Sleeping Spirits | Flute Trio or Flute Choir

 

Sleeping Spirits opens with a mysterious, unsettling theme—an exploration into uncertain territory. The contrasting middle section searches for answers and resolution, yearning to be centered and grounded. And in the final section we hear once more the opening theme, but now transformed by acceptance and resolve. The journey is complete, and we're ready for the next challenge.

Flutopia | Flute Quartet or Flute Choir | 1998

 

Flutopia, unlike most pieces, came to me fairly easily one day as I sat at the piano. I wrote it during a time when I was feeling a bit out of place. I was feeling disconnected at a social event, and rather than sticking it out, I retreated to a practice room. Instead of dwelling on the negative feelings, I created a new emotional world and in the process transformed my discomfort through the music. In 3 parts, the beginning and ending reflect a kind of questioning simplicity that contrasts with the waves of changing harmonies—reminiscent of Impressionist paintings—found in the middle section.
