I mean when you play a low voice instrument I feel like you’ll wanna try some of the high voices. Well at least that’s what I did because I play tuba and I tried clarinet but didn’t like it so I got a flute and I’ve grown to love it. But yeah flute tuba is also a weird Combo.
Just beautiful! Herman Beeftink is a wonderful compositor and I just love play his pieces. Moreover, who isn't charmed by the incredible sound of Rama Kumaran! Thanks for this musical moment.
Белка прыгает с ветки на ветку,озабоченная,собирает запасы на зиму, хвостик развевается пушистый,она молодая,энергичная.И музыка молодая, энергичная.Дети должны слушать современную классику,по возможности! спасибо.
As a composer myself, I find your works deeply impressive. The style has a youthful simplicity and charm to it while being at the same time very mature and subtle. Nothing is to excess; everything exists with just enough complexity and flourish to be enough. Truly inspirational!
Wow. Saw images of the two squirrels in my back yard, chasing each other through the grass, up the trees and stealing the bird seed. Great piece, great composer and flutist.
Awesome! You can see cute little beasts raging. I really appreciate. And such a brilliant work for flautists to shine. Could imagine it as a race for two players.....
May I know how long it takes to compose these pieces, what gives you inspiration to make these pieces, and do all the sounds just appear in your head as a whole? Or do you think about everything as an individual part first while making it? Sorry it's fascinating to know how you come up with these amazing pieces
Elemental Vortex I start with improvising, playing with ideas on the piano, getting often inspired by visuals, like the beauty of nature. Then the days after that I keep coming back to it, working on form and fine tuning melody, still all just on the piano. Only after I’m completely happy with the composition then I will change instrumentation, for instance in this case give the melody to the flute and the chords to the strings.
@@HermanBeeftinkComposer Sir we both share the same inspiration of magnificence of nature, and may be that's why love all your pieces. Thank you. Love from India :) I'm a novice beginner with no fornal training and it's probably my unrealistic dream to compose a piece inspired from nature. :)
@@HermanBeeftinkComposer thank you for this explanation of how you fill a blank sheet music in a masterpiece. Do you think it is essential to study harmony and counterpoint to create music the way you do? Or is it a process of creativity? It would be nice to have a conversation on musical creativity with you...thank you so much for the beauty you convey to me and othes.
This has to be the best composition yet from one of my favourite composers, his music just gets better and better, flute music shopping spree on the way!!
This is beautiful, thank you 😊 *adds to playlist of flute stuff that I will never be good enough to play* There we go, another unrealistic expectation for a flautist training for her grade 5 No hate, I am making this playlist so I can look back when I have got a grade 8, be it in 5 years or 10, or even 20, thank you for composing these beautiful pieces 😊
Just wondering: The flute does not play the right rhythm in bar 79 and 81, right? Or is the sheet music incorrect? I am only asking, because I fell in love with this piece today, bought the sheet music and playing it to this recording I stumbled across both bars. Thank you!!
I appreciate your question, thank you. Most of my pieces are story telling, so programmatic style would fit that. Yes the titles are purposely descriptive, setting the direction of the imaginary story.
@@HermanBeeftinkComposer thank you so much. Your style interests me very much. Your motives and harmony are not very complex but they are repeated many times and every time they attract our attention. I see this style in all your beautiful works. I would like to know more about your style can you suggest something we can read that you wrote that may explain your beautiful style. Thank you very much.
@@francobonanni3499 I have some program notes that I’m planning to add to my website soon but not really anything about the use of melodic and harmonic structures. I will keep it in mind though, thank you for the suggestion.
@@007Commentator Im aware of no real work around other then actually fingering the notes (high g-a, horrendous) or overblowing the lower g and playing a harmonic trill (best result such as it is). Unless you have a c# trill key all other trills for that high G-A have their own inherent problems that are often worse then the original, harder fingering than the original, awful intonation issues, etc. And your suggestion (which I have seen in many fingering charts) doesnt work, at least for me, as it makes at best an out of tune G-Bb tremolo.
Love your music. I'm a composer and arranger and I currently use Noteflight and I am looking for other music software. What program do you use to compose and to do the Audio + Score?
I’ve been playing the flute for a few years now and i can’t wait to try some of your pieces. But what is the note for the solo flute at 1:56 - I’ve never come across it before...
can't you just see them squirrels climbing up and down those trees. Why haven't (at least) some professional symphony orchestra musicians heard of this guy (Herman)
How long have you been composing? It seems after 3 years for me, creativity has left me. :( maybe it will come back when I start to learn more advanced music theory in college.
Shawn's Modern Classical Music Yes, studying theory will help you in developing your ideas, gives you more options. Keep at it! I started writing in my early teens.
Herman, hello. Please help me. I wanted to buy on your website play along: rising ocean, squirrels, storm, arabican fantasiya, summer for flute and piccolo. They are in my shopping cart. It is impossible to pay from Russia. Mayde you have acquaitances or friends who have bank cards for payment from Russia?

