Repertoire for high school flutists that come before "The French Composers Book"
Question: Can you suggest some flute repertoire that would fit between the 36 Repertoire Pieces by Donald Peck (Faure's Berceuse, Godard's Allegretto etc.) and The French Composer's Book by Schirmer? There seems to be a bit of a gap there where some new titles would be helpful to me as a teacher.
Answer:In the Canadian flute exam system, the pieces you are looking for would be grade 7-9, in order to prepare the student to go from Godard's Idylle (grade 8) to Faure's Fantasie (grade 10).
There are plenty of good works both accompanied and unaccompanied that prepare the student for the French Composer's book. Some suggested repertoire at this preperation level would be:

To comment:
I think that often in the U.S. solo and ensemble classes there are a lack of choice in their graded repertoire lists, and often the younger flutists are put onto the French Composers book far too soon.
It's great when teachers research pedagogical lists of repertoire and prepare their students well for entering the upper levels of flute playing with attractive and shorter repertoire that introduces advanced flute techniques in a more approachable manner.
The National Flute Association Pedagogical Committee did a great job with their small handbook of repertoire, with the grade-levels well worked out.
Their handbook is only $5 from the NFA-online website.
From the NFA repertoire booklet's Level "F to H" you'll find that they include many of the above titles from the Canadian flute exam system as well as:
Bantok Pagan Poem
McCaskill/Gilliam Petite Suite
Nielsen The Fog is Lifting
Ridout Concertino
Rogers Soliloquy
Roussel Aria
Faure Piece
Feld Petite Caprice
Kohler Berceuse
Arnold Sonatina (selected mvmts.)
Aubert Madrigal
Bennett Summer Music
Bozza Aria
Corigliano Voyage
Del Tredici Acrostic Song from Final Alice
La Montaine Come Into My Garden
Rodrigo Aria Antigua
Vaughn Williams Suite de Ballet
Boehm Elegy
Boulanger D'un Matin de Printemps
Camus Chanson et Badinerie
Dello Joio Suite; The Developing Flutist
Erb Music for Mother Bear
