Description
Four Pieces for solo flute – Hugh Shrapnel
These four short character pieces: Sequence, Quickstep, Nocturne and Flight were inspired by the wonderful flautist Claire McKenna to whom they are dedicated. She gave their first performance at a concert of my works given by the Vermilion Ensemble at the Planet Tree Festival in London in 2004.
The title of the first piece Sequence gives the clue to its musical character. Quickstep is disjunct and quirky in character rather like a bird’s quick hops and sudden flights into the air. Nocturne is, by way of contrast lyrical and thoughtful in character. Flight is also birdlike in character with flutter tongue squawks near the end.
