Minor Suite
[3 duets for flute and guitar] Complete Score
Rod Anderson (composed in 1994)

Introduction
This is a suite of three very short duets for flute and guitar. The first one, Minor Playtime, was written as a wedding gift for my wifes daughter, Valerie, who was married in our garden at SwallowHill in the summer of 1994. It was also my first non-piano composition following the acquisition of, and addiction to, a synthesizer at the beginning of that year. Instrumentation Flute Guitar (acoustic nylon) Duration Playing time should be approximately 6 minutes in total, as follows: Minor Playtime Hill 60 Skip Take The Whole Cow 1 - 1/2 minutes 1 3 - 1/2 -----------------6 minutes ==========

First performance October 29, 1995 at a concert at SwallowHill in Cobourg, ON, Canada. Flute: George Lee (of Cobourg) Guitar: Jeff McFadden (of Toronto)
