The Dayton Dream
Whitacre, D
Kathy Blocki and Blocki Flute Method presents composer Diane Whitacre's 'The Dayton Dream' for flute quartet. A delightful quartet in five contrasting movements by Diane Whitacre and premiered at the 2015 NFA convention. Commissioned by Kathy Blocki. The quartet is based on a story by Rebekah Lane in which four quartet members spend a day visiting the Smithsonian museums in DC and especially see the Dayton C. Miller collection of historic flutes. The story begins just prior to the dream with 'Girl Talk..' Next the dream begins with 'The Glass Flutes.' These glass flutes turn out to be magical-which if first seen in 'The Butterfly Room.' Next the birds on exhibit come alive with 'Taking Flight.' Finally, the fun truly ramps up as 'The Romping T-Rex.' (complete with EASY beat boxing) takes over to bring the dream to a sudden growling end.
