As the title suggests, ON THE MOVE is a perky Allegro full of charming optimism. Louke wrote this trio for three matching flutes of any size, equally suitable for three C flutes or any combination of matching low flutes. The 5½-minute work is in Fast-Moderato-Fast form, and suitable for students through professionals. Phyllis Louke composed ON THE MOVE to premiere herself, along with Sharon Byer and Paige Long on three contrabass flutes, at the 2020 International Low Flutes Festival in Tokyo.
ON THE MOVE is a trio for three flutes of any matching size; it also works well with a larger ensemble, using multiple players on each part. It was composed for my dear friends Sharyn Byer, Paige Long, and me to premiere (on 3 contrabasses!) at the 2nd International Low Flutes Festival in Tokyo, originally scheduled for March 2020.Since the three of us and our husbands love to travel together, we usually find ourselves on the move traveling and making music together at least once a year.ON THE MOVE is written in ABA form with a short coda. The opening (and closing) sections are energetic and rhythmic with some syncopation, while the center section is a little slower and more expressive with lyrical melodies and flowing lines.
