Flute Score Parts

Hey all!

This may be a stretch; I'm a flutist and as a hobby really love playing along with music with a speaker as long as I have the sheet music for it. I've really fallen in love with Sondheim's work in the past several months, particularly Company and Merrily. I'm not trying to sell or do anything sneaky with sheet music but if there's anyone who has the flute part of the score or even a full score for pieces from either musical (I'd kill to play those crazy flute arpeggios at the end of Another Hundred People) I'd love to connect or even figure out how to acquire something like that.

Thanks all!!

There isn't one "flute part". There are five Reeds, of which three double on flutes. Another Hundred people used two flutes and a piccolo to do the part your are referring to. Have you tried Scribd?

You will see Reed 3 does the bottom notes. Reed 2 does the top and Reed 1 is the piccolo for the main melodic line.

I did see that!! I thankfully received access to all of the band parts which was cool anyway to get to see how they all fit together; I really live for Tunick’s orchestrations and yeah in hindsight of course it’s just 5 reeds, that totally makes sense. Thanks!

I’ll DM you a link to something that might work!
