Program

Valerie Coleman, Danza de la Mariposa (2008) This rhythmic, melodic tone poem gives the listener a tour of South America. Inspired by the various species of butterflies inhabiting the continent, Danza de la Mariposa is full of rich color, with butterflies dancing and weaving in syncopated rhythms while alternating between the feel of 3 over 4 throughout.

Carlos Simon, Move It (2020) for alto flute From the Composer’s Note: The pandemic of COVID-19 has continued to influence my social, professional and personal life in ways that I never imagined…. This piece is meant to represent my desire to get out and MOVE. My intent is to make this piece an imaginary syncopated joy ride. I wanted to explore the percussive and rhythmic nature of flute; something that moves with energy and forward motion.

Allison Loggins-Hull, Homeland (2018) From the Composer’s Note: With so many people throughout the world dealing with tragic domestic issues, I began to think about the meaning of home during a crisis. What does home mean when the land has been destroyed? What does it mean when there has been a political disaster, or a human disaster? How does a person feel patriotic when they feel unwelcomed at the same time? Homeland is a musical interpretation and exploration of those questions.

Joshua Mallard, Perennial (2019) From the Composer’s Note: Perennial is a work that seeks to repurpose cyclical material by obfuscating and stretching the proportional relationship between each melodic phrase. In some ways, it is also a commentary on my experiences while learning flute. The familiar underpinnings of many older solo flute works has been slightly altered by the use of microtones.
