Fantaisie | Flute and Piano | 2005

In France, conservatories have commissioned new works for flute for more than 150 years, and all flutists have benefited from this. These pieces were originally written as test pieces for students at the Paris Conservatory, and they show off a flutist’s ability to shape lyrical phrases and also show off technical prowess. Fantasie was inspired by these French Conservatory pieces. It opens with a slow, lyrical introduction that is followed by alternating fast and slow passages. Fantasie was written for flutist Jennifer Kuk and premiered at her Carnegie Hall Debut recital.

Fairy Lily | Flute and Piano | 2001

An elegant, night-blooming flower, the fairy lily’s white petals are delicately blushed with pink.

In this piece, we follow the blooming lily from nightfall to dawn through the eyes of these magical creatures.
