Library shelf no. 788.32/BRA 8 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
Sweet Silver Winds is the third movement in the 'Silver Winds Suite'. The duration is approximately 3 minutes. The melodies and harmonies in this movement move between the D and G Aeolian Modes. After the opening piano flourish, the flute plays a two-bar rhythm using the hard tongue effect, followed by the five -bar opening theme composed with rapid 16ths with several syncopated effects. After this statement of the theme, the piano joins the flute for the bridging melodic material. The work includes sections of flutter tonguing and segments where the flautist sings and plays the melodies at the same time.
