Esmail, R :: Zinfandel
Avaaz Music presents 'Zinfandel' for flute alone by composer Reena Esmail.
The composer writes about this piece, 'This piece was written at an inflection point in my life: I had just begun my journey into studying Indian classical music, and this piece was one of the first ones in which I tried to get a sense of this incredible music that ultimately became a major influence on my style. The beginning section just starts to bend towards the idea of a raag, both in its unique, characteristic pitch collection and in its development of melody, just barely hinting at a Hindustani aalap.
'While writing the fast section, I held an image in my mind: a glimmer of light reflecting and refracting off the surface of the dark, rich wine. It reflects in one place, pauses momentarily, then flits asymmetrically to appear in another place. The liquid is silent and still, but the surface is moving very delicately.'
