Bost-Sandberg, L :: when it rains / the river stands still
Lisa Bost-Sandberg presents when it rains / the river stands still for solo alto flute.
From the composer: "This piece was composed to be performed on my Master of Arts degree recital as well as my alto flute lecture-recitals. The title is a two-line poem I wrote to evoke a moment that included a stunning view of the Iowa River in a rainfall. Singing and playing simultaneously is explored in this work as a connection between voice and flute is particularly strong with the alto. The alto flute fits the vocal range more agreeably than the higher-pitched concert flute, and as Theobald Boehm wrote of his invention in The Flute and Flute Playing, ‘Because of the great facility for modulation of the full, sonorous tones of this flute, it is adapted to music in the song style, and for accompanying a soprano voice.’ Circular breathing is required for a short portion of this piece."
Duration: 5’30. For the advanced player.