This has got to be one of my favorite composers of all time.
Agreed
mine too! 😃
@@lannnnah ww
S
Same here!!
I seriously have not heard a single piece of his that I did not like! I’m going to have to go on a flute sheet music shopping spree!!
Being both a flutist as well as a cellist (I know strange combo) I appreciate this soooooo much :)
I'm flutist and cellist too^^
i'm a flutist and violist 🥺

@@stealdonusts9193 i agree! except mine was more so the other way round - i started with flute and clarinet, and then swapped clarinet for bassoon.
omg i love your music so much! always so full of character, i hope one day i can write this well :)
Just beautiful! Herman Beeftink is a wonderful compositor and I just love play his pieces. Moreover, who isn't charmed by the incredible sound of Rama Kumaran! Thanks for this musical moment.
I totally envisioned a squirrel hopping tree to tree... What a beautifully written piece!

you are without a doubt my favorite composer of music.
Wow. Love the Dorian flavour.
Лёгкость,воздушность, упругость звука.Как. трудно сыграть, чтобы передать настроение!
Brilliant Brilliant!! I love this piece! Still a fan and even more with this chart. Not sure why I am just now hearing it. I need this
This is one of my favorite pieces of yours. So light and playful.
The best composer for flutes.
squirrels are amazing creatures! rapid and playful-- and this piece can really give us that! awesome as always!! :)
Awesome! You can see cute little beasts raging. I really appreciate. And such a brilliant work for flautists to shine. Could imagine it as a race for two players.....
I only cam dream of being this good
Wonderful! I really love the energy in this piece, so easy to visualise a pair of squirrels darting around in the trees.
I am so glad to have found these videos by Herman. They are just beautiful.
Once again, another exception piece!!!

I enyoy every note . It's wonderful. Thank you
Wow, I fell in love with this piece. It fits its title perfectly. You have my greatest respect for being able to compose something like this.
I can't get enough of your music! And Rama Kumaran is unbelievable on the flute.
Thank you and yes he is amazing!
This piece should be in a movie soundtrack! :D Wonderful
This has to be the best composition yet from one of my favourite composers, his music just gets better and better, flute music shopping spree on the way!!
What pleasant music! 🎶
I’ve been getting these in my recommendations, and without a doubt, I haven’t been disappointed yet with your songs, each has its charm.
Tell me your secrets! You're a genius and listen to your music non-stop.
Kinda reminds me of "Wall Rat" from Ratatouille and I'm loving it! Epic!
It's so playful and mischievous! Just what I needed!
i love every one of his pieces, and i’m playing storm right now. favorite composer ever!
Beautiful!
Just one thing......thank you for the music.
Yet another amazing piece keeping up the good work!!
Waw, c'est absolument extra ! 👏👏👏
Lovely piece and beautiful playing!
I discovered you exist today. You're filling a hole in my soul. Everything you touch is magic. You are a gift. ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
Wow! Absolutely outstanding work and performance! Love this playful style. 🎵💜
The music is amazing! You compose it on the right ways. But what makes the music is the musician.
Such Skill!
j g Thank you! Yes, agreed, the flutist Rama Kumaran is amazing! I feel very lucky having him record my music!
This was a joy to listen to. Thanks for making my morning!
Omg this was so beautiful, ist was perfect 🤩🤩🤩🤯
Wow, beautiful like always!
Completely amazing and outstanding as usual. I'm so glad you're making these orchestral pieces, I'm tired of the music we have nowadays...
Brilliant piece of music
Bravo! It's very beautiful!
You are my favorite composer! Thank you for making this flutist very happy when you upload! :D
you are incredibly talented!!! bravo!
I'm primarily a concert percussionist, but this is exactly why I've decided to start learning the flute
I know right! I got a flute just so I could play his songs
Simply wonderful!! You inspire me a lot to compose
This is amazing! A perfect way to bring myself and my friends in orchestra together! They’re going to love this!!! Thank you so much
So beautiful! Thank you! :)
I just love all of your music! I have already purchased several pieces for flute and piano.
This remind me of the Remì of Ratatollie while is coocking
Yes! I was thinking the same thing!
THAT IS SO MUCH FUNE TO LISTEN TO!!!!!
That was amazing!!! I loved it
Love this.
Wonderful compositor👍
Beautiful!!!
In each piece I ear. You become a reference to me.
My god you are just a fantastic composer, you make me love the flute more . Such a fun piece and modern
Dej Green Thank you!
amazing as always
This is beautiful, thank you 😊

