It is particularly influenced by the Arabic sequences of notes called maqam (plural Maqamat) many of which use altered tuning. Derived from the Persian work peshrev, meaning  that which precedes  , the title refers to a piece of music that is often performed as an opening composition as part of a suite. Similarly, this Bashraf can be performed as the first piece in a recital or programmed amongst other works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the early stages of composition, the importance of timbral change and contrast became apparent as an important feature. Opening with three repeated notes, the material contrasts harmonic, normal fingering and multiphonic timbres combined with an increasing intensity of vibrato and tone. Utilizing the flute s potential for a wide variety of tonal colors, the performer is required to alter the sound through techniques including vibrato, alternative fingerings, embouchure changes, key percussion and singing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBashraf contains four sections (Khana, plural Khanat) each of which is followed by a recurring passage (taslum) as in the traditional form. Improvisatory in nature, each Khana has its own tempo and varies in character exploring related maqamat. In performance the flute player is encouraged to explore these features; metronome marks are optional. The returning taslum balances this freedom with consistency of tempo, using only one maqam throughout. Developing in complexity at each recurrence, it is as if the refrain is trying to break free of the repeating cycle, never quite succeeding, until recalling a fragment of the second khana on the last bear of the penultimate bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the advanced player.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tetractys Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46966644310310,"sku":"TTYS715214","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/A00000TTYS715214_d.jpg?v=1697478697"},{"product_id":"graves-b-the-metamorphoses-of-britten","title":"Graves, B :: The Metamorphoses of Britten","description":"\u003cspan class=\"NameInDesc\"\u003eThe Metamorphoses of Britten\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ComposerInDesc\"\u003eGraves, B\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenjamin Graves  The Metamorphoses of Britten, for solo alto flute or solo flute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the composer:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It is a well know fact that Benjamin Britten, after completing his very British studies - firstly as a teenager with Frank Bridge and then as a student at the Royal College of Music with John Ireland - was set to attend postgraduate studies with Alban Berg in Vienna, but was dissuaded by his parents as well as the RCM staff. This brief part of Britten s history inspired the composition of The Metamorphoses of Britten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDestruction of innocence by a higher power is a narrative unavoidable in conjunction with Britten s music and it is starkly considered in his all male opera Billy Budd. The Six Metamorphoses was written as a companion piece to this opera and explores the same theme. It stands to reason then that these two pieces form the cornerstones of my composition. In my piece I drew a parallel between the theme of lost innocence and Britten s thought process when considering studying with Berg. He could have had his romantic innocence destroyed by the higher power of Berg s serialist thinking and so eventually decides against it, or conversely his innocent decision to study with Berg was destroyed by the higher power of his parents and teachers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn movement one I morph the opening of Six Metamorphoses into Salome s motif as it appears when she persuades Narraboth to bring her Jochanaan. This represents decisions being made to succumb to manipulation. Movement two transforms Salome s motif into music from The Rake s Progress, specifically when Anne Trulove bids farewell to Tom Rakewell as he sets off for London with Nick Shadow. Here the transformation begins to take place. This becomes the note B in movement three, the single note that rings across the orchestra when Wozzeck murders Marie in Berg s opera, representing the final product of the transformation. Finally movement four sees the B become the motif played as Billy Budd forgives Captain Vere for condemning him. Here Britten has returned to his original form, all the wiser for the experience.
