Kembang
Suling (1996) Kembang Suling is a Pan-Asian sonata composed by the New Zealand composer and percussionist, Gareth Farr. Inspired by indigenous sounds, this work evokes the gamelan and the suling (Balinese bamboo flute) followed by the plaintive voice of the Japanese shakuhachi flute. The last movement is a rollicking dance based on a South Indian scale and set in repeated rhythmic patterns of 5/4, 5/8 and 5/16. Published by Promethean Editions Concerto
No. 1 for flute & percussion (1939) Earnest,
Fresh, and Fastish West Coast composer Lou Harrison taught at the Black Mountain College in North Carolina in the 1940s. As our first collaborative endeavor, this ever-fresh composition is especially significant and dear to us. We recorded this version one-week before Lou Harrison passed away on February 2, 2003. Andante from Sonata in E Major, BWV 1034 JS Bach (1685-1750) We pay homage to this great composer whose music transcends time. Gypsy Waltz Andrew Levin (b. 1957) Gypsy Waltz is one of three charming tunes we have chosen from The 3/4 Well-Tempered Waltz Book (1999) by Andrew Levin, professor of music at Clemson University.
