5 Enigmatic Miniatures For Flute And Cello

It’s one thing to write duets but to write duets with oftentimes mysterious and inexplicable titles. Titles which encourage, involve or resort to inner contemplation.

Miniature 1 What is if

Miniature 2 In The Kingdom of The Land

Miniature 3 Beneath An Emerald sun

Miniature 3 A Day In The Life of Urgency

Miniature 5 Agile Angel Of A Crescent Moon

These titles are not meant to be baffling, perplexing or bewildering. They are meant to evoke contemplation of completely subjective understandings of purposes and goals that are transcendent, extraordinary, of truthful beautiful hopes that warrant and attest to this extra ordinary event called life. If an individual wants to own something precious like gems then it’s thoughtful and necessary that this individual make the effort to acquire these gems these pearls of understanding. And one acquires these pearls by paying attention to what is obviously right before them. And what is obviously right before them? There is something more going on here then what meets the naked eye. Something simple, profound and immediate.

So what does all this have to do with enigmatic titles of miniatures for some classical chamber music? This is exactly the place where an artist or composer can pose or invoke introspective inquiry. This opportunity gives the artist or composer the license to create works that sincerely try to express something through music that cannot be expressed logically or methodically. Can one say that the coming and going of this breath is logical or methodical. An illogical non-literal and figuratively drawn hand can suggest and may reveal to a observant observer that he or she may be holding in the palm of their hand a secret reality that is not meant to remain secret.
