Small Ensemble Flute,Recorder - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.533209 Composed by Carson Cooman. Baroque,Concert,Contemporary,Standards. Score and parts. 3 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #1986199. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533209). Partita (2003) for solo baroque flute was written for and is dedicated to flutist Dolores Zdancewicz, who commissioned a piece specifically to take advantage of the baroque flute's unique sonic properties. This work may also be performed on the recorder. The first movement, Cantus (Song), is a simple lyrical piece exploring continuous transformation of the principal melodic ideas. The second movement, Ludus (Game), is in an ABA form. The movement explores the tone color contrast between different note combinations on the baroque flute -- the property that some notes have a more veiled sound color than other notes. It is a movement of humor and zest. Recorded by Stephen Schultz, baroque flute on Naxos American Classics CD Cooman: Symphonines II and III.
