This arrangement by Rebecca Faith is not what is usually expected when labelled with the familiar title 'Silent Night'. This piece of music is more of a variation of themes, the familiar melodies remaining recognisable but treated as small pockets of atmospheric motifs rather than one long lyrical melody. The style and harmonies have a more experimental magical feel whilst remaining easy on the ear, and are created to capture the attention and imagination of the listener. As with all of Rebecca's Christmas Carol arrangements this work is fresh and exciting for the more advanced flutist, but it is also important to note that these highly unique and beautiful arrangements are not flute solos with piano accompaniment but material for a duo where the piano part is just as much a solo part as the flute. The collection of 10 challenging yet thoroughly enjoyable Christmas Carols was written for the flute and piano duo 'Tranquillo', who recorded them as their debut album 'Tranquillo Christmas' in 2010. The CD has attracted some excellent reviews as well as interviews from the Musicians Union Magazine, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Gloucestershire. Highly recommended and well received by audiences - there is nothing else available like them.
