SIDE 1: Fluteman Main Theme. (6:15). A little rain-making introduces this light rhythmic version of the main recurring theme. Lots of room for flute improvisations from Don Burrows. Indeed almost all of the music in this album features Don’s various flutes, and the clarinet. It is, after all, music for Fluteman. The Party. (4:00). A variation for clarinet, marimba and guitar with the orchestra. Fluteman’s Theme. (0:53). A stereo-mix of the soundtrack music. The Lost Children. (3:38). Fluteman’s music has spirited away the town’s children, leaving the little deaf boy, Toby searching for them. A variation for the alto-flute and the guitar. Call The Tune... (6:58). A jazzy variation, with solos for Don’s concert flute. Col Loughnan’s tenor saxophone, and Errol Buddle’s alto saxophone. |
SIDE 2: First, A Little Smile. (7:23). Into the streets the Piper stept. Smiling first a little smile, As if he knew what magic slept In his quiet pipe the while. Toby’s Theme. (4:14). A version for clarinet, bass-clarinet, marimba and guitar. With the drums and bass and some piano sounds. Rain! (1:36). Fluteman’s music brings the rain to a drought-stricken town, and everybody celebrates. This is another stereo-mix of the soundtrack music, which is why you hear the baddies, thoroughly discomfited, scurrying away at the end of the piece. ...And Pay The Piper. (4:15). Some vibraphone variations on Fluteman’s theme. The Children’s March. (4:29). Featuring Don’s fife, or, as he prefers to call it, the school-flute. |
