Score
Helix reflection : for flute and B flat clarinet / Jane Stanley.
Library shelf no. 785.812/STA 1 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
Helix Reflection is a concentrated meditation for flute and clarinet. An impetus for the piece was the image of a double helix. This is evoked musically through interweaving melodic activity between the two lines. The piece opens with the two instruments playing sustained notes separated by a small interval. Their sonorities are coloured with microtonal inflections, glissandi and variations in vibrato. Over time harmonic stasis gives way to greater mobility and melodic ornamentation.
