Solo for unaccompanied flute.
Grade 5-6. Approx. duration: six minutes.
Set consists of a performance score.
Composed in 1995, this work was composed as a two-voice polyphony for flute, inspired by the image of the “sinus” (pan pipes) of Argentina’s Altiplano region.
Writing after its premier performance on April 11, 1997, Travis Rivers remarked that he “enjoyed both the musical substance and the technical exuberance in another unaccompanied work, Verdie’s ‘Flute 3.2.4,’ brilliantly played by Bruce Bodden. In this three-movement work, Verdie uses the inspiration of the sounds of the panpipes to spin out tunes based on musical intervals contained in the work’s title. Bodden breezed through the work’s maze of technical problems to find the music beyond.”The work was recently performed by Lauren Redburn, whose masters thesis includes an analysis of this work.
This piece is on the VBODA (Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association) Solo/Ensemble Music List.
