Ballet Égyptien (Suite No. 1, Op. 12) for Flute Choir, by Alexandre Luigini, arranged for flute choir by Paige Dashner Long, is the first movement of Luigini's most well-known orchestral work. While working as the conductor of the orchestra of the Grand Theatre in Lyon, France, he was expected to compose music for ballets, operas and orchestral suites, thus leading to the creation of this work.

• Piccolo (and C Flute)
• 4 C Flutes
• Alto Flute
• Bass Flute
• Contrabass Flute (optional)
