Amy Marcy Beach (1867 - 1944) was a pioneering woman composer at a time when women were barely considered by music publishers. She has been acclaimed to be the first important American woman composer. As a child Amy was allowed rather than encouraged to further her obvious musical talent. She wrote in a mature and virtuosic style for piano with use of chromaticism, fine melodic lines, and Impressionistic styles.
It is those elements of Impressionism, using musical styles of Ravel and Debussy, that make "From Grandmother's Garden" so interesting to the performer and audience. That set includes this short piece describing or at least alluding to garden plants you might find in a Victorian garden: Rosemary and Rue.
Lots of chromatic lines, but it is always interesting and gratifying to play. This piece, along with two others from the set "From Grandmother's Garden" was transcribed for flute and piano by John Gibson of JB Linear Music. This flute solo sheet music comes with the piano score and the solo flute part.
Reviewed in Flute Talk magazine April, 2011: Rosemary and Rue, Op. 97, #4 by Amy Marcy Beach, transcribed by John Gibson for flute and piano, is the fourth movement from "Grandmother's Garden," a work originally for solo piano. Marked "Andante con sentimento," it is in Romantic style with lush harmonies, excursions away from tonality, a wide range, great dynamic contrasts, and forceful sections alternated with tender passages. This well-edited arrangement works well for the two instruments and allows both many expressive opportunities. -Diane Boyd Schultz
