This
work was set for the 1998 AMEB Flute syllabus. This work is
a modal work in three movements.
-
The
first movement is in the Aeolian Mode and makes wide use
of contrapuntal techniques.
-
The
second movement is in the unusual time signature of 7/4.
The work which is written in the Phrygian Mode, begins with
a haunting introductory section reminiscent of Japanese
flute music, and then continues in tempo.
-
The
final movement, is in the Ionian Mode , known as our familiar
Major scale. This work is written using a swing feel in
triple time, and features improvisatory sections for both
flute and piano.
