Hagen, T :: Leaves
Publisher: Owl Glass Music
Owl Glass Music presents 'Leaves: Eight Ruminations on Whitman' by composer Timothy Hagen. This piece is scored for three flutes with all parts doubling on piccolo and third part doubling alto flute. All parts include spoken narration.
From the composer:
'I wanted to write a serious piece of chamber music for flute trio, and instrumentation that is sorely neglected in this arena, while honoring Walt Whitman. I turned to Whitman's seminal poem, 'Song of Myself,' and wove together his words with original music. The listener might hear echoes of composers ranging from Ligeti and Carter to Beethoven. I have also used quotes from the American composer Stephen Foster, whose 'Gentle Annie' was one of the biggest US hits of 1856, year the Whitman began work on 'Song of Myself,' and Henry Purcell, whose famous ground bass used in 'Dido's Lament' can be heard in the final movement.
For advanced players. Score only. Separate parts not available.
