Onorato Costa: Souvenir d'Orient ou Fantaisie Brillante for flute and guitar, op. 12. With elements of Greek music, early 19th century, such as Romance grecque, Ilios Lambros, Soleil Lumineux, Sirtos, Danse grecque nationale.

New re-engraved edition (not facsimile), with an extensive preface. Score with separate flute part, 20 + 8 pages. First published by Tecla in 1983.
This is a remarkable and attractive work, challenging from the technical point of view. Anyone seeking new repertory for this combination of instruments is recommended to try this.
It incorporates elements of Greek popular music of the time. One section is "Romance grecque. Ilios Lambros, Soleil Lumineux", and another is "Sirtos, Danse grecque nationale". An interesting example of the enthusiasm for Greece at this period of the struggle for Greek independence.
See the beginning of the Sirtos, in score, as a pdf.
