*FINALIST in the 2004 NFA Newly-Published Music Competition
Flute Septet was commissioned by, dedicated to and premiered by the Mass. Flute Choir under the direction of Danielle Boudrot. The first movement, begins with parallel chords , moves to a fugue and returns to the initial chordal texture. The 2nd is a tour de force with swirling 16th notes. The 3rd features a plaintive theme over repeated chords and the last movement presents the theme in low flutes, followed by tossing the theme around in various registers with a fast and furious conclusion. Scored for 5 C flutes, alto & bass flute.
