Composed by Adrian Dee. This edition: pdf, streaming. 21st Century, Chamber, Classical, Contemporary. Individual part. 10 pages. Adrian Dee #880461. Published by Adrian Dee (A0.1289764).
I was thinking about all the ways in which we could not breathe in 2020 - George Floyd's last words, the COVID-19 pandemic putting us all on masks and respirators, the wildfires filling our homes with smoke, the racism that has silenced so many for so long. I thought it would be interesting to write a piece with all that in mind for flute, an instrument which is, of course, all about breathing. It is an exciting and challenging piece, suggested for advanced and professional players.
The piece is one movement with four sections: George Floyd, Protests, Respirators, and Wildfires. This set contains 10 pages, including cover pages and score. It runs approximately 9 to 10 minutes, at the performer’s discretion. It requires some improvisation, a few special effects (multiphonics, use of voice, jet whistle), some serious breath control, and a lot of energy. The performer is asked to breathe in specific ways, to make the audience aware of the breathing, and to become uncomfortably short of breath. There is also optional use of electronic Loop for layering voices in the final section.
This piece was premiered by Anthony Trionfo at the National Flute Association convention, Aug. 4, 2023. Check out the Youtube link for an exciting performance. A trio version is also now available.
This is an intensely emotional piece and unlike my other compositions. I'd love to hear your feedback: [email protected].
