Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533595). Ancient Airs (2004) for solo flute was written for and is dedicated to flutist Sandra Ragusa.It is in two movements, each with a spirit of ancient airs re-imagined in a modern context.The ancestry of the modern flute as a folk instrument is the inspiration for the work's concept.They should always be played with a lyrical, singing approach.Beyond the Mountain uses as its basic musical material a simple transformation of a modalmelody in D minor. Gradually tones are added borrowed from other modalities. The openingsection is slow and lyrical. The middle section is more active -- contrasting the D minorchord tones with the added diminished tones of the first section. The final section recalls thematerial of the opening with a wider transformation.Forgotten Incantation uses a wider modal language than the first movement. Although stillgenerally slow and song-like, it is more energetic. Energetic gestures interrupt and drive thesong narrative forwards.
