Music for Flutes is a set of three works tied together melodically and in mood, but with unique unfolding of themes.
Reflections begins with a plaintive modal tune that exploits pitch bends and altered - fingering tremolos. Variations of this tune follow and an exuberant episode completes the movement. Major and minor seconds, augmented fourths and sequential patterns of these intervals prevail and the overall effect is improvisatory in quality.
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.
Performance duration (approx): 4'00
