Play the famous theme tune to "New York, New York" which was famously attributed to Frank Sinatra however was initially performed by Liza Minnelli (Judy Garland's daughter) in the film. Queen also covered this for the film Highlander (worth a listen!). "New York, New York" has also been covered by Michael Bolton, Hans Zimmer, David Hasselhoff, Reel Big Fish among many others.
I found this particularly challenging to work out the notes for, however I think it's pretty close! It's great fun to play on flute anyway - hope it works out for you :)
Did you know?! Low notes are marked with a dot (eg: .C) and higher notes with a caret (eg: ^C)
