Product Description

FLOATING LANDSCAPES, for Solo Flute

Premiere: 13 July 2020 at Kraków Manggha Japanese Museum, Kraków, Poland. Natalia Jarząbek, Flute.
                   
The piece was composed as an étude to practice the technique of circular breathing. It has a single movement divided into five long phrases. The title is a metaphor for the form of the piece and also for the way the sounds are normally produced on the flute, where landscapes are represented by the musical phrases that contain sounds that float in the air in a flow that is produced and controlled by the performer. However floating also has connotations with something that circulates, e.g. an idea, providing an analogy to circular breathing. There are no bar lines in the piece. The rhythmic combinations have a freer, asymmetrical flow as they follow the internal structure of each phrase. The piece explores various nuances of dynamics (from ppp to f) in a slow rubato tempo, with a predominance of softer sounds. The piece aims at increasing the performers awareness of applying circular breathing over large intervals, and at developing the phrase building logic and its application.
