Radford: Bossamanda - four flutes with rhythm section or piano
The ideal accompaniment would consist of piano or keyboard alone, or with double bass or bass guitar and rhythm guitar added. Drums could be used ad lib (though no drum part is written) alternatively, a rhythmic accompaniment could be provided by claves and cabaza.
“This Bossa Nova for four flutes would be very enjoyable for players of about grade 5 or 6 standard. The lead role is shared well between the parts, and the music is varied and buoyant.” — PAN magazine 2008
