GIANT
ESS was commissioned by
the Flute New Music
Consortium for
simultaneous
copremieresby many
consortium members in
early March 2018. The
composer has written,The
flute presents a
far-reaching melody that
seemingly never ends and
explores the entirerange
of the instrument at all
times. It is this quality
of the melodic line that
inspired the titleof the
work... the image of a
larger-than-life gigantic
performer who has the
ability to makethe flute
expand in range, timbre,
and volume, breaking the
bounds well beyond its
humblesize. The
phantasmagoric 9-minute
work is cast in one
rhapsodic
movement.
Giantess was
written on commission
from the Flute New Music
Consortium, an
organization comprised of
professional flutists
throughout the United
States. The flute
presents a far-reaching
melody that seemingly
never ends, and that
explores the entire range
of the instrument at all
times. It is this quality
of the melodic line that
inspired the title of the
work — the image
of a larger-than-life
gigantic performer who
has the ability to make
the flute expand in
range, timbre, and
volume, breaking the
bounds well beyond its
humble size.
