A winner in the Flute Quintets section of the Newly Published Music competition at the 2019 NFA, this imaginative little piece deserves its accolade. The mix of a traditional fanfare and blues harmonies really does pack an aural punch in a very short space of time. From a practical point of view the parts are relatively straightforward at the fanfare speed, so it is the independence between them that creates the overall effect. The end result is a piece full of character - you''ll love it!
This fanfare for flute ensemble begins by sounding a little 'Tudor', but then morphs, with the use of cross rhythms and blues harmonies into a lively rhythmic piece with a few surprises.
Performance duration (approx): 1'40''
