Murali
Bliss, M

Marilyn Bliss presents Murali for solo flute.

Murali is the name of Krishna's flute. In Hindu cosmology and tales, such as those set forth in Robert Calasso's book Ka, Krishna plays his flute at the first full moon of autumn. It is a very alluring, seductive melody, and it calls to the female cowherds (the gopis), who are all in love with Krishna. At the sound of Kirshna's flute, they come out of their dwelling and dance, surround Krishna. The dancing becomes more and more fevered, when suddenly Krishna disappears before their eyes. Soon they once more hear the murali, from a location just beyond the horizon. Is he calling them, or taunting them? The gopis can never decide, but Krishna is always in their hearts.

Murali is in a single movement. For intermediate to advanced players.
