The title
Fanmi Imèn is
Haitian Creole for Maya
Angelouââ¬â¢s
famous work, Human
Family. Both the musical
and literary poems
acknowledge differences
within mankind due to
ethnicity, background,
and geography, but
Angelouââ¬â¢s
refrain: ââ¬Åwe
are more alike, my
friends, than we are
unalikeââ¬Â,
reaffirms our humanity as
a reminder of unity.
Colemanââ¬â¢s
work draws inspiration
from French flute music
blended with an
underlying pentatonicism
found in Asian
traditions, a caravan
through Middle Eastern
parts of the world
merging with Flamenco,
and an upbeat journey
southward into Africa
with the sounds of
Kalimba (thumb piano).
Fanmi Imèn was
commissioned by the
National Flute
Association for its 2018
High School Soloist
Competition.

This
composition was created
for young musicians
(mostly teenagers), and
will be played as a pop
song. Indeed, its texture
(silky and polished) is
related to the use of
triplets and harmonic
series built on the
principle of 'verse /
chorus'. Its tempo (close
to the human body beat)
and duration (3 minutes)
will make it the hit of
the summer!

“Andr
é Jolivet
(1905-1974) established
his love for composition
from a young age. This
remained throughout his
life, and he held the
post of Professor of
Composition from
1966-1970 at the Paris
Conservatoire. Caprice
Fantasy for Flute and
Piano was published in
1954, and remains highly
regarded. Jolivet,
himself a cellist, wished
to explore composition
for all instruments, and
therefore has a
considerable number of
works in all fields. The
composer's style is also
known for its
spirituality, and the
desire to associate the
everyday with the
magical, and the human
with the universal.
Jolivet draws on
acoustics and atonality,
as heard in his Caprice
Fantasy. The piece
requires advanced skills
due to its use of complex
rhythms and exploited
tonality. For all
advanced flautists,
Jolivet provides an
exciting, alternative
piece for the
instrument's
repertoire.&rdquo.

A
welcome addition to the
bass flute repertoire,
Dorff’s 14-minute
sonata is designed as two
pairs of slow-fast
movements. While composed
as a complete 4-movement
sonata, either half may
be performed alone as a
7-minute recital work.
The movement titles are:
I. Sprawling, burbling;
II. Sparkling,
glistening; III. Under
Winter; and IV. Spring
Spirits. When Peter
Sheridan commissioned me
to write a piece for bass
flute and piano, his only
requests were a
sonata-like
multi-movement work, and
some kind of reference to
New York, where we both
grew up. Just the thought
of a bass flute, with its
broad and mighty
airstream, already
reminded me of the mighty
Hudson River: from the
dense woods of upstate
New York, through the
beautiful landscapes of
New Paltz and
Poughkeepsie, down
through the celebrated
Manhattan waterway.As I
daydreamed how to build a
sonata inspired by the
Hudson, I thought of its
deep primal nature carved
by the Ice Age, and the
life within the river and
on its shores long before
humans arrived. I thought
of how the river’s
magnetism drew Native
Americans who honored and
built their lives around
it. I thought of
beautiful trees and
wildlife, the annual
cycles of ecosystems, and
the natural symbiosis
between the river itself,
the life within, and the
life on land spawned by
the river’s
resources.I wondered what
if Thoreau had sat by the
Hudson rather than by
Walden Pond; I wondered
what if Hesse had set
Siddhartha in the Hudson
Valley with this river as
his metaphor for the flow
of life and time.I
wondered whether the
sonata should flow from
north to south, or have
chronological references.
I wondered if I should
allude to the many poets
and painters who have
drawn inspiration from
the mighty Hudson. Every
thought led to the
river’s essence,
its own spirit and life
— flowing through
raw nature, from skinny
trickles to mightiness
spawning cities;
supporting subtle life,
and becoming a central
commons for human
societies.The subtitle
Spirit of the Hudson
brings it all together.*
* *The sonata is built in
4 movements, with formal
inspiration from the
Baroque: A slow Mvt. 1
“Sprawling,
burbling†leads
directly to the rapid
Mvt. 2 “Sparkling,
glistening,â€
followed by another
slow-fast pair: Mvt. 3
“Under
Winter†which leads
directly into Mvt. 4
“Spring
Spirits.†In
addition to performances
of the complete sonata,
either pair of movements
may be performed on its
own for a shorter concert
segment.SONATA (SPIRIT OF
THE HUDSON) was premiered
at the International Low
Flutes Festival in April
2018 by its commissioner,
bass flutist Peter
Sheridan, with Hyeeun
Hahm as pianist.
