Flute Duet Flute - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.845148 Composed by Phil Beaman. Contemporary,Folk,Hip-Hop,Instructional,R & B. Score. 19 pages. Phil Beaman #6258213. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845148). This unique piece was commissioned for a Royal performance at the British Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. The requirement was to write a student piece for flute that told a story and represented the spirit, culture, and atmosphere of your country. Representing the island country of Grenada I wrote a flute duet using two local folk themes depicting 'sleep' and 'party'. The two flutes debate which to do. Each flute initially states their case, then the arguing begins back and forth as the phrases get shorter. Things get a bit more animated when the flutes begin interrupting and 'dissing' each other. With more energy they begin 'talking' over each other resulting in polyrhthyms. Finally they start shouting at each other and the pitch begins to rise before being abruptly stopped before things get out of hand. (The score includes prefaces and appendices to explain the commission, the story, and performance tips in greater detail.)
