Intermediate & Advanced Instrumental Solos

within the still moment -upper intermediate Flute solo

within the still moment is a beautiful and accessible contemporary work for flute and piano composed in a flirtatious and enthusiastic manner! Featured are emotional tonality shifts, fluctuating time signatures, and expressive melodic material. The accompaniment is challenging and a "character in the story" in its own right. A very impressive festival or concert work. The overall tonality is Eb+ with harmonic and tonal shifts.

as the light shimmers -advanced Flute solo

Winner of the 2005 Pacific International Composition Competition, New Zealand. Soaring melodic lines juxtapose against jagged contrapuntal dialogues between the flute and piano. Contemporary, yet lush and beautiful.
