Two new pieces in one book, which will be premiered at the NFA on August 2nd. Pre-order now for release on August 1st.
The title Soft Rain attempts to hint at some essence of the piece however it is not a programmatic title. The piano part has liquid quality above which the flute gestures and sings. One might think of summer rain falling on a beautiful stream or river. Alternatively you may wish to experience it entirely as a personal response to the music directly. The music is the most articulate description of itself.
In memory of Averil Williams 1939-2018. Professor of flute at the Guildhall School of Music for 50 years.
Thank you Averil on behalf of so many.
The title White Staircase gives some hint of the feelings and thoughts one might experience through the piece. There is a clear sense of cyclic ascension in the ascending 5's in the piano hence 'staircase'. The flautist in particular is encouraged to explore a variety of colour and texture; white light comprises all the colours of the spectrum.
