Study in Blue
Study in Blue is a short piece for C flute that takes the performer and listener on a journey through a melodically intricate sound world. It was premiered in the summer of 2014 during a Rarescale concert at Harlaxton Manor, Grantham. It is available from both www.justflutes.com and Tetractys Publishing.
A Rain Sketch
A Rain Sketch is in ternary form and is a deceptively swift piece to play and is great for practicing left-hand Alberti style chord shapes. The use of the damper pedal is evocative of a 'wet' sound, as the bass notes 'drip', like rain drops falling from water-soaked roof tiles. Clouds break and the sunlight shines in the central B section, until the rain falls again. A Rain Sketch can be purchased from www.scoreexchange.com and www.sheetmusicplus.com.
