Duo for alto flute and bass flute, inspired by the poem Rosa Divina by Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz (a Mexican nun and poet from the 17th century). (Sung version also available at: http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/rosa-divina-for-alto-and-baritone-digital-sheet-music/19978360 ) The poem explores the mystery of the rose, which deceives us in its life and teaches us in its death. The music is written with a mediaeval feel and at one point, for special effect, provides a startling three note phrase of parallel fifths. The mode is Dorian. The sound sample is an electronic preview The original alto and bass voice performance can be heard on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUz-elGy40Y.
