‘Aviana’ for flute solo is my most recent piece. It was my intention to write a work that, hopefully, would pique the interest of the contemporary flutist. It is a piece that is both challenging and idiomatic, with a sprinkling of extended techniques. I believe the composition to be evocative as well, and, if skillfully performed, should appeal to the imagination of the listener.
Ariana is around 5 minutes in length and, as the title suggests, is meant to evoke images of birds of all shapes and sizes filling the sky.
The entire piece is available on request. You can hear the midi version below:
