Daniel Concertino
Concertino for Flute and Orchestra (or Piano) Composed for Jasmine Choi’s premiere on the 2018 NFA concerto gala, Dorff’s CONCERTINO is a 10-minute showpiece full of flash and theatricality, elegantly balanced with beauty and lyricism. The work is fully suitable for flute and piano recitals, while the orchestral version is easy to program, Daniel even when rehearsal time is limited. More Flute & Piano Music DORFF by Daniel Dorff
For Elise for Flute and Piano Concertino Commissioned by flutist Cindy Anne Broz in celebration of her granddaughter Elise, Dorff’s FOR ELISE is a portrait of a delightful 3-year-old, as well as a recital piece in the slow-fast model of the French conservatory for Flute and Orchestra (or Piano) repertoire. The main body of the work is an exuberant 6/8 rondo, in which playful yet challenging episodes lead into a recurring jazz waltz. Snow Angel for Flute and Piano Solo Part with Piano This gentle 5-minute memorial was commissioned by flutist Ray-Michael Kauffman in remembrance of his mother, who was very much a snow-loving angel. Its tender dialog is preceded by three rings on a triangle played by the flutist, and it concludes with three poignant triangle strokes played by the pianist (or heard from offstage).
Sonata (Spirit of the Hudson) for Bass Flute and Piano Peter Sheridan’s commission for a bass flute sonata led Dorff’s imagination straight to the Hudson River. Inspired by the instrument’s broadly streaming richness, the composer’s thoughts were drawn to the mighty Hudson, unaware that Sheridan had grown up right there on an island just off Manhattan. Dorff was guided by the river’s deep primal nature, and by life within the river and on its shores long before humans arrived. A slow Mvt. 1 “Sprawling, burbling” flows attacca into the rapid Mvt. 2“Sparkling, glistening.” This is followed by another slow-fast pair: Mvt. 3 “Under Winter” which gently leads directly into Mvt. 4 “Spring Spirits.” Either pair of movements may be performed on its own as a shorter concert segment.
9 Walks Down 7th Avenue for Flute and Piano Like a series of walks down a city block at different times of day, 9 WALKS DOWN 7TH AVENUE opens with a kaleidoscopic rush of compact, distinct theme ideas, followed by variations comprising the nine cosmopolitan-sounding walks. Dorff’s urban-inspired work was commissioned for Julie McGough’s debut at Carnegie Recital Hall.
