The American imagist poet Amy Lowell (1874-1925) provided both the title and the substance for this brief descriptive work in her poem Night Clouds. I had been commissioned by the flute/harp duo Chaski to write a piece that had a different sound than most flute and harp pieces. The image of these elusive beasts cavorting through the night, before the appearance of the tiger sun, seemed to me perfectly suited for the flute and harp and would give me the chance to write a work for that combination that did NOT have overtones of nymphs and shepherds. I wanted to make much use of the harp's more violent sounds (beating the strings and the soundboard, for instance) as well as its unusual and idiomatic effects, such as pedal glissandi. For the flute, there are jet-whistle effects, extremes of register, pitch-bending and other decidedly non-pastoral gestures. The work was composed in 1986.   --Dan Welcher.

Mozart wrote the beautiful Concerto for Flute and Harp K.299 for the Duc de Guines and his talented daughter, despite being not particularly fond of either the flute or the harp!

This Andante has been adapted [and a cadenza added] for performance without orchestra, and all editorial markings are specifically for harpists.

However, the part may be easily performed on the piano by ignoring the editorial markings and adding some discreet pedalling wherever appropriate.
