Locklair, D :: Forest Pipings
Locklair, D
Dan Locklair s Forest Pipings, A Diptych for Flute Ensemble, is scored for a flute ensemble of seven C flutes (one doubling piccolo), one alto flute, and an optional bass flute.
Though the piece may be performed in normal concert fashion, Forest Pipings is conceived of as a spatial composition. The spatial effect is best achieved by spreading the players out in the concert hall so that the flutists surround the audience as much as possible.
In two movements; the first, entitled Night calm, is marked tranquil. A feeling of serenity is evoked as a brief and gentle melody emerges from the sustained texture of the piece. Over the course of the movement this melodic line is passed around to all instruments of the ensemble. Near the end of the movement, the melodic material of the second movement, Sun Break, is previewed. Marked quick and dancelike, the energetic melodic material of this movement immediately begins to unfold.
