Sheet Music: ScoreDes oiseaux et de la danse : flute solo / Peter Rankine.by Peter Rankine (1991)
|
Product details
This music falls into two sections. In 'des Oiseaux', fantastic
birdcalls provide the thematic material and something of the
dramatic character of the music, while 'la Danse' is a short,
ecstatic dance of high energy and constantly changing metres.
The modern flute seems to have been born in France around the
turn of the twentieth century. The confluence of winning
instrument design, wonderful players and pedagogues, and inspired
composers put the flute on the musical map as never before. In
the next generation, Olivier Messiaen composed Le Merle
Noir for a competition. All of this background played on my
mind, as did Henri Matisse's series of paintings La Danse,
Nasturtiams et 'la Danse', etc - the inspiration for the diptych
format of this work.
