This short composition is an exercise based on counterpoint and
contrapuntal harmony. It is scored for three flutes and It has been
written in C# Minor. Counterpoint builds texure by taking a number
of melody lines and overlapping them. You will see I have composed
three lines and moved the top and bottom lines in contrary motion
as heard in such polyphony as Thomas Talice's Spem in Alium
A mixture between the key signature, the orchestration and the
various time signature jumps gives this piece it's folky feel. I started
my composition in the triad of C# minor and us the melodies developed
I ended up crossing between the chords of F# minor, D# and E minor
these various chords help to keep the piece interesting.
