We were caught in a blizzard at the Rochester airport in December 2003. She asked me if I d ever written anything for this particular combination. I decided to write this  surprise  for her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Maelstrom  is defined by Webster as a  strong often violent whirlpool.  I m not sure why I picked this title as it doesn t necessarily reflect the musical content. It may be that I was still remembering the blizzard conditions in Rochester. Musically, the work plays around with an interestingly symmetrical tone row and a small portion of the Fibonacci series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the first performance I was persuaded that it was really the first movement in a larger work. So I added two more movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn The Eye Of The Storm is focused around a short Fibonacci series: 1 2 3 5 and its reverse. Since the combined total of the series adds to eleven I use the meter 11\/8 for large sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhirlwind is pretty self-explanatory. Hopefully, it provides an exhilarating finale. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuration: 10 minutes. For advanced players. Includes score and parts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Composers Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968221565222,"sku":"ACABRRI005","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/A00000ACABRRI005_d.jpg?v=1697506669","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/brooks-r-circular-motions","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