@Hedera ✨✨✨✨✨✨please don't force religion onto people✨✨✨✨✨✨
This piece reminds me of my two little nieces...my two squirrels..
Can't wait to learn this!!
I wish I had the ability to play this! I’m in awe of your music x
Nell Martin Thank you!
You're amazing !
Bravo!!
All your compositions are absolutely gorgeous! I'd love if you could put these on Spotify!!
I love this song but it’s definitely challenging
RUclips reccommended this to me.And for once I am not dissapointed.This is some great stuff!
I love when music sounds like what it's describing!! Ozark mountain daredevils is a group that does it!! This would be good when I clean!!!!
This sounds like a Film score for a Disney movie! 😁
Charming!

It's sounds like Tchaikovsky 🥰 Beautiful
WOW!!!!!!
May I ask you a question how can you discribe your music descriptive or new age...help me understand thank you Herman.

lindo! lindo! lindo! a alma sorri, a mente voa...
:O more amazing music! Yaaas
I get ratatouille vibes from this, but I hear it's more in the trees than on the ground
I absolutely love this. Has anyone ever mentioned how much this piece resembles Zelda music?
I love all of your pieces! Would you be able to compose a piece for an Oboe as well?
"Spring" is available for oboe now on his homepage :)
UGH! that high G-A!! almost impossible without a c# trill key! lol
I just overblow D-E. Not the greatest but it's the best I can do.
How do you play that? I have it all figured out but that part!!
@@kaes4922 1) use regular fingerings 2) use harmonics (overblow G/A) 3) use a c# trill key
Play g and use both trill keys (right hand) plus g sharp key (left hand) at the same time.
@@007Commentator Im aware of no real work around other then actually fingering the notes (high g-a, horrendous) or overblowing the lower g and playing a harmonic trill (best result such as it is).

I might have to transpose this piece so I can play it on my saxophone
Remains me of the movie, Ratatouille. Beautiful. Nice playing and very virtuosic flute player. Who are the performers?
:o still beautiful
Not sure if good name for the piece, or good piece for the name.
Love your music. I'm a composer and arranger and I currently use Noteflight and I am looking for other music software. What program do you use to compose and to do the Audio + Score?
broniboi101 Thank you! I’m not familiar with Noteflight. I’m using Sibelius together with Protools.
Nice
I’ve been playing the flute for a few years now and i can’t wait to try some of your pieces. But what is the note for the solo flute at 1:56 - I’ve never come across it before...
So I want to play this for my solo, but I’m not playing it with any other instrument, is there sheet music for just the flute part?
It includes accompaniment. You could perhaps use the Playalong track in stead of other players, it could still be considered a solo.
0:48 😭😭😍😍
