QUEEN OF THE NIGHT

In Der Hölle Rache from The Magic Flute, the Queen of the Night orders her daughter Pamina to kill her enemy, Sarastro, threatening to disown and curse her if she refuses. Karen North’s arrangement captures the fury, brilliance and theatrical intensity of this unforgettable operatic scene.
Set in a higher key than Mozart’s original aria, the arrangement allows the flute’s upper register to create the same dazzling impact as the soaring coloratura soprano. Strong, incisive articulation brings dramatic power to the opening and closing sections as the Queen smoulders with rage, while the high-register passages call for delicate, sparkling tonguing and effortless agility.
This exhilarating showpiece gives the flautist an opportunity to demonstrate energy, lyrical intensity, expressive contrast and bravura command of the upper register. An exciting choice for recitals, competitions or examinations, it is perfect for players looking for a memorable work that combines operatic drama with technical brilliance.
Add this spectacular Mozart showpiece to your repertoire and give your audience a performance they will remember.
