DUOâ
€™s succinct movement
titles (I. Here, II.
Open, III. Stark, IV.
Ardent) tease at
revealing the grand and
heartfelt inspiration for
exuberant romanticism in
this sonata-like work of
symphonic proportions and
depth. Charles Gibb is
both an accomplished
pianist and an
award-winning flutist,
who has written of this
compelling major addition
to the literature:
“This work is a
journey. What journey and
whose journey does not
matter. It is my journey,
it is your journey. It is
the journey of those who
came before us, and of
those who will come after
us. I wrote this hoping
that we can find each
other along the road, so
we can realize that we
don’t need to go
on the journey
alone.â€
Gibb’s DUO is sure
to become a favorite
major work for flute
recitalists. This work
is a journey. What
journey and whose journey
does not matter. It is my
journey, it is your
journey. It is the
journey of those who came
before us, and of those
who will come after us. I
wrote this hoping that we
can find each other along
the road, so we can
realize that we
don’t need to go
on the journey
alone.“Hereâ€
begins with three notes
that shape the rhythmic
and harmonic content of
the entire work. Melodies
and harmonies including
the tonic, dominant, and
leading tone can be found
in each of the four
movements. The first
moments of this movement
introduce the melody,
offering itself
unencumbered and
uninhibited. It shows
itself as it is. The
melodies soar, the
harmonies become voiced
more intricately, and the
opening theme repeats in
full grandeur. The
momentum slows down, and
the movement ends with a
sense of completion, yet
remains unbalanced.A
striking piano gesture
launches
“Open,†the
idea of instability
reflected with the
flowing flute trills and
unclear meter patterns in
the piano. The sensation
of an unsteady grace in
5/8 time arrives with a
piano ostinato. The
melody is expressive, yet
insecure and unbalanced
due to changing meters.
After a grand pause, the
movement transitions to
4/4 time with the flute
switching between duplet
and triplet flourishes.
After a rapid descent in
the flute, the opening
gesture returns, changed
and abruptly
interrupted.The third
movement,
“Stark,†is
very static, beginning
plainly but markedly. The
falling fifth calls out
continually throughout
the movement, searching,
lost. Melodies appear in
pieces, some smooth and
flowing, others rather
disjunct. The piece
climaxes with a line of
mournfulness, yet
revealing a deeper
strength through intense
projection of tone in the
high register. However,
the static harmonies
return, this time
unsteady all the way to
its foundation. This
destabilization repeats,
and then quietly
recedes.“Ardentâ
is the longest of the
movements and spans a
wide range of musical
emotion. Part of the
movement is fast paced,
energetic, and balances
order and disarray.
However, once the chaos
dies down, a gentle,
expressive theme comes
in. The theme itself is
very resolute; it is
order appearing from the
pandemonium. Conflict
returns, and order and
chaos become less
distinguishable from one
another, and soon fuse
together. However, order
returns with new meaning,
synthesized with previous
musical content, creating
a truer, deeper sense of
awareness or
understanding. A moment
of ambiguity arises, but
the flute persists,
supported by the
sensitive but firm
figuration in the piano,
and resoundingly comes to
a close, unburdened and
at ease.

THE
BONES OF MR. FORTUNE
(FREE AT LAST!) is an
11-minute concerto-like
work for solo flute
accompanied by symphonic
winds and percussion
– perfect to play
with band or with
orchestra, as well as
with the
composer’s own
piano reduction. The work
features lengthy
cadenzas, and
exhilarating dance-like
sections with the
ensemble. Hailstork
describes the historical
inspiration: Abused in
life and death, an
enslaved man (Mr.
Fortune) was owned by a
surgeon who preserved his
skeleton to study
anatomy. The bones
remained with the
doctor’s family
for generations, and were
given a proper burial
making national news in
2013, 215 years after Mr.
Fortune’s
death. Abused in life
and death, an enslaved
man known as Mr. Fortune
was honored with an
elaborate funeral more
than 200 years after he
died in Connecticut.Mr.
Fortune was owned by Dr.
Preserved Porter on a
farm in Waterbury,
Connecticut. When Fortune
died in 1798, Porter, a
bone surgeon, preserved
his skeleton by having
the bones boiled to study
anatomy at a time when
cadavers for medical
study were
disproportionately taken
from slaves, servants and
prisoners.One of
Porter’s
descendants gave the
skeleton in 1933 to
Mattatuck Museum in
Waterbury, where it was
displayed from the 1940s
until 1970. The
descendant referred to
the slave as
“Larry†and
his name was forgotten at
the time.A study by
forensic anthropologists
at the Quinnipiac
University School of
Medicine concluded that
Fortune was about 5 feet
5 inches tall and died at
around 55 years old. He
suffered a number of
painful ailments,
including a fracture in
his left hand, a severe
ankle sprain and lower
back pain. “He was
an individual who was in
considerable
distress,†a
forensic professor,
Richard Gonzalez said.I
was taken by the bizarre
story of Mr. Fortune and
decided to use it as the
stimulus for this
work.

