ALRY Publications presents 'On the Aether' for flute choir by Jonathan Cohen. 

The composer writes about this piece, 'Wikipedia will tell you that 'aether' in Homeric Greek means 'pure, fresh air' or 'clear sky' and in Greek mythology, it was thought to be the pure essence that the gods breathed, filling the space where they lived, analogous to the air breathed by mortals. 

'This piece expressed two moods, though the first movement flows into the second without break, as is often the case with the whims of air currents. The first movement, An Ill Wind, is malevolent and foreboding. A slow whirlwind rises from the depths, then the piccolo floats with a suspicious delicacy that fails to hide the melancholy and ill intent. Melody moves through the ensemble, interrupted by gusts. Finally, when the low flutes take over, the threat is more immediate and hope descends with the tempo and pitch. Capriciously, another whirlwind begins at that low point and ascends, moving faster and higher until it resolves into the second movement, Zephyr, where warmth and lightness give us refreshment.'
