To mark its 50th anniversary, the Flute Society of Washington commissioned Daniel Dorff to compose a celebratory work for large flute ensemble, to premiere en masse at its 2016 convention. Dorff responded with Fireworks, a 5-minute dazzler scored for 2 piccolos, 4 C flutes, 2 altos, 2 basses, and 1 contrabass. In describing performance of Fireworks, Dorff says: Real pyrotechnic fireworks typically shoot upward quickly and neatly, pop at the top, and then cascade downward slowly in a beautifully out-of-sync descent. Fireworks has many passages musically depicting this crisp upward whoosh exploding into downward sprinkles, often punctuated by a pop at the top.PERFORMANCE SUGGESTIONS1) FIREWORKS may be performed by any size ensemble ranging from 11 soloists up to a large festival choir. It may be preferable to keep the piccolos at one player per part even when the other parts have multiple players.2) Real pyrotechnic fireworks typically shoot upward quickly and neatly, pop at the top, and then cascade downward slowly in a beautifully out-of-sync descent. FIREWORKS has many passages musically depicting this crisp upward whoosh exploding into downward sprinkles, often punctuated by a pop at the top.3) All dynamics are relative to the whole blend, and some performance situations may require attention and adjustments to keep the balance as notated.4) The “puh†effect with x-shaped noteheads in the Bass and Contrabass parts is a beatbox technique sounding similar to pizzicato. There is naturally-produced flute pitch along with the percussive attack.5) “Like tolling bells†(bar 191 onward) indicates a rapid decay of each note, like church bells.This will help the antiphonal echo beginning in bar 195, and the seating placement may also enhance the antiphonal effect.

George Frideric Handel (1685–1759) is a German composer whose musical legacy has lasted over three hundred years. While most people know his Hallelujah Chorus from the oratorio Messiah, many of his other compositions are still performed around the world, including La Rejouissance from the Royal Fireworks Suite. The suite was commissioned by King George of England to celebrate the Treaty of Aix-La-Chapel. King George said he wanted only wind and percussion instruments, specifically requesting “no fiddles.†12,000 people attended the dress rehearsal of the concert. In contrast, the actual performance happened in the rain, which meant many of the fireworks did light, but managed to set the immense pavilion on fire. Handel later added strings to the Royal Fireworks Suite for a charity performance for The Foundling Hospital of London.For young students, the character of Handel’s music is defined by the types of bow strokes. Quarter notes should be played with a detached bow stroke with a hint of an accent. Eighth notes may be played more connected but will sound best with a slight détaché stroke. If more advanced students join the performance, a minimized vibrato is typical of music from the Baroque era. Terraced dynamics may be practiced by stopping just before the dynamic change and adjusting the weight of the bow arm, then proceeding in the new dynamic such as in mm. 37–39.

Ferruccio Busoni corresponded with the publishing house Breitkopf & Hartel for over 40 years, and practically the entire correspondence more than 1,500 missives has survived. They depict the composer, arranger, editor and pianist as a witty writer, who reports with great eloquence on his many interests. His epistolary partner, in this case, is the publisher who printed nearly all of Busonis works. The dialogue is often so intense that up to 15 letters per month are exchanged. The hesitant beginning evolved into something like a friendship that gradually cooled and practically led to an estrangement at the end. While the correspondence allows us many insights into the genesis of Busonis works, it is also punctuated with remarks about the situation of contemporary music and publishing, as well as with comments on the political developments of the day.
