Program Notes
Written for Vox Novus Fifteen Minutes of Fame, this brief competition-winning flute solo Flavours of Color was composed quickly (almost in a few minutes)! Influenced at first by a brief silvery and blue vision, the music grew rapidly when I felt the energy of the flutist for whom the music was composed. This one-minute flute solo begins slowly and builds excitingly to bursts of fast & exciting energetic color throughout. It ends slowly, much like the opening.
Dedicated to Latvian flutist Alisa Anna Alksne, my most exciting writing is inspired by themes that include specific people, a concept, images and places past and present.
Another (earlier) one-minute composition that I wrote - In a Minute! for violin (doubling bongos) and cello - was selected for inclusion in a 60x60 program of sixty 60-second pieces for a broadcast-event by Vox Novus director Robert Voisey at Spectrum, NYC, in 2012. In 2001, Robert created The American Composer Timeline, the first in-depth listing of American composers from 1690 to the present, to appear on the Internet.
