Traverso Colore, Volume 3

Seeking to bridge the educational divide between modern flute and baroque flute performance opportunities, Traverso Colore was founded in early 2005 as an outgrowth of the baroque flute class at Florida State University. They are a baroque flute ensemble that promotes baroque music on period instruments and creates more opportunities for flutists to perform original and arranged works from this historical era. All the arrangements in the Traverso Colore series, created by Karen McLaughlin Large and Tammara K. Phillips, can be played on baroque flutes as well as modern flutes. Volume 3 includes: 'Ombra mai fu' from Xerxes (George Frideric Handel), Three Madrigals (Orlando diLasso), and Ricercare in the Twelfth Mode (Andrea Gabrieli).
