Hoover says, simply, "My two short preludes are self-explanatory: Uptown is energetic and up tempo, and Out of Town is pastoral." Commissioned by the duo of Zara Lawler (flute) and Paul Fadoul (marimba/vibraphone), Two Preludes was premiered at the New York Flute Club's tribute concert for Ms. Hoover in March, 2013, and now appears on Lawler and Fadoul's new CD Prelude Cocktail. For much more information, including an interview with Ms. Hoover, see Lawler and Fadoul's website. For advanced performers.
