Music for Flutes is a set of three works tied together melodically and in mood, but with unique unfolding of themes.
Leaving is a eulogy for my mother. It has three sections which I think of as departure, resistance and acceptance. It resembles Reflections in its pitch patterns and modal themes.
The pieces that form Music for Flutes may be performed on any member of the flute family at the choice of the performer. Dialogues may be performed on either two C flutes or two alto flutes.
