Edition Svitzer presents 'Stealing Silence' for flute and marimba by composer Michael Burritt. 

'Stealing Silence' was written for the renowned flutist Bonita Boyd, Professor of Flute at the Eastman School of Music. The first movement, 'X Remix,' is a reworking of material that I previously used for a solo piece and wanted to explore it in the chamber setting. It is characterized by animated musical language with frequent syncopation, creating an energetic and bouncy dialogue between the marimba and flute. Movement 2 is an evocative ballad and is greatly influenced by the music of the American composer Alec Wilder, and his beautiful work for marimba and flute. The final movement, 'Flashback,' is a fun romp between the two instruments employing a pseudo- blues scale, creating a sort of swagger in its musical countenance.
