Ler Merle Noir
00:00 / 07:03

This is a piece written in 1951 as an examination piece for flute  students at the Paris Conservatoire the following year. It creates very different sounds to Telemann and Mozart and isn't exactly easy listening, but uses the flute's full capability to mimic the song of a blackbird.

This is an Irish song that everyone knows.
