The National Flute Choir

The National Flute Choir’s eighth CD continues The NFC’s ongoing tradition
of beautiful music for the Christmas season initiated by its acclaimed CDs
Christmas Flutes (R-13) and Christmas Flutes ENCORE! (R-21). With the
new addition of a contrabass flute, this recording provides even greater depth
to the listening experience. Some works are original compositions, while others
are arrangements, but all are unique for the flute choir. Selections are: “Sing
