressed in the song is beyond anything I've ever heard. The fast tempo, the triplets, the octave jumps, sound so effortless! Your music is truly a gift to the ears! Thank you! (I especially love the drastic change in tempo and style between meas. 82-83)

[@jackseanmon274]

All the music I have played so far has either been TOO easy or TOO hard, and I have always been more advanced in my class since I have been playing harder music (3rd year, 8th grade) but this song is challenging but I am going to practice it, and I will achieve it. This song is perfect because yet it is challenging, but not unachievable. This is the type of song I was looking for, thanks! Also, twilight is probably my favorite slow song I have ever heard.

[@quinnriutta]

I Just Recently Found your work, I have to say I find it refreshing compared to a lot of the contemporary composers who's works if find generally quite awful with the excessive use of dissonance and melodies that aren't pretty, where as with your work you have actual melodies that sound pretty and not like a bunch of random notes being played.

Out of curiosity is the flute part supposed to be mostly slurred or articulated? It sounds slurred in the piece but isnt written that way. Is it just up to interpretation?

[@HermanBeeftinkComposer]

Martha P Yes definitely all slurred, like the recording. I did write “Legato” but you’re right for safety it’s good to add the slurs. I will add at some point. Thank you!
