Pulling

Pulling, for 4 flutes or as many flutes as possible, was conceived as a somewhat-planned improvisation and premiered in 1985. It's a quiet, rather soothing piece, with key-clicking and breath sounds in the opening. Much of the piece is grounded on a low D pedal. Players read from the score and are divided into two parts, with their pitches overlapping. The whole thing is quite free in execution. Published by Visible Music.
