Tassie, B :: Clutch
Tassie, B
Benjamin Tassie s clutch, for alto flute and electronics.
Clutch is an energetic, irreverent piece for solo alto flute. The work is study-like, exploring the instrument s range, playing styles, and some extended techniques (pitch bends and quarter tones). Baroque ornaments (trills, mordants) are set against a background of electro-pop electronics, with an energy that builds, disintegrates (in a middle section in which the metre shifts) and builds again. The title, Clutch, is a reference to the expression clutching my pearls , meaning a moment in time that forces one to clasp their hand to their chest, out of fear or shock, as if trying to protect an imaginary pearl necklace .
For intermediate to advanced players. Approximately 4 minutes.
