This sextet (2 violins, 2 violas and 2 cellos) is based on my setting of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis which is, in turn, based on my oratorio in which I set a chapter of Winnie the Pooh. The are tunes and light and playful.
The oratorio itself (The Poohratorio, composed in 1977) has not yet been published here due to copyright on the works of A A Milne, but the melodies are entirely mine. You may be able to guess some of the characters whose leitmotifs in the oratorio are used in this setting.
The Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis (Canticula Ursae Minoris) for men's voices is also available on musicaneo.

The melodies in this work are based on my unpublished 1979 setting of "The expotition to the North Pole" from A A Milne's book "Now we are six" in the Winnie the Pooh series (under the title "The Poohratorio"). Clearly the Poohratorio itself cannot yet be published due to copyright on the text, but the melodies that it inspired have led to various pieces including a Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis (Canticula Ursae Minoris) and various sextets (Songs of a little Bear) including this flute sextet/flute choir.
As suggested in the score, the ideal positioning would be to have all flutes in choir 1 on one side of the stage and all flutes in choir 2 on the other side (ie antiphonally).
The pdf file contains score and parts and also includes an optional piccolo part to take the place of flute 1.
