Genese, M :: Stagger
Coleman Page Music presents 'Stagger' for flute alone by composer Michael Genese.
The composer writes about this piece, ''Stagger' refers to the act of stagger breathing in choir. The flutist begins “Stagger” trying to do everything themselves, embodying the contemporary activist who never gets a break. Shapeshifting and contorting through varied musical figures, they eventually burn themselves out. Through the incorporation of consonants in the middle section, the flutist discovers stagger breathing, leaving space for others to enter the fold. They also get a bit wiser!
'Highlighting the individual’s experience within the collective, 'Stagger' invokes themes of speech, organizing, and cooperation, but also illusion, perception, and even deceit. Blending both musical and social sustenance into one, 'Stagger' is a spell for our sustained futures, and all the humble cooperation to come.'
