Flutterbies
Watch on YouTube:
A softly flowing piece in celebration of the loveliness of butterflies.
Think of the amazing natural spectacle of a beautiful coloured butterfly in flight. The music increases in complexity during the second half. Make the music fly!
Make it as beautiful as you are able and emphasise the dynamics of the flowing melody.

Fresh ideas in flute music
Yes, but did you know?
Butterflies can’t fly if they’re cold !
Butterflies actually need to maintain a surprisingly high body temperature if they want to fly around.
Its body temperature needs to be around a staggering 30°C (86°C). If it is too cold, the butterfly will be rendered completely immobile.
Butterflies taste with their feet!
Butterflies have senses of taste, smell and touch and their taste receptors are actually located on their feet....
A female butterfly will use its sensors to determine whether its caterpillars will be able to eat the leaves they have landed on.
For this reason the taste sense in some species of butterfly is only switched on in females.

Butterflies don’t actually eat anything!
That’s right, butterflies don’t eat anything and don’t possess the mouth organs to do so. They can only drink, using a long protruding tube called a proboscis.
Butterflies mostly drink nectar as you would imagine, but they also drink from muddy puddles, rotten fruit and even dead animal carcasses!
Euuurghh!!
