Attargatis (1999) for flute alone /
für Flöte solo |
|
Flute is my chosen instrument and I've performed widely as a flutist. It's an instrument that has featured in many of my compositions, though I've written only one other for flute alone, my "Tannenbaum Variations" in 1984. When asked to compose another piece for flute alone in 1999, I had been reading about the ancient Syrian fertility goddess named Attargatis, whose altar lay in the middle of a lake and whose worship was connected with the adoration of water, hence the new work's title. Composed 1999 in Cambridge,
England |
