Timothy Hagen presents Break for flute choir (piccolo, 4 flutes, alto flute, bass flute.

From the composer:

'Lately, I have been reading a great deal of poetry. Mary Oliver, one of our nation's most beloved poetic voices, died two months before my mother, and I had been exploring her work. When I read her poem 'Lead,' about dying loons at dusk, I felt both touched and inspired. The poem begins with the text, 'Here is a story to break your heart. Are you willing?' Since my heart was already broken, I was.

The piece that unfolded, Break, is meant to evoke the sounds of dusk: an insect chorus and loons calling to each other. A mother loon teaches her baby how to call, how to soar. However, mother will not always be there, and the day comes when her child will call to her and she will not answer.'
