Harry T. Burleigh was a star student of Dvorákˇ at the National Conservatory in New York. A talented composer and singer, he exposed the Czech composer to American spirituals and was in turn encouraged by Dvorákˇ to perform his native African American folk music. Two generations later, Copland and Bernstein conceived a clean, clear American sound that conveys the wonder and awe of open spaces and endless possibilities.

  • Summer2004 Newsletter
    From the President... Dear Texas Flutists, Summer 2004 The incredible journey we know as flute! The pursuit of musical excellence, artistic in- tegrity and creative practice! With a vision of the future for our students and roots firmly planted in the soil that our own teachers once cultivated, we can find joy in the music that grows daily inside our own souls. With tools of tone, technique, articulation, dynamics and more, we forge through billions and billions of notes in our lifetimes so that we might for a brief moment con- tribute something of value to our world. Paula Robison once said, “It is your responsibility every time you breathe into your instrument to make the world a more beautiful place.” We must decide today that our musical journey will fill the earth with peace and beauty! During my recent journey as a Texas flutist, I have found myself in some of the most fantastic and memorable places: Performing Christmas concerts at the Meyerson with Laurel Beavers and Cheryl Stewart and the many other flute artists in Flutes Unlimited! Watching mas- ter-teachers Terri Sundberg and Claire Johnson share tons of wisdom at Floot Inferno! Sharing ideas at visioning lunches with Marilyn Arey, one of my most favorite people ever! Weekly work- ing alongside the award-winning band director and incredible flutist Melissa Danforth! Zooming through the Fort Worth Zoo with Lisa Johnson and her brilliant & talented 2 children! Hearing the legendary James Galway at Pepsi-Co Recital Hall tell us to shape musical phrases the same way we would sing them! Endless phone conversations and e-mails with Christine, Larry, Jennifer, Terri, Karen and Ellen developing new ideas for TFS and organizing the Galway masterclass & flute festivals! All of which are now memories I will never forget! Just briefly to introduce myself, I came to Texas in the fall of 1997 after having com- pleted studies at the University of Central Florida.

Monday, March 29, 2021 Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) was born into a wealthy French family and studied piano from the age of five. After his parents’ deaths during his late teenage years, he began composing under the influence of his piano teacher Ricardo Viñes. In his twenties, Poulenc suffered from episodes of manic depression, which often affected his ability to compose. He was also coming to terms with his sexuality and pursued relationships with both men and women, something he eventually had to conceal while living in German occupied France during World War II. Poulenc is best known for his vocal and woodwind chamber music, as well as his music written for the stage. His Sonata for Flute and Piano (1957) is a well-loved staple of the flute repertoire. Un Joueur de flûte berce les ruines was not added to the flute repertory until several decades after Poulenc’s death, when Yale University professor Ransom Wilson discovered the manuscript amongst a collection of scores donated to the university’s library in 1997.
