Guest Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Hi -- just wondered if anyone knows of a place on the web where there are lists of songs with flute solos in them. I'm interested in learning more songs that actually had flute in them. I'm in a cover band and we do a lot of the Marshall Tucker stuff, Moody Blues, Canned Heat etc. But I'm not good enough to play Jethro Tull. My canned response to "do you play any Tull?" is "If I could play like Ian Anderson, do you think I'd be playing here?" heheheheeee. Anyway, I've found a few lists online, but none of them are anything that I didn't already know about. Seems like there should be a way to do an exhaustive search with all the music databases online. HELP! Thanks ya'll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_jr_ Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I'm not well informed about this topic, but Wings does "Let em' In", and there's some sort of flute in that. It may be a fife, though. Like I said, I'm not educated in this area. By the way, love the name. fluteloops. Welcome to Songfacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Stairway to Heaven does not have any flutes. It's a pipe organ. But I guess you could play it on flute and it would sound good. I was just listening to a rock CD these days with some good flutes, but I can't remmember which one now. I'll post back if I do.

XXX Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Not a flute solo per se, but Johnny Marr's use of the flute in "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" is a memorable timbral piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Don Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 How about "Colour My World" by Chicago? My sister played the flute in school, and she learned to play the flute part at the end of that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 One of the few whole songs I can play on the flute: El Condor Pasa. South-American folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 "California Dreaming" has a flute solo. You can find more flute in Focus LP "Hocus Pocus" (and maybe others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkfan413 Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 i dont know of any websites but you can always try to play them by ear. i've done that lots of times with flute solos in songs. i really like the solo at the beginning of "Walk With You" by Dispatch. you should listen to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Clown Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 not going to name any songs out right butI can think of a few bands/musicians that have flute players... there is abritish musician by the name of Virginia Astley who was a volcalist and flautist she's done solo work and was also in a band, the Ravishing Beauties. Might be worth checking out. There is also the Australian band The Go-betweens who in the mid-to late 80s had a member Amanda Brown who played flute, violin etc. a lot of their stuff from that period features Amanda adding light & shade to the basic guitar pop. There is also quite a bit of flute work, if memory serves, on Marvin Gaye's What's Going On album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 The end of Mediate by INXS features a flute solo, I believe? I remember this pretty well from watching the video on MTV back when it came out, my memory could be mistaken though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Just about every Focus song has a flute in it. Tokyo Rose, Focus II (I think), Focus IV, Carnival Fugue, Hamburger Concerto, Hocus Pocus, House of The King, are all good ones. Don't forget California Dreamin by The Mamas And The Papas. Echano by Chuck Mangione has some flutin in the beginning, and there is a flute in Color My World by Chicago. And of course there is Tim Weisburg. I have only heard that album that he did with Dan Fogelberg. The songs I can remember are The Power of Gold, Lazy Susan, Intimidation, and Lahaina Luna.
