A
beautiful cantabile song
without words, A SONG
FROM THE HEART has all of
Ewazen’sexpressive
elegance, yet is
performable by
student-level players as
well as on formal
recitals.Originally
composed for Trumpet and
Piano, Ewazen created the
flute transcription for
CindyAnne Broz as the
title track for her
Albany CD including three
Ewazen works.
A SONG
FROM THE HEART was
originally composed for
Trumpet andPiano and is
dedicated to Dennis Caron
on the occasion of his
retirement. It
wascommissioned by his
wife, Marsha Caron, and
was premiered at
Dennis’s
retirementparty by our
mutual friend Charles
Schlueter, long-time
principal trumpet of
theBoston Symphony. A
SONG FROM THE HEART is
filled with lyricism and
richharmonies, as the
trumpet line sings and
soars over a rich
accompaniment.The flute
version of this work was
written for my dear
friend Cindy Anne Broz,
for herAlbany CD
including first
recordings of 3 of my
flute pieces. Cindy was
wonderfulin helping me
with my flute
arrangement, as I heard
her lovely, bright high
register– hence my
putting some key passages
of the piece up an
octave, shaping the
phrasestructures to
flatter the lyrical flute
sonorities.
