Visiting with Cecil Forsyth

Flute and Horn, with narrator

Approx. 11 minutes

2015

Inspired by Cecil Forsyth’s important but quirky book Orchestration, this work shows the author’s approach to these disparate instruments, while forcing the instruments to work together.

Commissioned by Peggy Moran with Kent Leslie, Bernhard Scully and Angela Winter.

Obviously the instrumentation on this particular piece cannot really be revised, but if you need a duo for different instruments and you like the concept, I am happy write a new one for you based on the same concept. It was a lot of fun!
