Selected Duets for Flute, Page 55 Number 11, Giga, performed by David Summer. This Giga is a fairly simple duet by George Frideric Handel. Handel composed a series of flute sonatas that are used often in performance. I use them often when performing in churches. My favorites are the g minor, the G major and the F major. One of the things that makes these flute sonatas particularly good for performance is that the keyboard parts are not unusually difficult, but they are interesting. They were written to really be an equal partner with the solo instrument, the flute. The metronome setting for this performance is dotted quarter note = 84.
