On first hearing mind you, and played in this ridiculously florid and overly arranged way, I'm reminded of a ‘what’ and not a ‘who’.

My interpretation of this effort would, I’m sure, make Mr Galway rather cross.

Recognise the piece, but don't associate it with anyone. 

Is James Galway becoming the Richard Clayderman of the flute?  Was this piece originally intended for the trumpet, because there are bits that sound remarkably like "triple-tonguing", which is not a technique I associate with the flute? 

Clever, but not very subtle. :)

Yes J, it's a piece more associated with the trumpet and does have its fair share of both double and triple tonguing - a very difficult technique to perfect.

There are times when I find it very difficult to avoid being coarse, such is the temptation.  :-[ :-[ ;)

My Dad used to sing "He's got a head like a ping pong ball" to William Tells overture. Not sure why maybe a RAF/Rugby thing?

I seem to recall that there was a lot of this technique performed  in the "Emmanuelle"films from my youth.... ::) ;)
