Heckscher Park

This evocative, tightly constructed flute quartet is both lyrical and playful. In keeping with the composer's philosophy, it is meant to be fun to play and fun to listen to. The first movement, "Twilight," is a melodic and harmonically rich evening meditation. The second movement, "Morning," is lively and varied in tone, with a crowd-pleasing ending. The first movement is of medium difficulty and the last movement is a bit more challenging. The work can be performed on either four C flutes, or three C flutes plus alto flute (both a flute 4 and an alto flute part are provided). Duration: Approx. 6:10.
