The exercise is designed to increase creativity and the ability to make positive changes. To me, this meditation is fun, like being in a dream where I can make some choices. The starting point for the Concerto came from three different  rooms  I encountered, and each is translated into sound. The piece is divided into two continuous movements. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening of the piece reflects the first room visited; The first door opens into a room that at first appears to be a study, but instead of a back wall, is a jungle that goes on for miles. In the Concerto, this is heard as growing, twisting melodic lines, some of it beautiful, and some a bit dark and unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second movement is urgent and excited. It combines two very different rooms: one door leads to a dark, hot cave, coated in a red light and feeling very ominous and heavy. The other door opens into the blue sky with a cool breeze, welcoming and expansive. As the movement progresses, the soaring and flying of the open sky begin to emerge: the melodic gestures in the flute become longer and longer, until one final extended passage brings the piece to its climax and to the flute s cadenza.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor advanced players.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALRY Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46966606889254,"sku":"9790302113904","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/xctmp89M4Lr.png?v=1697478133","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/bassingthwaighte-s-house-of-doors","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
