Jakob van Eyck (ca. 1590-1657)
When Daphne from fair Phoebus did fly
arr. by Ricarda Schumann and Marlo Strauß
for flute or mandolin and guitar

level of difficulty: medium to high

"Doen Daphne d'over schoone Maeght" is one of Jakob van Eyck's most popular flute compositions. This is due to the beauty of the melody and the highly developed variation techniques. A guitar accompaniment to the solo work was written in the style of this time, which as a harmonious and rhythmic supplement supports the musical effect of the solo instrument.
