Juices of Pith

for flute and piano
composed 1996/98; duration 10 minutes
commissioned by Ny Musik i Birkerød (Denmark)
world premiere Danish Broadcasting Corporation 1998
Barcelona 216: David Albet – flute; Jordi Maso – piano

The piece opens with the flute exploring it’s lowest register. The piano accompanies with dense chords, staccato, catching the resonating sound with the pedal. The music moves then up into the middle register of the flute, with long flowing lines and rich articulation. The piano builds adornments on the sustained notes, and the effect is one of a simple melodic line being enriched from within the timbrical qualities of the flute.
