Turning the Page — Welcome to the New Era of Lombardo Music! 🎶
After over 30 years of sharing my music through conventions, phone orders, and mailed catalogs, I'm proud (and a little amazed) to announce that Lombardo Music Publications has upgraded their online presence!

🎶 Exciting news coming soon! 🎶
After years of taking orders by phone and at conventions, we're thrilled to announce that a brand-new Lombardo Music website is on the way! You’ll soon be able to browse the full catalog, order online, and even access digital download options—all while knowing your order is still being fulfilled directly by us, just like always.

Phone orders will still be accepted, but this new site will make it easier for everyone—and hopefully help more of the flute world discover and enjoy Ricky’s music. Stay tuned!

Here is a recording of my composition "The Mysterious Mansion" recorded by Carolina Álvarez Villalobos from the flute choir Flutissimo in Germany. It is just in time for Halloween. Carolina is terrific and playing all of the parts. Enjoy!

Carolina Álvarez Villalobos made another wonderful recording of my "Simple Gifts" arrangement. I am certainly grateful that she is sharing her talent and bringing out the best in my music. This title has been published for several years now and continues to be one of my most popular publications. "Simple Gifts" is written in the expandable form, which means it can be performed using the top four parts if the alto and bass are not available. As the other instruments are added the additional parts introduce a new line, adds to the harmony or strengthens another part. Here is a link to the YouTube recording of this lovely rendition.

Carolina Álvarez Villalobos recorded another one of my arrangements and did a fantastic job as usual. Here is her recording of Una Fiesta de Canciones Folklóricas. Since this is an expandable arrangement it works successfully as a quartet using the top four parts if the alto and bass are not available for any reason.

Carolina Álvarez Villalobos did another great recording of my arrangement "Sakura, Sakura". This is also an expandable work that can be performed using the top four parts if the other flutes are not available.https://youtu.be/X11bJgptQUs?si=FpiDoNJNd95DYB5l
