Hoover says, simply, "My two short preludes are self-explanatory: Uptown is energetic and up tempo, and Out of Town is pastoral." Commissioned by the duo of Zara Lawler (flute) and Paul Fadoul (marimba/vibraphone), Two Preludes was premiered at the New York Flute Club's tribute concert for Ms. Hoover in March, 2013, and now appears on Lawler and Fadoul's new CD Prelude Cocktail.
