Anderson, K :: Quicksilver
Anderson, K
Quicksilver takes its title from the old name for the element Mercury, a word with many connotations. It conjures up images of everything from the flowing, iridescent metal to the Roman god of the same name, traditionally depicted wearing a winged helmet and sandals. This piece, with its fast tempo and light, dancing scalic passages creates a mood of excitement and exhilaration.
The piece is set in rondo form exploring different textures and timbres within the flute choir as the different flutes come to the fore. It is designed to be audience friendly whilst presenting an achievable musical and technical challenge to all the players.
Instrumentation: Piccolo, 2 flutes, C flute or alto flute, 2 alto flutes, bass flute or contrabass flute.
