Classical Music – Flute: “Dance of the Blessed Spirits” – Christoph Gluck
5 Minutes That Will Make You Love the Flute
It’s an instrument based on the most fundamental sign of life: breath. Listen to the best music ever written for it.
The flute is one of humanity’s oldest ways of producing a beautiful sound, and it is based on the most fundamental sign of life: breath. Made from bones, wood or reeds, the earliest specimens date from the Paleolithic era. The flute is often associated with things elegiac, poetic, angelic — with purity — but also with the world of magic; in mythology, Orpheus seduces the underworld playing the flute. In this excerpt from Gluck’s Orpheus opera, the flute is extremely sensual, and, with its lyrical soaring, takes us from earthly pleasures to heavenly ones.
