Dedicated to my dear friends and amazing colleagues at the Wm. S. Haynes Flute Company, in celebration of being the European Artist-in-Residence for ten years!

This piece is a short, accessible, cool piece in three parts - beginning calm and serene, then becoming mechanised with hissing and machine-like rhythms, and finally becoming heroic and brave for the finale!

Instrumentation:
1 x Piccolo
5 x Flutes
2 x Alto (or 1 x Alto & 1 x Bass)

Bass Flute Part Download

This piece was originally written for two altos (and the recording below is with two altos) so it can be played easily in ensembles that don’t have bass flutes - but in order to be flexible I provided an optional bass flute part to cover the (lower) alto part. You can download that part for free here.
