Louis Moyse…

It is with sadness that I learned today of the passing of Louis Moyse, one of the last living exponents of the French School of flute playing. A simple banner on the National Flute Association website proclaimed the news. The spirit of his playing is carried on by those who knew and studied with him, and whose lives he touched. A most remarkable man, musician and teacher!(The following sound files – lyrical, expressive excerpts from his father’s ‘Tone development Through Interpretation’ – were recorded recently in Regina, Saskatchewan.)