Allegretto
for flute and piano by
Jozef Swider is a work of
a great artistic value
that comprises a perfect
didactic material,
filling a gap in the
Polish flute literature.
Allegretto for flute and
piano is a one-part
composition of an ABA1
structure with a cadenza.
A four-bar piano
introduction developsinto
the flute part intoning a
dance and folk-style
melody, which becomes
fragmented in terms of
rhythm and densified in
its facture. The dialogue
between the flute and the
piano involves mutual
motif complementation.
The melody gathers
momentum (numerous
ascending and descending
progressions,
undulations, typical
ties, trills), a dynamic
gradation develops into
the middle, more peaceful
and cantilena-style,
part. The culmination,
initially outlined by the
flute and continued by
the piano, leads to the
cadenza characterised by
considerable performative
freedom across motifs in
parts A and B, exhibiting
the colour and sound
values ofthe instrument.
The link A1 comprises a
quasi-variation
development of the first
passage of the work; it
is the most
dynamic,energetic and
diversified in terms of
the applied sound
registers (characteristic
alloctava marking),
articulation and agogics.
Themarking piu vivo in
bar 136, combined with
irregular metric
divisions and shifts in
accents, intensified
dynamics and expression
adds spontaneity,
ultimately leading to the
work's finale. The
application of the minor
mode, the economy of
expressive means and a
changeable course of
narration reflect
introvert characteristics
of the composer a man of
outstanding humbleness
and modesty, at the same
time full of unrest,
self-criticism and little
faith towards himself,
which is confirmed by
recently found notes of
his.

LITTL
E ANGEL was composed in
loving memory of a
friend’s daughter
who was stillborn, to
commemorate a life
unlived. The first
movement, Hopes and
Dreams, opens the work
with sweet optimism and
charm. The second
movement, Anticipation
and Loss is a musical
setting of joy followed
by profound sadness.
LITTLE ANGEL concludes
with Finding Peace as the
third movement opens with
grief and longing,
followed by a plaintive
cadenza, and finally
ending with peace and
hope. Little Angel was
commissioned by Janelle
Barrera in loving memory
of her daughter Daisy
Rose who was stillborn,
to commemorate a life
unlived.Little Angel is
written for flute and
piano in three
movements:1. Hopes and
Dreams: The first
movement begins with
three brief statements
that are introspective
and hopeful, looking
toward the future,
followed by a lyrical
melody in 3/4 meter.2.
Anticipation and Loss:
The second movement opens
with a playful melody in
mixed meter combining
simple time and compound
time. At letter C, the
tempo slows, and the tone
becomes decidedly more
serious and eventually
more somber.3. Finding
Peace: The third movement
opens with a melody
expressing grief and
longing, followed by a
plaintive cadenza, and
finally ending with peace
and hope.

“Wolf
gang Amadeus Mozart's
(1756-1791) Flute
Concerto in D is an
adaptation of the
original Oboe Concerto in
C, which the composer
reworked in 1778. The
Concerto remains widely
studied and performed on
both instruments, making
it one of the more
important Concerti in the
woodwind repertoire.
Concerto in D is in three
movements; 1. Allegro
aperto, 2. Adagio non
troppo, and 3. Rondo:
Allegretto. The first and
last movements are in the
tonic key, whilst the
second movement is in the
subdominant key of G
major. A Dutch flautist
of the time, Ferdinand de
Jean, commissioned Mozart
for four Flute quartets
and three Flute concerti.
However, the composer,
who famously disliked the
Flute, only completed
three quartets and one
concerto. Instead of
composing a second
concerto, Mozart
rearranged his Oboe
Concerto, with
substantial changes for
it to fit with the Flute.
De Jean did not approve,
yet the Concerto in D for
Flute remains as popular
to this day as the
Concerto in C for
Oboe.â€.
