Shadowlands: A Journey
By Phyllis Avidan Louke, ASCAP
PROGRAM NOTES:
Shadowlands: A Journey is a programmatic work in three movements for Flute Choir written in memory of the composers uncle who
died from cancer.
Movement One ("Out of the Darkness"), written in a minor key, contains a plaintive melody conveying sadness which later transforms to hope.
Movement Two ("Into the Shadows") begins with a beautiful bass and alto flute duet written in quartal harmony. The melody is introspective, yet, in conjunction with syncopated chords by 4ths, keeps moving the listener forward toward a climax of resignation.
Movement Three ("Moving Toward the Light"), written in a major key, conveys a feeling of hope and peace, ends with a touching chorale which extensively utilizes chords with
added seconds.
Scored for piccolo, 3 flutes, alto flute, and bass flute, and opt. contrabass flute (doubling bass flute part)
