Oliva, M :: A Memory of Spring
Oliva, M
Michael Oliva presents A Memory of Spring, for alto flute and electronics. Drifting melodies soar and whirl over and through the thick electronics, with echoes of oriental harmonies and playing.
The piece consists of an alto flute part and an electronic accompaniment. This should be played through a high quality stereo PA, with speakers positioned behind the player on either side of the stage. Depending on the venue acoustics, subtle use of EQ may be necessary to ensure that the electronic part is reproduced clearly. Care should also be taken to ensure the PA has a good bass response, since the electronics contain some extremely low frequency sounds, which should be reproduced at good volume without distortion.
It is important that the flautist can hear the electronic part clearly, especially for synchronisation, but use of extra monitor speakers should be avoided if possible as they can muddy the stereo image of the sound. It is also advisable to amplify the flute a little and, if possible, apply some reverb to assist with the blending of parts.
Duration: 5 . For the late intermediate player.
