Description
EYEWITNESS (1991) A quartet for four flutists composed in multiphonic style. Multiple trills and tremolos, Indian flute-style glissandi, percussive sounds and other sonorities are used to create a kaleidoscopic sonic panorama. Instruments needed are four concert flutes, two piccolos, alto flute and two bass flutes. This is a big piece, with big musical ambitions – and it works! Commissioned by Flute Force, the Powell Quartet and the CalArts Contemporary Players.
