New flute piece!

April 27th was a night of new flute music at the University of Oregon thanks to the collaborations between Molly Barth‘s flute studio and the Oregon Composer’s Forum. Back in December of 2008, each composer was assigned a flutist based on compositional style and various other musical factors. I had the pleasure of working with Kelly Mullins, a sophomore music education major. The result of our collaboration together can be heard at my streaming music website, ubuntuMusic. The piece is basically a result of listening to too much 20th-century French music, mostly Poulenc. Overall, I am pleased with our performance, however, some of the audience members decided to bring in their young children. This made quite a lot of noise in the recording and were very distracting to our performance; sadly they were asked to leave after our piece was performed. None the less, ENJOY!
