Thread Name: flute part for 'Yellow Bird'
Subject: RE: flute part for 'Yellow Bird'
You hit the nail on the head, Grishka. The flute part of the Luboff arrangement is what I remember with fondness. I have loved the sound of the flute for as long as I can remember.

I have downloaded the melody from Wikifonia lead sheets, and I thought I could listen to the flute part and put it in, too, but it's beyond me. For one thing, it's so faint at times. At other times, I can't tell if the melody notes and the flute part start together or if there's a small rest. It's amazing how much difference a small rest makes once you hit Alt T B.

Thanks, Crowhugger. I'll listen to the Whittaker version. Guest, I think I've already seen the arr. at scores.com, but I'll check again.

Gollee! Every time we turn around, we hear about the greed of the music industry. Why can't somebody exhibit a little profit motive and offer to sell me that song with the flute part written in?
