Mennin's Concerto for Flute and Orchestra was completed only shortly before his untimely death at age 60 in 1983. The commission from the New York Philharmonic was premiered posthumously the following year. We are pleased to make available the study score on demand. (Also available: Flute and Piano reduction, CF.O5172).

In this one-movement concerto the flute is a highly adaptable soloist: at times a whispering breath on a starry sky, at others an arctic bird soaring above a winter landscape, taking startled flight on spotting a human figure. The idea for this work came to Nieminen in Rome when he was kept awake by persistent birdsong in the heat of the night. The title alludes to the last novel, Palomar, by Italo Calvino.
