His Eye Is On The Sparrow (unacc) by Dana F. Everson Flute Quartet - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: DX.110408

A flute quartet for four unaccompanied soprano flutes beginning with stacked triadic flourishes in an imitative fashion. The first thematic statement is made by the first flute offset by a duet counterline, given to a trio statement. The theme is now presented by the third and fourth flute in unison responded by the upper lines in a gentle obbligato. The piece now wanders off in fragmented motives leading up to a modulation and a meter of three. Here the parts move in a flowing triadic motion gravitating to a modified tune with stacked chords of support. The theme is now shuffled about amongst the voices giving a sense of motion and variety. This all leads up to further modulation and a more punctuated style. As the pieces winds down to a more relaxed nature, all of a sudden there is a flourish of active excitement passed around the parts, all to a flambouant ending.
