Thomas, DB :: Zippy
Tetractys Publishing presents composer David Bennett Thomas' 'Zippy' for flute and piano.
'Zippy was commissioned by The National Flute Association, for their 2024 High School Soloist Competition at their annual convention. I was thrilled to receive the commission, knowing that I was going to hear many great players interpret the piece. The fact that they were all doing it in competition with each other was a first for me. I suppose the go-to for a commission like this is to pull out all of the stops and use all of the flute’s bells and whistles to show off the player’s chops - so who was I to argue with that tradition?! In my piece, I wanted to write a Presto movement to show off the agility of the player, and to also use some of my favourite colours and moods of the instrument. Zippy is a synonym for Presto, of course. But it’s also the name of a stuffed animal I had as a child - a chimpanzee named Zippy who never left my side.' - DBT 2024
