Dancing Night Wind

Published by Echelon Music:

 *     Dancing Night Wind
  A flute solo, but the best recording I have of it is by Charlie Brighton who heard the piece and thought he could do a grand job with it as a solo tuba piece.  I think he did an outstanding job.  (He reviewed the piece; see below.)

    Listen here.

This piece was premiered in Sacramento in 2011, by Maquette Kuper, who is the director of the Davis Youth Flute Choir.

Reviews
 A flute's magic flight

With due apologies to Herr Mozart for the headline, this is ravishing music for a solo flute. Full of dance-like figurations, subtle changes in rhythm, lyrical episodes and dream-like reveries. The technical demands are self-evident along with the challenge of combining and balancing pace and poise in such a carefully written piece. Highly satisfying.

 Brilliant

A wonderful piece, full of atmosphere, great fun to play and listen to.  I featured it in my Euphonium recital and the live recording can be heard here, played in concert C, with a few octave changes.

Best wishes,
~ Charley Brighton, BBC Winds, London
