Solo
Alto Flute (or concert
flute) - The Hourglass is
a piece cast in four
movements. It draws its
inspiration from the myth
and legend of the
romantic ruined fortress
of Tintagel on the
Cornish coast. Musically
speaking the four
movements are mainly
tonal in character with a
slight undercurrent of a
melancholic longing which
ebbs and flows as the
music progresses.
Rhythmically the music
has a certain syncopated
feel, which adds elements
of apprehension,
excitement and
anticipation to the
musical discourse.
