Why?

Solo flute

(1994)

Duration: 7 minutes

Why? was written in 1994 after reading about all the inhuman atrocities that were taking place in the war in the Balkans. The character of the piece should be very personal and much of the flow can be improvised. Timing and theater in performance are essential to bringing the piece music to life and can be extreme.



Score available from Donemus Publishing
