Froom, D :: Lightscapes
Froom, D
David Froom's Lightscapes, for flute and piano.
Lightscapes is a three-movement piece (slow-fast-slow). Lightscapes was not meant to be a major statement piece, but a nice piece that was solidly put together
I thought instead of writing two fast movements, one serious and one closer that it would be fun to focus all the energy on a central fast movement...I liked the idea of a piece that ends quietly but it evolves as it goes - David Froom, 2010
Each of the movement titles in Lightscapes refers to a different aspect of light. Though radiant means emitting rays of light ; shining and bright , Froom refers to this first movement as being numerous shades of gray. Each new section showcases a different shade, but the movement should be played with lots of restraint and calmness, willing people into a sense of complacency. The more gray movement one is, the greater contrast it has with the second movement, Coruscating.
According to Webster s Dictionary, coruscate means to emit vivid flashes of light; sparkle; gleam. When Froom was looking for a title for the second movement, he ran across a sentence in a dictionary that depicted exactly the feeling that he was looking for: The flutist s sound coruscated around the auditorium. Coruscating is a movement of fire, energy, and complex rhythmic activity that provides a great contrast to the third movement, Lambent, meaning softly bright.
