Four pieces for flute & piano

programme note

1  The gardener of Eden
One fine day in Eden,
The gardener took a stroll.
Paradise looked pretty nice,
On the whole.

2  Adam and Eve and Pinch-me
Adam and Eve and Pinch-me
Went down to the sea to bathe.
Adam and Eve were drowned;
Who do you think was saved?

3  Paradise Stomp
Some people believe
That Adam and Eve
Started the rot.
And if they did, so what?

4  Forbidden flute
 In real life (as in Paradise)
When naughty things look nice
That old forbidden flute'll
Often tootle.

Suitable for players of Grades 6 and over
