MUSIC FOR UNACCOMPANIED FLUTE

Music for Unaccompanied Flute

THEMES:

Program Notes:

In my mind, I envisioned dunes that continuously shift in shape under the influence of the wind's direction. Sometimes, these changes occur rapidly, while at other times, amidst a serene breeze, the dunes remain motionless. Dunes is dedicated to flutist Abigail Dolan.
