flautist

Desplat was, as he puts it, “a rather good flautist—like Henry Mancini was, actually.”

He was a good flautist, and composed several operas for Schikaneder's company, which he joined as a vocalist in 1784.

It pleased the young men musically-inclined and bohemian by profession to patronise the flautist, whom they declared marvellous.

James Paisible, flautist and composer, who set this charming song to music, was born about 1656.

Jim rocked through the crowd, in his tall hat, looking for the flautist.

He might have been a flautist, and he played with a catching lilt, a luxurious abandon that was an incarnation of Nature.
